In our unwillingness to make any decision that might hint at moral judgment and a reluctance to allow some to have less than others, we have gotten confused about personal responsibility and consequences. So when we are confronted with those legally competent people who squandered their money, the response will be to pick them up and take care of them.

I don't have a problem with picking them up and taking care of them. I do have a problem with taking the responsibility off their shoulders and with treating the help as a right or as insurance rather than charity.
