I think that that is a really abstract way of looking at it. Sure, some people on welfare will be debilitated by it, just as some people who inherit money will be debilitated by that. Plenty of others won't be, though, and plenty of them use the aid it gives in constructive rather than destructive ways. Others just game the system, take what it gives and go into the underground economy--they don't get debilitated by it but also continue to use it even when it isn't needed.

I am quiet sure that all of those ways of using welfare exist. I don't have a clue how to tell how much of each is done though.
