I support the creation and maintenance of a healthy welfare system. A healthy welfare system is one that works like scaffolding works. We use scaffolding in several other venues. We even use it in education. I used scaffolding with my daughter starting at about age seven when she demonstrated the ability to perform high level math problems but had not acquired the lower level skills. She achieved at a high level and in the process picked up the lower level skills incidentally. Over time the scaffolding support is gradually removed as it becomes unnecessary. Of course it requires that the people managing the scaffolding are paying attention and know what they are doing.

If you were to keep the scaffolding in place longer than necessary to get the targeted results, the scaffolding begins to get in the way and even give the impression that success would be impossible if the artificial crutch were to be removed. Unfortunately we have an unhealthy welfare system being managed by incompetent bureaucrats.
