The thing I find interesting is that in social science, they find links in interpersonal relationships like codependency, but try to deny that anything like dependency could arise due to welfare. From what I can observe the entire welfare system from top to bottom is one chain of dependency. Those receiving it are nudged into a useless life because its more comfortable than the struggles of the world. Those running the programs and supposedly assisting the poor depend on them staying that way for their own job security. It is not only rotten, but highly destructive to the lives of the very people it is supposed to help.

It is becoming increasing clear to me that John doesn't want to engage on the merits on this subject. His role is to denigrate any data to the contrary on the basis that it is professionally unfit (by social science standards)--yet he can't explain in clear manner how this is so. Too bad that John actually has a life outside this forum. He's busy doing other things. He's back now. And what would you like to discuss? In the short form we all use here.
