CLEARS THE AIR SOMEWHAT:  A reasonable bureaucrat HERE makes a very good presentation on how to reform the existing system.  My caveat is the system is wrong to begin with because as long as its there, as long as it exists, people will figure out how to take advantage and game it.  Don't see why everyone wasn't better off when churches and civic organizations were the dominant players in welfare because at least then someone besides a bureaucrat or faceless official was involved with the players and could rally ordinary people to the effort of helping those in need. As it is now the bureaucrats et.al. have a stake in perpetuating the system (it is their livelihood!) and politicians obviously always want to buy and secure votes hence their is no real incentive to change.
