Sure, why not?
And it takes more than a job to survive. Step one is to avoid breeding. Problem is, if mom's about to lose her welfare 'cause "baby" turns 18, but if baby makes a baby, there's mo money coming in, guess what mom encourages baby to do?
There's nothing in that welfare that helps those people learn anything. How many of them know that dandilions are edible? How many people reading this know? They're actually a medicinal herb. An entire generation of welfare caste has been bred to not only depend on the system monetarily, but in every way- they can't think for themselves, they can't get food except to purchase it at a store (usually a convenience store, not even a grocer).
