My wife, three kids and I have been on welfare, by choice, for over two years... and it's been just fine. We have two cars, a mortgage and for over a year, not savings to draw upon.
Infact, welfare is so generous that we are thinking of having a few extra kids to increase our incomes. Why do the welfare-dependant have so many kids - because they are handsomly bribed by over-generous payments to have heaps of kids! More mouths on the public tit.
Welfare is so generous that there are no poor in Australia. Unless they have a problem with pokies, porn or plonk as the author so insightfully suggested.
