I cannot help but get the impression that this was exactly one of the purposes of the thread title. I could be wrong, tho.
Something else: i have no idea how this is in other countries, but where i live nobody "enjoys" having to go to get welfare. You're kinda stigmatised if you have to, even if it's not your fault (for example when your shithead of a husband has left you and doesn't pay his alimony)
