The solution to social programs is what I have advocated for over 40 years, its something like voluntary slavery.
You have 3 choices in life and can change your mind which one of the 3 you want to follow at any time.
#1 Bust your ass and make something of yourself.
#2 Indenture yourself to a #1 for your basic necessities.
#3 Lay down in the street and die.

It's amazing how well that parallels my own favorite slogan: "Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way".
Whenever progress (of any sort) is impeded, it's almost always due to people who won't lead, won't follow, and won't get the hell out of the way.
