Naturally people love programs that help others.....until they have to pay for it themselves.
I'm happy to pay for it. Iv'e worked an upper middle class job for 20 years and one month and three days. I may need these programs one day. I have a little less than ten years to go until I get a minimum pension. twenty more years to go until I can retire without worry. The company I work for is a manufacturer and doing very badly. I could get lucky and continue to live a comfortable life or become homeless in a few years. Safety nets are important!
Safety nets are one thing. But what we have in this country is a system that supports not working, more than actually working for much of the population. In some states you can make as much as twenty dollars an hour by not working and not seeking employment.
