Well at least you talk to him (he nods, deferring to the original topic). I'm confused though; I thought Clinton put an end to 'live on welfare forever' with his welfare-to-work initiative. Is that gone? If so when? If not, are your neighbors finding a way around it?
I had acquaintances years ago who were effectively living work-free by being 'disabled' and therefore eligible for SS and other stuff. Husband/wife couple, both gaming the system. They didn't live very high off the hog but they always had a roof over their heads - and a beer in their hands.
