Did you know that if you build a $250,000 house on the beach or riverfront, with a magnificent view, you cannot get insurance on it from any commercial insurance company. But the government will pay up to $250,000 to rebuild the house if it is washed away. If you rebuild and it is damaged or washed away again, they will pay again, and again,and again. Build one in an area where you know it will be washed away if you can afford it, rent it, and if it does not rent or it is wasked away, eventually you can't lose, you will get your money back. Wealthy individuals and "corporations" build many such houses and even tracts of such houses for personal or rental reasons. Several hundred million or even billions of dollars are paid out every year for repairs or replacement of such houses, especially after hurricanes in resort areas. This is our taxes being used for welfare, too. THIS is the kind of welfare, for those who don't need it, and who shamelessly and unethically play the system, that I would like to see ended. To take away care for the poor, especially those who DO have jobs but cannot support a family, seems relatively selfish.
