Then such programs would do better to raise a person's expectation and belief in themselves and their natural abilities rather than just punish them for having the audacity to be poor and taking advantage of a system that ensures they remain in poverty.
But that, it is a tall order, for it is known many of those who are poor have received the life education that they are despised by many a decent person, for what they have been told by those in a position of authority.
For example, many of those I know whom like myself claim welfare only live from day to day, they have no dreams to aspire to and in some cases dont care if they live or die, hence their living for the day mentality and all that it brings.
Myself, I have seen a way out of this perpetual sentence, for I have at last regained some of the confidence I had in the natural skills that once proved useful, and that smidgen of confidence was augmented by others, people who are in employment and with dreams and aspirations for the future, the employed helped me by offering good words and offers of help to get me on my feet, not offers of money, but action, they themselves are devoting their time and their skills to lift me up from the government ceated poverty trap for free, positive action by those who do not kow tow to the lies of the government and their pet the corporate media,
The poverty trap is real and unrelenting, it rots the mind and destroys the spirit and it keeps many a civil servant in employment, as no one ever considers that aspect of welfare do they, the people that find employment in operating the poverty trap, a thing every government needs or else face the redundancy of yet more many thousands of civil servants who will be surplus to requirements if those of welfare were encouraged to get jobs.
So, the unemployed and poor are in fact a requirement, they are needed for others employment, but the very least the government can do if the poor on welfare are a necessary evil, is stop giving them a bloody hard time, as it is bad enough living an enforced half or none life.
As to attacks on child benefit, does anyone really think child benefit is a reason to have children ? Thirty bucks per week for the first child and twenty bucks per week for a second child and thereafter, wow, just think of the lifestyle one could have on that, surrounded by kids on the want, their clothing and feeding needs, transportation and everything else that comes with having a child in modern society.
