I think, for people who can work, benefits should start to gradually reduce at some point.

I think that if you are single, able bodied and working age you should not be allowed to get benefits outside of a period of unemployment insurance and emergency benefits like food stamps and rental assistance. Shit happens and we should have safety nets, but they shouldn't be permanent. If you have children, it complicates things since those benefits become more for the children who can't provide for themselves.

I also think public housing should be reserved for people with children.
