Yeah, welfare has become quite elite in some states.
I remember when I was a kid if you were on welfare you got nothing. You got shelter and foodstamps and medicaid and you had to budget your money. There was no allowance for clothes and food. They were considered a luxury item. That's why all the projects were built in cities where transportation was abundant. You didn't see them going up in suburbs and rural areas.
At least that's how it was in NYC. My mother had to help a lot of the tenants budget their money from the govt. It wasn't part of her job description but you get friendly with some of the long time residents when they come down to pay the rent.
