I'm slowly making my way through Graeber's The Utopia of Rules and he makes the argument that welfare requirements have been and always will be a way of paying people to make poor people feel ashamed. That said, the reason to do this is that the fewer people that claim their "entitlements", the less money you spend on them. The less money you spend on them, the more you can cut to "give back" to the taxpayers of the great state of Kentucky. The more you can cut taxes, the more Saint Reagan smiles down upon you.
