Close.
Either way that's still beside the point. What you're basically advocating is more of the same. It's fundamentally flawed because it's designed for people who actually WANT to do something with their lives. And even that isn't the real issue here . The real issue is the fact that these people are abusing a system that is set up to help them and they're doing it on our dime.
Why are we supposed to excuse their irresponsibility exactly ? Just because they don't feel a Friday night is complete without a bottle of Aqua Velva doesn't mean they're allowed to waste millions of our dollars. They have plenty of opportunity (the exact same opportunities that I had) and they're ignoring them. That's their choice. In that case , since it's all about "them" then we should choose to set them free from society until they're ready to rejoin it. Or force them to join in and actually contribute. If that's unreasonable to you then I am glad you're not actually in charge of government social initiatives.
