You don’t think that more applies to you? “ I’m getting mine, so I don’t care about what it does to our debt, currency, or the economic opportunity of people who are not even old enough to vote yet.”
After all, it’s all about “me, me ME, DAMMIT!!”
Put the squeeze on the real welfare recipients who aren't contributing, and haven't.
But the way to do this is by making the transition from welfare to work more attractive.
At present, someone getting welfare payments, subsidized housing, utility assistance, Medicaid, free phones, etc. will lose those benefits with very small increments in income that just won't replace the benefits or even come close. The recipients aren't stupid, and know they can't afford what goodies they have if they go to work (Hell, I can't afford all the benefits they get.)
So they don't.
I've paid in over 50 years, most of them not at all.
They are able-bodied; me, less so with every year.
I will work as long as I can, but with my industry is complete disruption these last few years, it's getting harder to make a decent paycheck, not easier.
