Wouldn't it work? Provide care for the disabled. Don't give free housing, free food, free money, and other free stuff to people who just wanna be slackers. Then employment participation rates would skyrocket while expenditures on welfare would plummet. Cities would get cleaner, have less crime, you see where I'm going with this...

Back before the Great Depression, this was standard economic theory. How this theory got undermined is a political one and quite alarming.
