I agree with this. The government should promote welfare and betterment in those who place their economic welfare into its hands, such that they will get no actual money period, but only entitlements to certain things (housing, clothing, health care, food, access to transportation, mandatory education or employment training so long as they're not too unhealthy to do so), and that the things they are given should be only what they need to be given. For instance, food stamps should only cover healthy food.

This.

I think there should be a discretionary part to those benefits that exists when people can prove they are actively looking for work, doing certain kinds of unpaid work/volunteering, and/or recieving that education or training.
