Hog wild? No. In moderation, yes.
Such as I am against the over use of the welfare system. It gets heavily abused and some people use it as their only source of getting by. That is wrong. It should help people to get off welfare instead of perpetually support them. Six months to a year at most, but not 5 or 10 years. Give support so people can be independent or use government aid as a TEMPORARY crutch during disasters, such as Katrina or those huge snow storms the Midwest had so they can get back on their feet.
Support those in need so that they no longer be in need, and eliminate dependency.
I advocate social programs that aids making people independent, not dependent, of the government.
