    When I first started my business I had to rely on food stamps to stay afloat for a few months after my savings ran out, but it let me keep trying and now I’ve been gainfully in business for over 15 years. Just anecdotal, but I would have had to give up or starve without assistance.

      I agree there’s people who do not end up domesticated by government handouts, they just need assistance long enough to land their next job.
