Before being too eager to cut back more on welfare, remember that it's
probably worth the investment to make sure the poor don't get unhappy
enough to do something about their plight.  In history, the poor sometimes
became noticeably irritated in rather violent and unpredictable ways when
things got bad enough.  If they happen to gain any measure of control in
these situations they are rather unmoved by libertarian arguments from
their perceived former oppressors.

But there's nothing to worry about as long as we control the vertical and
the horizontal. :-)
