As for state welfare, how about instead of giving out food and shelter, you make those who can work, work? there are probably plenty of jobs that the state hires people to do that can be done by those unfortunate enough to need some help. Having people work for welfare would even filter out those who are just being lazy. That could work to a degree (though a federal version would be more streamlined), but what about those who can't work due to injury or other disabilities?

Gen. Grievous1138 (LOTR Mod Wiki Admin) comlink 21:49, December 1, 2016 (UTC) I forgot to mention it, but children and those who can't work due to medical problems would be exempt from the whole "he who does not work, does not eat" thing. As for handing control over to the federal government, I'm against that because having the states provide welfare means that the system can be tailored to that states needs better.
