That being said, I think it's all a matter of perspective. I went through my own period of being poor in the late 90s and I can assure you I wasn't wasting my assistance by waiting for the next new video game or computer accessory (yeah, I was a big geek back then too). It went to obtaining the food and things I needed while I went back to school. I can assure you I went without many things so that I could be sure my basics and rent were covered so I could re-educate myself.
There will always be examples of people abusing the assistance just like there will be examples of people using it very constructively to help them get to a point where they no longer need it.
