Sadly, whipping on people who recieve benefits is a useful and convenient tool to have in reserve for politicians who are failing and need to deflect attention from that.

Yup. I recieve them because I am disabled with a progressive condotion and of course, poor. But I'm lumped in with those called "leeches". I'm just trying to feed myself and my family. I will shamelessly swipe my EBT card as many times as I must.
