How is it possible to be a third generation welfare recipient? Doesn't unemployment run out after 2-3 years?

That was in Germany. They won't let you starve so if you absolutely can't or don't want to work there is a level of assistance to keep you from starving. I think it's the same in the US. You will always get some level of welfare to not starve.
It's dated but if anything it's gotten worse.
