> social conditioning over the past few generations in America that says that if even a tiny slice of the population would abuse a program, that program is worse than the problem itself

This problem is sort of caused by how hard Americans work. If you’re working two jobs to make ends meet, it is insulting to see someone lazing on the perceived fruits of your labour.

But now you get the fruits as well, and only have to work one job. The perceived insult will feel lessened, would be even more without one side constantly telling you to feel aggrieved over it.

Sure. But that group of people has been lied to a lot. So you need to front load the benefits.
