Yes, also the 'dependency' bit is (often) less to do with getting money for FA and more to do with a fear of change. Like it or lump it, Blair's 'New Deal' did help quite few I know, little practical things like a free suit for an interview, a mobile phone, help with paying the rent until the wages come in. Some I know even got extra money to buy groceries and help with energy bills. Don't know the state of things now as far as that goes, but I do speak from what I actually know. I'm sure also New Deal made just as many people weep, just to keep myself clear;-)

EDIT:

Infact New Deal also included some of the goofy, soul mushing training schemes you speak of.

So I redressed that one myself I guess:-)
