Meanwhile in reality, most welfare recipients are already employed, just underpaid, and of those that aren't employed, most go on to find jobs and exit welfare programs. I understand that this is supposed to be satire but it's still completely uninformed ignorance.

Businesses all over the US are desperate to find workers, but no one wants to work. Pretty much every sign in my area says workers needed, offering higher wages than I've ever seen for the industry, some even paying sign on bonuses or even paying for interviews. I've talked to people who don't want to go back to work, because they're making more from unemployment than they did working and would lose those benefits if they went back to work. It seems pretty obvious that if you pay people more not to work, many people aren't going to want to work!
