What makes you think this inflationary pressure isn't already partially caused by these issues? Granted the amount of money printed out of thin air dwarfs this amount, but it is not something that can really accurately be accounted for either way.

We seem to be in agreement.

That is kind of my point... I understand some people need help for a variety of reasons. For example I don't think assistance in the case of disability would be a bad thing. However it is that very striving to survive that is what really motivates people to make something better of themselves so they never have to go back to that again. As far as the Darwinian perspective, what would be the result of a complete safety net placed permanently around society? What would then happen if said society had problems and then couldn't fulfill those roles any longer? That could be a VERY bad result training and breeding the ability for survival out of society. As far as people being lazy & reproducing more... I disagree. Just take a hard look at the existing welfare system, you will see children are used as tokens for payouts. It actually incentivises reproduction and unemployment.
