EconLog | Library of Economics and Liberty: "Hypothetical for Bill: Imagine the two of us spent a few weeks interviewing people on welfare. Can you really imagine that I would ever concede that an alcoholic is "trying to make his life work"? Would I ever concede that a poor woman who repeatedly has unprotected sex with her drug-dealing boyfriend is "trying to make her life work"? You know me too well. I wouldn't denounce anyone to his face. But once you and I were alone, you can imagine my sarcasm: "Oh they're trying sooooo hard."
Maybe I'm wrong to think this way. But it's not for lack of first-hand experience."
