Move all welfare/general assistance/food stamps from the Feds to Local/City/County level. Let the local government decide what support to provide, and raise all of the money to pay for those programs.

This will begin to return shame to the idea of living off your neighbors — Washington or the state capitol are too big and too far away — too easy to rationalize taking the money.

If recipients had to face the folks directly paying their way, every day on the streets of their town, it would stop looking like “free money” to both the payers and the payees.
