I do see your point in one way because that would mean we should give away entire boxes of Diapers or Depends. Then there are Razors for men where some jobs require a clean shave. What about Food? Can't live without it or Water. How about Toilet Paper? Cleaning Supplies to prevent disease? 

On the other hand, like you said, if you are dirt poor because you have a disability and cannot work then OK. You need assistance. But if you chose to have 8 kids and are a stay at home mom you need to rethink your choices. imo.  

If you have 2-3 kids that you *can* afford and your spouse dies and now you have no insurance then also OK. 

But to take it further into Rant Land: Choosing to have more than one child out of wedlock and then expecting tons of assistance is not a mistake. That is a choice. And it's sad for the kids.
