Something akin to the "Poor House"? You want to make that safety net as unattractive as possible, so that only the truly destitute would accept it. The problem we have now is that welfare has become an accepted lifestyle.

The safety net isn't meant to be "attractive". It's there to make sure we don't have people starving or dying in the streets.
