...Should They Be More Generous?
Absolutely. The government needs to eliminate (not just cut back) on welfare benefits. We should be teaching people to be responsible and not enable the irresponsible. Welfare can only encourage laziness in people. The entire system needs to be reformed.

The safety net ought not be a hammock.
To err is human. To forgive divine. Neither of which is Marine Corps policy.

America used to be the land of the free. Today, its the land of the freebie.

Gutting it of fraud would be a big step forward.

The fraud of the poors is hugely overstated and the fraud done by the elites hugely understated. Clinton already limited eligibility back in the 90's when amending TANF - all those poor people gaming the system is small potatoes compared to the fraud going on by those in the know.

Google medicare fraud. In aggregate on an annual basis the level of fraud probably surpasses the cost of TANF.

$17 Billion a year.
Federal budget for 2015: $3.8 Trillion
It doesn't even register.
