"easier" =/= "easy".

A lot of people on welfare would say that welfare makes their life easier. Very few would say it makes it easy.

Have you asked any of them how much "easier" it is, or are you assuming? I'm guessing you're assuming.

If someone continually applies for a welfare benefit, is that not prima facie evidence that it makes their life easier in some way?
