Hipster Welfare

Living off of monthly donations from Patreon for bad art or 'important work', usually of the social justice variety, which is often subpar or unsellable otherwise. Basically, receiving the financial equivalent of a pity fuck.

"He'd be flipping burgers instead of complaining on his blog if it wasn't for hipster welfare."

wingnut welfare

Assistance, in the form of a public forum, granted to a washed-up, discredited, or deranged conservative figure. Typically provided by right-wing media outlets, but often provided by mainstream media outlets for the sake of appearing to be "balanced".

- Fox News is a primary supplier of wingnut welfare, giving copious amounts of airtime to the likes of Newt Gingrich, Karl Rove, Rudy Giuliani, and Sarah Palin.

- Charles Krauthammer, Cal Thomas, and Bill O'Reilly wouldn't have their weekly columns in respectable newspapers if not for wingnut welfare.

academic welfare

The dumbing-down of standards at branch/regional campuses so that their lower-class students can pass and ultimately graduate.

Man, this test was hard! Where's my "academic welfare"?

The "academic welfare" situation at Miami Hamilton is necessary for their mouth-breathers.

Without that "academic welfare" at MUH, his lazy butt would have failed out long ago!

Wall Street welfare

Government programs that allow Wall Street companies to stay in business and pay out their huge salaries and bonuses even though they've screwed up and should go under.

The Troubled Assets Relief Bill that gave $700 billon to Wall Street companies with no strings attached is the ultimate example of Wall Street welfare.

corporate welfare

A right wing government's blatent way of squandering hard earned tax payer's money by freely giving it to the big corporations they worship so much

Usually we would do this by hiring diggers at ridiculous prices from plant hire firms to fix up the roads, but since all the roads are fixed now and we have no excuse to give the plant hire firm more money we will just put it into corporate welfare
