In fascist ideology, in times of crisis and need, the state reserves support for members of the chosen nation, for “us” and not “them.” The justification is invariably because “they” are lazy, lack a work ethic, and cannot be trusted with state funds and because “they” are criminal and seek only to live off state largesse. In fascist politics, “they” can be cured of laziness and thievery by hard labor. This is why the gates of Auschwitz had emblazoned on them the slogan ARBEIT MACHT FREI—work shall make you free.
Like with the recent passing of the "One Great Beautiful Bill." I have heard people expressing joy that people are getting kicked off of their Medicaid insurance and saying they'll have to work like everyone else instead of collecting those "Medicaid checks" (which don't exist - Medicaid is insurance dollars paid directly to healthcare providers, not free money for people to spend).
