How does one deal with it when it's clear based on the perspective of some politicians, some of the public and even in the media(yes I hear this even when I turn on the t.v at times)...that as far as anyone is concerned if you can't make it without the social safety network...you should basically die and quit wasting resources?

I mean its hard to deal with especially when I am already severely depressed...so any tips on how to deal with that sort of stigma.
