Not stupider. Just making choices that aren't economically feasible and are dependent on handouts from those who make more economically sound decisions (or happen to be on top of resources that are currently valuable on the market) to maintain a lifestyle more similar to those making those more economically sound decisions. There's more to life than money though, so just because something isn't economically the best idea doesn't mean its a bad idea. And I think we should still have a safety net that makes sure even people who make even bad decisions are still have a decent quality of life.
But given its typically those complaining about "handouts" like food stamps who are the biggest recipients of them, it might be in their best interest to realize they shouldn't be voting for leopards if they don't want their faces eaten.
