1986 San Diego Tribune (Nexis) 20 Mar. b15 In this dispute, no one questioned the propriety of government paying farmers not to work—nor was there any doubt that government could recruit enough dolees at the lower yield rate.

1990 Seattle Times (Nexis) 8 Jan. a6 As long as a stigma attached to being on the dole, there was a spur to self-sufficiency. Without it,..the dolee becomes slothful and enervated.
