a social malaise #2

With every positive, there are negatives. A saying from my mother coms to mind, " a warm bed only feeds indolence." For an example of my mother's words, look no further than the democratic state of California. Democrats are metaphorically making up this war bed for lazy people to lie in. They are doing this by increasing the budgets for building apartments that serve the poor and providing free food and more than three hundred-dollar subsides per week for the homeless. A report shows, during the coronavirus disease spreading, the state government has been paying the bills for the homeless who live in a four-star hotel. What a slap clouts to the face of hard-working people and taxpayers. For the Democrats, that is a smart way, charming poor's eyes and wooing tickets. But the cost is heavy in the future. Youth will be inspired by the idea which reaping without sowing. As some know, for now, the majority of homeless don't need to worry about their lives. If they pee in front of the offices, they will get what they want. Like my mother said, " the crying infant gets milk." Some joked that that is human progress, and I agree. But seriously, in a long term, this situation will become a social malaise.

"Democratic" makes me think that you're talking about the state's form of government, rather than their dominant political party.

"people" is also good. "individuals" is more formal, polite, and academic. You can choose either one. The way I changed "as some know" makes those two sentences mean: "The youth see homeless people and learn that most homeless people don't need to worry about their lives. Some homeless people have struggles in life - being homeless is not actually fun. But the young people don't know that and so they might think that being homeless is a good choice."

An English idiom that means the same thing would be "The squeaky wheel gets the grease."

Like my mother said, " tThe crying infantbaby gets the milk." Like my mother said, "The crying baby gets the milk."

Because you are quoting your mother, I think it's best to leave the idiom as is rather than change it to the English squeaky wheel one.
