Since those on welfare have tended to be on it for a reasonably
short time over the last couple decades, and that long predates
the 1995 welfare deform act, it would be absurd to make such a
permanent change for a temporary situation.

OTOH, if you count everyone who get some benefit from the govt,
then you have a setup for revolution.

Sterilization has, in the past, been a prescription for those
not liked by those in power. Let that become law and you can see
the revolution bloom.
