Tora4ever613, I do disagree. If a Yid sits and learns, even if he is not learning up a lot, he still does a very big mitsva — he is not wasting his time, chas ve’sholom. And it is not “an easy way out”, unless you are talking about someone getting a lot of money in support but managing to totally “butel” away — an unusual case.
If you want to tell me that we can’t afford to have everybody in Kollel for a long time — I agree. You must also remember that supporting people in learning is also a very big mitsva.
