If you get a welfare check, your time should be devoted to
some type of work to help the country. You got 45 hrs every

put them to work. Even forcing them to sit in a room 40 hrs a
week would help their work incentive.

You planning to provide quality child care to moms receiving welfare so
they can do your make work stuff?

The food stamp bill says the work requirement is contingent on child
care being available but they consider the time kids are in school to
be "child care".

A commitment to self-sufficiency is necessary before any potential
recipient can begin to receive benefits. Heads of household must enter
into an agreement they will become self-sufficient within a certain
timeframe.

And what if there are no jobs that pay enough to support the family.
Should self-sufficiency include robbing convenience stores?

Work fare is designed to assist low skill low wage people to do the
work they are qualified for and still end up with a subsidy that
allows a decent life. The intent is that they will actually learn a
skill and find a real job tho. Maybe job training should be part of
the deal.

Yes, I remember when that was done in some town in the midwest...the low
wage workers were bused two hours each way to clean a mall, because that
was the only work available. So, they had 12 hours days, and there was
no one around to watch their kids. And if a kid got sick or injured,
they had to find the mother and then figure out a way to transport her
back in the middle of the day. Great idea but only when it is practical.

I agree about the job training part, though. Train them to be banksters...

I think it's about time for another **** you Harry Krause. ;-)
