Quote from Tsing Tao:
Your compliment is appreciated, but I disagree - these folks aren't being helped back into the economy, and therein lies the problem.
If this were some sort of temporary rehabilitation, I'd be all for it. It's just a check. There's no solution to get them out of it. Quite the reverse actually, more and more are falling into it.
I believe in workfare, not welfare, and have stated such before. A limited time on assistance, unemployment, everything. Force them to take classes, or to work on the highways, I don't care. That, in itself, will put them back into some sort of viable situation I think.
