When the idea was re-introduced several years ago to reduce the Welfare rolls, there were objections from those on Welfare, including 'no child care' & 'no transportation'. I've got the solution for both of those objections....
No Child Care Set a few of those women up as daycare providers. For oversight, occaisional visits from DHR. Allow those folks working on Early Childhood Education degrees to mentor these women. That will take care of that pesky little problem.
No Transportation Train some of those women to drive buses.
See, objections overcame. ;D
Next!

The proposal for welfare recipients to work in their neighborhoods picking up trash, removing graffiti, etc. was termed as slavery and they wouldn't do it. They are not going to do daycare work or drive buses if they don't get paid to do it, excluding the welfare.

How about we just deny them welfare and tell them they can earn the money by working. Now THAT is innovative! There are child care resources for low-income families (in fact, I think the one here is called Child Care Resources.) A lot of these women think that their JOB is having children. I mean I guess it makes sense. They do get paid for it.

The mothers that would be going to work would be able to pay for their daycare/bus rides. It becomes self-sustainable.

At least that is the excuse.

If those same women or men on welfare had no familes, then a job would automatically appear? The problem of why they don't have a job isn't because they have kids or no transportation to get to the job.....they don't have jobs because they don't have the skills to get a job that would pay more than welfare. That being the case, they will choose welfare over working that provides a welfare level. I remeber during the welfare reform period there were many at an open mike in front of the MSM DEMANDING high paying jobs.....I think the government then went and "created" more government jobs and hired them. Same result, the productive people paying for the lazt people.

Well b.s. jobs or not, I would personally feel better about them earning their money than sitting at home getting paid for watching "Judge Judy."
Maybe, just MAYBE if the welfare receipiants knew they couldn't get away with NOT having a job, they would take the steps to better their skill sets so they could get a real job while working their b.s. government job. I mean, if you're going to have to put in your 8-5 anyway, you might have the epiphany that there are a lot of better 8-5's out there.
