What I care about is that anyone receiving welfare be actively engaged in a program (vocational training, retraining, or some such) that will result in getting them off of welfare. For example, an unwed mother who didn't finish high school would be provided child care and educational opportunity and a small stipend. Should she be stupid enough to get knocked up a second time, her first child is taken away and put up for adoption, and she is kicked onto the street where bad decisions belong (sort of). It's an "actions have consequences" type of plan, but some people think I lack compassion.


What you'll have here is a subclass of people that will continue to need to be cared for and housed. Just because one is involved in sometype of vocational program will not make them a decent or appropriate hire. Stupid is....has already been determined way before one becomes an adult or mooch off of society. Or else there will be a lot ..and I mean a lot of homeless people on our city streets.
