give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. teach a man to fish, and he'll eat for a lifetime. now, if you send the river across the ocean, where the water is cheaper, you end up with a man standing around with a fishing pole, starving his ass off. i agree that the welfare system is messed up, and there should be some major housecleaning done. but not done away with.because if there is even one person recieving it that really needs it, then its worth it. if we take these welfare mothers and give them jobs, they still wouldn't be able to work without daycare. and unless you create jobs that pay decent wages, or establish workplace childcare, they still wont be able to afford to work. what i dont understand is why the gov. doesnt go back to the old ccc days of the thirties. after high school, allow the people who cant afford college, and dont want to be crippled by student loans(another issue entirely),and dont want to join the army, to go to work for the gov. working on roads, in the forrests, cleaning up this place, while at the same time offer them technical training so that they can be competetive in the job market. make them sign a contract, and hold them to it. or after working for a number of years, pay for college like the military. i think it would eliminate the problem of illegal imigration (or at least make it a little better). oh well, i guess it goes back to the old saying, do onto others as you would have them do onto you, at least in some since.
