1. NO job skills, welfare will be over an need to get income source. Generation after generation do this. Solve problem- stop giving out money or give training and jobs. Welfare is an incentive itself: No heat bills, no medical bills, subsidized rents, food stamps, free summer camp, free programs, etc. I should be on welfare. I am still trying to pay off my oil bill from the winter!
2. Because daycare so expensive and very little help is offered in the way of daycare cost relief. I have 3 children ages 2, 5 and 17 - obviously the 17 yr old doesn't need daycare but daycare cost for the two younger ones would be roughly 1000/month if I was not a student and recieving special help.
