The options are to create jobs which would ultimately lower wages (because we all know that corporations and shareholders are not giving up their wages/dividends).
Or as Brownslave pointed out - breaking the cycle with welfare children which requires intervention from the rest of society and govt spending on social programs.
The amount spent on welfare is insignificant compared to the rest of the budget.
Number one...I don't care how small the amount of money is. It is not fair to the est of us.
Number two...if you don't participate in society, you don't deserve to get anything.
Number three we can't keep sweeping the problems under the rug.
More to follow later. I can only be so serious on a Sunday .
