I think if the children are very young, the mother should have the option to stay home with the kids (if she wants). And only if the outside child care is actually good. I do agree that education is an important part of the plan.janiejanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01344418655608102325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043146682403983019.post-66076222153545324392008-05-06T19:09:00.000-07:002008-05-06T19:09:00.000-07:00I have this idea on Welfare Reform.

Provide child care so we know mother will go to class. Hey it might help reinforce any lessons the chilren were learning in school that day.<BR/><BR/>3. Help mother get a better than minimum wage job.<BR/><BR/>I'm all about giving people a second chance, but the reality is we need to intellectually rearm a lot of people for the real world. Many didn't do it right the first time. I want them self-sufficient so we don't keep paying for them long term. The only downside is a lot of money up front and nobody wants to pay for that.Wolfrham Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11827518384467441352noreply@blogger.com
