who would not benefit from job training. Like me.

Oh, yes I have a MSW degree which did me little good because my severely disabled daughter was placed (for 6 months) into an institution so I could work. Great I have a job welfare reform works - in the meantime my daughter is being abused at the institution. When I brought her home for Christmas her face was totally black and blue because of being beaten by another client. I quit my job -kept her home and did not sue the hell out of the state which was a mistake. And finally the state gave me an exemption from Clintons law.
