20. The welfare sucks.. It was never "enough" to live on, and it's worse now
It's almost a "poverty guarantee".. :(.. The sad part is, that with a little bit more help..of the right kind, there would be no need for it..

The ticket out is education, and instead of making it easier, they seem to put extra hurdles up..

I don't remember where I read it, but somewhere, I read that it "costs" in excess of $30K per welfare recipient to administer their aid.. I though right then..why not give THEM that money.. they would not even NEED it then..:eyes:
