Wednesday, August 31, 2005  The Answer to Welfare is Marriage???
1 comment:  peacenik said...  The reason for TANFs existance is
to help people finacially. It has not been shown conclusively
that marriage accomplishes this. The number one reason children
fail is not due to the numer of (correctly gendered) parents
availabe to that child it is due to the number of dollars
availabe to that child.  Providing mental health, educational
and employment services for ALL welfare recipients most
certainly reduces welfare role numbers.  Women in Oklahoma are
being told, think about getting married or we wont help you
learn your way out of poverty. The only help for you is to find
a man who is willing to financially support you. Women who allow
themselves to fall into the welfare trap already believe this,
that is why they fall back on the state check when a husbands is
not present. The state here, is a daddy replacement.  Why is the
state spending so much money teaching women to focus on their
relationships with men
