I know how expensive childcare is, and yes, it’s wrong for you to make me pay for your child’s care. I pay for mine and am quite satisfied with the current arrangement.
Does anyone have data on how many able bodied people of working age are getting “free free free”.
Both the federal welfare reform under Bill Clinton and workfare requirements in the states have gone after this problem.
Now no conservative politician has never hurt her standing with voters by attacking people getting free stuff… but, realistically, how many more people would Trump’s budget put back to work?
Whenever this issue gets looked into, it seems to always turn out that the working age people who are receiving benefits and not working fall into two categories: people who cannot work because of disabilities and women with chlldcare responsibilities and no inadequate access to child-care.
What would be great are some data on the size of the problem that this proposal will address.
