[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Aren't people on welfare/section 8 housing/homeless shelters getting paid? I think able bodied should be in work, training program, education or treatment. That was the idea behind welfare to work. And yes, pay and provide a pathway to even better pay. And I'm all for quality, universal day care. BUT, you WORK.[/quote] There hasn't been "welfare" since 1996. People who receive housing vouchers will lose them if their earnings go too high. What do you think people in homeless shelters get paid for? There are search-for-work requirements for unemployment insurance.[/quote] Rarely if ever enforced.[/quote]
