[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think freebies move the needle. It’s like if you start feeding stay cats, they tell their buddies where to find the food and suddenly more show up.

The resources have to be tied to be limited and come with strings. I’m all for setting time limits on aid and requiring that those who receive aid attend parenting, personal finance, English language, job training, or other classes that will help lift them out of poverty.[/quote]

Most of the people you are thinking about are already living quite well financially working as gardeners, house cleaners, nannies, all under the table. However they are illiterate and often too busy to parent. Plus, no point of buying books- yet, they take kids to Disneyland and buy them game consoles and smartphones.
Trust me, I know, my child is in school with their kids.

Maybe, your kid, from being in school with their kids, will learn things about other people's lives that you haven't learned.[/quote]
