[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was on welfare after I left my former husband, and had two kids under three. An extra $750 a month would have been life changing. Happy to report that like most welfare recipients, I was off the doles after a couple of years. I am all for this.[/quote] Right now the the general fund in Fairfax county takes in a bout 4.7 billion a year. Expanding this program to everyone up to 200% if the poverty line in the county would cost $1.5 billion. Do you cut 30% of the rest of the budget or do you raise every tax by 30%? Do you just hope that both people paying taxes don't flee and poor people don't flock? [/quote]
