So the question becomes then, how do we break the welfare/project cycle in a way that gives kids a chance for economic success? I think, one of the prime ways, is to cut off welfare going forward (not for people who have it already). This will put the people of this class on notice that they will not be able to successfully raise children (children who are able to support themselves) without abtaining marketable skills themselves or marrying someone else with those skills. Is that not a good thing?


Yes it is. I would add phase out welfare over a number of years and massive infrastructure public/private partnerships taking advantage of today's low interest rates giving locals first priority on bidding on the projects and workers to be hired. Would be a lot of work over many years..Many jobs many opportunities no more excuses.
