The way to do that is to end welfare going forward so that someone in the family will have to have a job and transmit work values to the kids. At that point great schools will be of benefit. Before that culture change takes place it is just money wasted.

Starving people is never a good way to end anything...esp when there is not a viable alternative for them. You cut off welfare at this point you will have riots. Trust.


Whose cutting off welfare--not me for existing kids. It's only for future unborn kids who will remain unborn (for the most part) until their mother either has as job or working husband--thus ending the generational welfare cycle.

You're deluding yourself. Those future children will not remain unborn.

That is the right wings number 1 myth. They like the old simplistic Horatio Alger story.

<<thus ending the generational welfare cycle.>>

There is no generational welfare system, there is only a failure of the society to address the problem of poverty.

The rich should help the poor and the strong the weak and society needs to step in when the rich and strong refuse to do what is decent.
