The grants, announced Friday in Georgia by Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, come as the Republican Congress is exploring ways to cut the program, which cost $74 billion last year - twice its cost in 2008.
Some in the GOP have proposed stricter work requirements as a way to do that. But the Obama administration sees better worker training as an alternative to cuts or stricter work requirements.
Vilsack said the grants will help USDA identify what works and what doesn't in terms of getting people to work.

ReplyDeleteSo then you try and put them to work, (which if you try too hard they will riot) and then you have the problem with child care. That in turn ends up costing tax payers because we will need a low income tax payer subsidized day care on every street corner.
The only solution is a spay/neuter program. If you receive any form of government assistance whatsoever you are spay/neutered until you can prove you are able to pay your own way.
Simple way to get them to work? Cut off the gravy train.
