Scott,

Good concept...hard to implement. Even in Florida they are suggesting that "family members" can get the stipend for the children if the recipient tests positive. So now you have baby gandmas getting the check instead of the mommas and the money goes to the same place...

Nothing galls me more than to see abuse of the system. I agree wholeheartedly with you. I just know from experience that it is difficult to make work. One way to change that is to open government run daycare and transportation. Use the employees about to be laid off and have them pick up at specific sites. The kids can be watched by government folks who provide lunches. The total cost can be deducted from teh welfare. Just a thought...
