Wall Street protesters: We're in for the long haul

[crazy canuck]

Welfare cannot create such opportunities.

But a badly designed welfare system can remove opportunities.

Take the claw back provisions.  It used to be in this province that if a welfare recipient earned any income they would lose their welfare benefits.  This was clearly silly and resulted in large welfare rolls.  The system is still far from perfect but at least allows for the possibility that people can gain some work experience and not lose their benefits entirely.

Provide this rhetorical single mother on welfare with access to education so she can learn the skills to get a decent job and provide cheap and adequate child care while she's in school and working and voila! Instead of being in a welfare trap she will be stuck with a crushing student loan burden she can't pay off while still not having a decent job

Fixed.

Like a negative income tax.

No.

I think it'd be better not to crush her with student debt, but I guess opinions differ.

Is this going to be another attempt to ignore normal usage of words - like calling all sparkling wines Champagne.

It's all champagne, unless you hang with wine snobs.

Are you going to try to pretend not to have pretensions again?

I have never eaten an inorganic pork chop.  "Organic" is a meaningless buzzword.

You can try, but we all know the truth.

I would like some sparkling pork please.

CC will tell you that sparkling pork is any pork from outside of France.

Indeed we do.
