Supe, no amount of money or govt sponsored program is going to significantly change the attitudes of many of todays "downtrodden". The lack of morals and ethics that has taken over a majority of handout recipients, is not something that can be easily reversed. Schools nowadays cannot punish kids or demand any kind of respect out of kids. Todays inner city youth have been brought up to expect the govt. to take care of them and they have no role models at home to look up to.

IMO, the only way to break the cycle is to reduce handouts to the point that adults HAVE to work if they want to eat and if having more kids creates more hardship (instead of more money), people might, over time, learn to think twice about having 3 kids by the time they are 19. Once a couple generations start seeing their parents work, maybe the cycle will begin to break.

Like I said, there is no easy quick fix, but I firmly believe that in these times, welfare is just making the situation progressively get worse. You cant just cut these people off, but someone needs to figure out a way to start weaning people off of handouts or it will only get worse.
