#1 "flawed welfare system" is a tautology.

Paying people to fail is never a help.

#2 It doesn't help that they are chasing businesses (that supply the low skill or blue collar jobs) out of the State.

#3 And how many blue-collar (not to mention Agriculture) jobs in California are being taken by Illegal Aliens again?

#4 My state pays for education during the five years of assistance, giving a hand-up so they can be self-supporting. I know a single mom that had the aptitude to be a physician's assistant but I know not all do and we have an abundance of salon stylists and massage therapists. Contrast California that not only courts the cheap labor, they give illegals in-state tuition. CA also has the largest homeless population, usually drug addicted and impaired. That Arnie asked the federal taxpayers to bail them out just infuriates me.

#5 Salon stylists and massage therapists, even if not in paid employment, can save their families pots of money and make the employed members happier and more effective. My darling mother-in-law worked briefly as a stylist before marriage, and her children and grandchildren never paid for haircuts until they moved out of town.
