Proud? Not exactly. Working my ass off to get back to work. And at least I'm not afraid to admit that I've hit a bump in the road.
Yeah early in the morning having your ass sitting on the forum. Just don't get overworked. Meanwhile enjoy my liberal dollars saving your conservative butt.
And you can take your liberal dollars and shove them right up there besides your head. I may be conservative, but I am not opposed to Welfare or providing for the needy in this country by any stretch of the imagination. Never have been.
I do, however, believe that Welfare should be modified to actually help those in need by training the needy for jobs and providing day care services for single parents who are in the system and looking for work or have just recently found jobs. One of the tough things for a single mother who is on welfare is to take a job and then have to pay daycare expenses. It is actually one of the prohibitive reasons that keep mothers from going to work and getting off of welfare.

The Welfare to Work program still provides many training and retraining programs, and many others have been added. Any state welfare office should be privy to these, as well as assistance in child care needed to place a person into a job. There are also state run job training programs.
