So, if you read, there is also an option for community service (like painting the buildings supplied for you or subsidized for you at taxpayer expense). That would, at least, provide a value to you and the property. This, I guess by the Maine caseworkers, is not good enough or too tough? I would like to see some pilots run that allow men, who impregnate women, to actually marry or be together and receive benefits, thereby actually encouaging , to a larger degree, family formation, and the requirements learn a skilled trade, go to community college, or work. We would, for a generation or two, have to subsidize child care ( which is done now), and provide mentoring programs through civic and religious volunteers, to provide life skills like budgeting, planning, relationship, and other crtical skills. This would be an improvement over the current "keep you in poverty" designed programs the FEDS have designed. They are designed to keep you dependent not free you from it.
