Lotsa overlap in the department that mainly helps children and the department that mainly helps people who have jobs. Is someone looking at those nimble little fingers and imagining them sewing pieces in a clothing line?
I'm sick of all the handouts. I think that no one should be eligible for a student loan if they don't have a full time job. How the are these people ever going to learn to stand on their own two feet if we keep loaning then $75,000 at 6.8% with no strings attached?
I hope my sarcasm was evident. I was more commenting on how conservatives have a theory that people who need assistance of any kind should have to work to get it. They've been trying it for years. Here is MI, which is a state that is getting stupider by the year, they recently put in a welfare work requirement that specifically exempts people from rural areas (not sure why a bunch of conservatives would make a work requirement for urban but not rural poor people--real head scratcher). Combining of Labor and Education seems like a step toward fulfilling work requirements for everything.
