Welfare Reform
* Re “County Needs Flexibility Pursuing Welfare Reform,” Nov. 23:
The Times’ editorial notes that the requirement to be in school or working 26 hours a week at the start of the county welfare reform program is a sensible response to welfare mothers trying to balance school and child care.
How about a simple solution? Let’s train and then pay the single recipients (usually moms) for child care. This flexibility would provide job training, work, income and self-respect, and solve the child care problem.
Real moms make the best mommies.
