[QUOTE="klmno, post: 462952, member: 3699"] Yes, they are better off in the sense of how much assistance they get (the costt of the assistance) on top of a part-time min wage job, for instance, and child care covered by the government/dss. This is why so many people think some people don't ever try to get off welfare. on the other hand, I seriously doubt many who didn't grow up in families where this is all they know would perfer it - I don't buy that most people wouldn't rather have a better job, support their family, and get their kids in a better neighborhood. Our economy has just taken such a hit for so long and so many are trying to just survive. If this isn't a depression, I'd sure like to know what the definition of "depression" is and how far away we've been from that defining line the last couple of years. You can't tell people in the building industry that this isn't a depression. [/QUOTE]
