How to put welfare recipients to work

USA Today (Society for the Advancement of Education), March, 1995 by Michael Leavitt

The future of this nation depends on its children--the small, faceless victims with no heroes and no one to speak for them. They must be given a future by helping their parents escape poverty.

The only way out of poverty for the nation's single-parent families is through employment and child support. It is more cost-effective to spend the money on the front end assisting people, like Lori Sather, off welfare than at the back end taking care of children and dysfunctional families caused by a system that subsidizes poverty.
