A Noyd, I think you may have confused me with someone else. I never used the word complainer. The program as written excludes those already working, as well as those caring for children or disabled at home. I have worked
with folks in this population and it's my opinion that their often self imposed isolation is one of their biggest obstacles. It leads to depression, physical inactivity and worse. You should also know that education is an alternate to the work requirement.

You said many people were complaining. You need to listen to those people—the "complainers."
Your opinions, however well-meant, sound like they come from a very privileged place. Poverty is a terribly complex issue (with multiple, intersecting populations) and if you want to really help people at the policy level, you have to know more of the intricacies and realities of what they deal with. You have to let THEM tell you what they need, what works and what doesn't work.
