RC> What is it like to be on welfare and what does it do for your   
    RC> self-esteem?   
      
    BA> Apparently it beats working for a living...   
      
   not everyone without a job is on welfare but they can still find ways to   
   provide for their needs... this does not mean that they do not "work" for   
   their "living"... contrary to what the gov't believes...    
      
   in the same breath, do not believe those stats about X% are unemployed because   
   they are always short... i've been unemployed numerous times for several years   
   in some cases and have never gone down and been added to the statistics so i   
   know for a fact that they are always at least one entity short... welfare   
   helps those who are willing to go that route but there are many others who do   
   not and will not "go there" for their own reasons...
