And to take the class, you still need to pay the rent, feed the kids, bus fare.
Still, why not encourage training for the unemployed? But if you don't pay 100% for it, the unemployed are in no position to take you up on it.

Self-motivation, training, a certain amount of luck - there are numerous factors to getting a good job. For some lazy slobs, it may be getting their welfare money reduced. But for others it may be getting a longer period of welfare and training so they can learn something new which allows them "to do what they love". I think it is not enough to talk about getting people into any kind of job, as if having a job, no matter what, is sufficient or necessary to justify their existence. We need to help people get into the right jobs, and those jobs need to be paid fair wages.
