The bill would create 4,000 real jobs with education and training. . Speaking for myself and all the people on welfare program, we want to work and earn our way. You can t live off welfare, you can t raise a family. You want to put your card in the machine and have some money. Let us pay our taxes and feel good about ourselves.
Nobody wants to be on welfare.
They are hands-on workers. They know how to do a lot of things, and the Empire State Jobs Program will give these workers a job and give them training. The city is not helping people, because they are not putting that money in the right place. The welfare savings should not go to the Work Experience Program. I know we have to make our own way sometimes but welfare is why we have a government.
