They should never ever have been handed MONEY for anything. They should have been handed only vouchers for what WE deem is essential to the lives of their children and they should have to have 3 ID'S with pictures to cash in on them, even if WE have to supply the ID'S. FOOD and CLOTHING should have always been on the list and we should have delieved what was needed. Decent staples instead of the candy and garbage I see them buy with everyone else's hard earned money. TOO many times when you hand the money to the grand parents of drug addicts it goes right back to the drug addicts. TOO many time their parents are just enablers. THIS TOO WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. IF we don't watch them now and check that the CHILDREN are REALLY being taken care of, then THEY MORE OFTEN THEN NOT, STILL WILL GO WITHOUT. It is a very sad commentary that we even NEED this kind of help. Children have NEIGHBORS who see the needs, are working, and could do something. There is no excuse for children to do without in AMERICA! Our hand out system has always been horribly flawed. They should never

There is no excuse for children to do without in AMERICA!

So it sounds like this bill does nothing but Grand Standing “The bill has an exception for people who have gone through a drug treatment program, and would allow the appointment of someone else to receive benefits on behalf of the person’s children.”
