That stuff, training programs, exist up the wazoo now, don't need to wait for you to be Queen. Do you honestly think they don't?

I can't tell you how many "cooking for food stamp recipient" programs exist around here, just to name one area of life skills.

I tire of the meme that this society doesn't fund programs for the poor. We throw tons of money at it. We take on programs recommended by the social workers. That they aren't effective to eliminate poverty isn't my fault.

The poor will always be among us.
