There is a HUGE difference between having all of these resources out floating on the Interwebs for people who are motivated enough to find them, and making benefits contingent on taking education in these areas and on living within certain boundaries. (Naturally, I'm talking about benefits for the poor primarily.)

One of our most successful local organizations offers single moms terrific benefits in schooling, jobseeking assistance, etc. --- all contingent on things like agreeing to be trained in home/life economy, not moving in a baby-daddy, staying employed, etc.

That's what I'm talking about, and it rankles my lefty-liberal friends that I'm in favor of restrictions like that. If those kinds of stringent requirements already exist in federal programs, I'd like to know about it. Then I can stop trying for that tiara
