Economy question for Gov. Romney
As a resident of Ma. I have a question for Gov. Romney. In 1988 I was a welfare mother with 2 dependent children on AFDC. Under Gov. Dukakis' welfare to work I was able to attend a vocation nursing program and became a LPN. My first year I earned 28,000.00 dollars and was able to support myself and my sons.
Under Gov. Romney , the only education available to welfare mothers was a 6 weeks course to become a certified nurses aide. A back breaking minimum wage job which left these women still in the FPG. There children still needing health insurance, free lunch, food stamps and day care . I'd like to know how this helps woman in poverty to become self-sufficient tax paying citizens.
Also, during his tenure it was in the press that his Asst. Leut.Gov was using private jet to take her twins to day care. (Tax payer money!! ) I'd like to know what has changed in his policies? And if this was all he could offer welfare mothers in the state of Mass. what does he plan on doing at the federal level? Please ask Candy.
