It depends on the circumstances.

I used to be over the employment/education aspect of the Indiana's welfare-to-work program in my county.

I have zero problem with subsidizing daycare when the parent is either

(a) low income or welfare recipient attending school and producing proof of both attendance and grades

or

(b) coming off welfare to employment where not having the daycare subsidized means that they actually lose financially.

or

(c) a welfare/unemployed recipient who is actively seeking employment, with that effort documented.

Not to get into an argument about life choices, because obviously, the people I worked with hadn't made some of the best choices. Hell, I haven't made some of the best life choices.

But once those choices are made, if a person is trying to help their selves and better their lot, then I do believe in helping them.

I will add that a good 85% of the people I dealt with were female single parents, and a large percentage of them were not receiving child support.

I'm pretty conservative fiscally, but there is a reason to invest in people who are trying.

To me, it is the difference between a hand out and a helping hand up.
