What about a young parent (Mother or Father) that lost a good paying job and has 2 or 3 kids (too young for school), and now they have to pay for daycare which would most likely be way more than they would earn at minimum wage (especially for 3 children). I believe (just an opinion) why they don't force some to work. If the person is single (as in NO kids) and able bodies, I believe they should work. OR --- Force them to work AND provide daycare. Which again, running day care centers for all children involved may outweigh just paying the parent the "welfare".
