Political Quotes

“I understand there may be such cases that you mention. But I think the broader point is whether, when we have people who have violated their responsibilities to their children, we should now create a separate Government program to train them for jobs or create jobs for them. I understand there may be circumstances where people, well-meaning, could not pay their child support. But at the same time, you want to set up a program because they have done that, apart from someone else who may be paying their child support and working two and three jobs to make sure they keep up. We do not help them at all, or train them, or do anything for them. That is a bad precedent. We should not be providing this kind of money for people who are shirking the responsibilities of their children.”
