I worked at the unemployment office as a veteran's career counselor and job search trainer for people on AFDC(welfare) for 13 years. If Joe was on welfare, he's one of the few married males I've ever heard of receiving it. My classes were full of females of different ethnic persuasions, but I don't remember any men. Oh, the classes were mandatory for ALL recipients.

I agree with you, they usually put the guy (if single) to work, however, if he has a family I think they can put the whole family on welfare.....there are many articles (just Google Joe the plummer AND taxes) about his back taxes, the lien on his property, the fact he never was a licensed plummer, and never got a journeymens license to practice under someone else....as I said before, not a good example. I am a Viet Nam Era Vet and we had a lot of agencies to help us find work once we returned from active duty, dont know about good ole JOe tho.
