Here's my beef. Before Johnson folks relied on themselves and families to get out of their personal situations. Now they rely on the government, and the same logic being used to justify pell grants can be used to justify a whole host of liberal social programs. the end result is the welfare state, and we've seen how disasterous 40 years of welfare programs have been. What we need is a return to self reliance.

Surprise, I agree with you, but sometimes people are thrown in positions that they never expected. But just remember she is now teaching her children how not to be on welfare, or getting paid education. So far two of her kids are going into college on their own. Go grades got them help and working a job will take care of the rest. The other 2 our still in high school with good grades. Its not 40 years of social services its over 60 years it started with Roosevelt.
I have been writing my Congressmen and Senators on this subject, but I am from the state of WA, and you can guess how far I am getting. We need to change policies, but when you are talking to someone like Patty Murray or McDermott, your talking to "THE" socialist top people.
