As long as this is privately funded,,I have no complaint, but in reality is the charity receiving money from the Govt to perform charity?

Don't know. The article only said private money was being used for the program. For all I know, Mayor Bloomberg may be fronting his personal money for the program. Seven million would be pocket change for him.

The demographics are killing us. More kids born to single parents..fewer parents with education and skills raising kids. More people with the knowledge and motivation to get money for nothing.

Same problem in the US. We have no more than 10 years to do something substantive about it.

The only cure may be a generation of real poverty...a real depression. Looks like that is coming again in the UK.

If we're lucky.

Currently these are privately-funded pilot plans, but I read in an earlier NYT article that the goal is to expand the programs that “work” using tax money.
