And then an insurance program and then a gas program and then an oil change program and then a maintenance program and then a tire program and then a chauffer.

Don't be dissing Ford products now. They're the best!
I'll never buy a Chrysler or GM product ever again (and don't even get me started on European or Korean cars).

The last thing a person needs when they are in dire financial straits is a car. A car is a friggin money drain. Insurance, parking fees, repairs, registration fees, inspection fees, gas, oil changes, the list goes on and on. A car isn't an asset, it's a liability. It starts depreciating the second you drive it off the lot which is why people shouldn't buy cars on the installment plan.

The problem remains the system...money for doing nothing. For the very few on welfare who actually want off it and would prefer to work, I can see where not having a car, not living close to mass transportion (but where you live is a choice too), and maybe being offered a job when the buses aren't running could make it difficult to get back on your feet.
All the same giving them more handouts isn't going to help at all, most will take advantage of getting a free car and of course expect the taxpayers to pay for their gas, car repairs, insurance etc. Instead if someone needs a car to get started, maybe their could be a program that lends them one for 3 months.

you see--this is a perfect example of how parents, by what they do, leave a legacy... your parents would be very proud of their legacy... to leave your children, and children's children a legacy of welfare is shameful... but to leave a legacy of achievement, hardwork, appreciation--how rewarding... how powerful, even... how lovely...

What the heck are we subsidising the bus system for, then?
