(62,325 posts)at McDonalds, sometimes having to spend one to two hours getting to those jobs, leaving their children to fend for themselves. I remember such a case where the child of a poor mother who had to take a bus to her slavelabor wage job which took her two hours, brought a gun to school. She had to leave him to fend for himself because she had to get to that job in order to have some money to feed her family, the safety net gone due to this awful bill.
Sanders plan which he calls 'Family Values' actually provides for poor mothers to take care of their children. It doesn't focus on pushing them out the door to low wage, non productive jobs, leaving their children with no supervision or decent care.
That bill has contributed to even deeper poverty for single moms and their children and it absolutely needs to be rescinded. One of the biggest failures, but then it is a Republican bill so should we be surprised, of the poor and how anyone could not have seen that from the beginning, (they did, most of the Clinton's close associates in the WH at the time, Pete Edelman eg did see it, he resigned in protest when Clinton signed it) is beyond me.
It did provide cheap labor for Corps though.
