WHERE IS THE INCENTIVE TO WORK?

[Duchess]

I am not a heartless person & I do have compassion for those that are hurtin'. I felt the need to preface that.

I just read the following story & this is something we have discussed before. I cannot reiterate enough that when you give people things there is no reason for them to strive for more.

A controversial program offering low cost cell phone service for homeless people may be headed to the Golden State.

"This is great--it is transformative for homeless and low-income people," San Francisco's "homeless czar" Bevan Dufty told the San Francisco Chronicle, noting that the phones could help the city's homeless call into the 311 information line that provides information about available shelter beds. "Fundamentally, to be in the mainstream of our society you have to have a phone...We really need this plan."
