The problem is that there are not enough resources to take care of people with severe handicaps, or old age or other circumstances to have our youngest and healthiest people of working age not working. It takes money away from those unable to work and there is apparently not enough lmoney to go around. That is a problem. For every teenager with children that the state has to support, there is that much less money to take care of people with unmet health needs, shelter etc. If we were smarter we would find ways to have the young mothers work in agencies that helped the elderly and handicapped in exchange for some of their support, but we haven't figured that out yet. I am totally for supporting people who need it, but I am also for it being a two-way street, with those who are able to contributing back in various ways. mg
