RFK Critical of Welfare?


Good to hear that RFK was critical of welfare, saying how it demeans the spirit.  But on jobs, he sounded a bit weak, saying in one interview that people needs jobs instead of welfare but not dead-end jobs.  But dead-end jobs people can still pick up skills, figure out how to service customers, adopt some social skills that you never could while you were in school.  The irony here is that he sounds like he opposes his brother, Ted Kennedy, co-author of the 1965 Immigration Act that opened the flood gates from South and Latin America.  If he's opposing welfare, he must oppose immigration welfare. And he's clearly opposing LBJ's Great Society too with his criticism of welfare.  Interesting.
