That's what I was thinking of, and it's another thing addressed
in my state's reforms, they will have no trouble finding day care
help ... all those welfare recipients looking for work, how about
a job at a state run day care facility as a day care worker?

Talk about a built in work force, that would employ a few people.

One thing not mentioned, if you don't have dependents, it's not
easy to get benefits. If you can, I don't know. You lose your
job, you're SOL. I imagine that varies by state, too.
