First, of coarse you have to cater to the children but...you said ''public projects'' which
means tax payer dollars. Private organizations, philanthropy...would be a more
pragmatic solution. Also education plays a huge roll here. We have to do something
about these people that are irresponsibly having unwanted kids. I hope I understood
your question correctly Bill.

The Sound of Music was one of the pieces that the Piano Teacher Eddie Oyer taught all four of my sons when they were little. An hour of practicing the piano x4 made for an awful lot of piano plinking for parents to have to listen to each day. Today Son #1 noticed that Eddie Oyer's obituary was in the newspaper. He was 84. Such a great person he was for teaching children, not only piano but any kind of instrument they wanted to learn, plus dancing. He even gave us a really big discount because we had four he was teaching.

I'm sorry...I'm not clear as to the question...would they be doing the public work projects or benefitting from the projects being done for them? I think public work projects would be an excellent thing for folks on welfare to be doing to regain their sense of purpose and contribution and that some of the monies saved would be of great benefit to help fund benefits for underpriviledged and orphaned children - unlike the public work programs of generations back (I had family members on both sides who participated to stay fed) I would not support children working in them....but I think it is beneficial to put people who have not been able to find work after, say 6 months or so and are drawing unemployment and are capable or working, to work on some of the many projects we have in this country that need attention from when they were originally built by public works projects generations back....all work is honorable....and helping children is win-win. Sorry if I'm so dense I misunderstood the question because the other two seemed to grasp it quite easily.

Absoloutely, yes. What ends up being the problem is mismanagement, not the cause.
