I'm with Gugi and HNSB on this. Rick Scott made his money in health care (with controversy as Jimmy noted) so it wouldn't surprise me if there were ulterior motives on this decision. If we're going to monitor people that receive tax dollars then monitor all of them. Have fun testing those kids at public universities receiving financial aid!

You can have a job and be on WIC/EBT, and I find it hard to believe that you can't get help to go back to school. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that any public college or university would have some sort of financial aid available for working fathers regardless of what your schooling history was.

I do apologize for my tone. My goal was not to upset anyone. This subject enrages because I see it happening everyday. I even work with people who don't want the hours cause they will lose their wellfare. If you are willing and able to work then work. I've tried all kinds of funding and all I can get is $1,500 dollars a year. Again I apologize and never intended to be "that guy".
