Last time I checked (right before the County laid me off) the biggest individual chunk or Erie County's budget went to Social Services.Originally Posted by 4music
That could me one or both of two things:
1.) Erie County spends too much money on Social Services
2.) Erie County has a higher concenration of people who need Social Services...
Either way, something is wrong.
But I think that it could be a bit of both. But maybe our BAD ECONOMY is what is making more people need Social Services... I still say the problem goes back to lack of jobs.
If people were busy working they would stay out of trouble and have more money. And they need to work for places that provide health insurance and give them more money than what a government handout would give.
But to do that, people need places to work.
