We have to instill in these women the knowledge that being dependent on the government for everything deprives them of their freedom.  We should encourage them to do whatever they need to do to improve their situation, whether it be completing their education or getting a good job with a chance for a better future.  When they discover what they can achieve, their improved confidence and self-esteem will encourage them to become more independent and self-sufficient and become good role models for their children.  This cycle of dependence must be broken, as America depends on its citizens to be contributing members to society, and not a burden.
