There were no comparable models to follow, and success depended on state money coming through. It didn't. Welfare reform had started in the meantime, sending mothers of the targeted kids into the work force.

So they spent $34 million or $50,000 per kid and the program flopped because taxpayers weren't gouged more and welfare mothers had to go to work? Good grief.

"State-of-the-art" electronics from 1995 is NOW archaic, irrelevant junk. Heheheh.
