For me that would qualify people who have certain disabilities, mental and physical, women or men with small children or those who have lost jobs. Just to name a few. Note he says "benefits for those who really NEED them." This I do agree with.

Since I have three small children, I would qualify by your definition.  Perhaps you should modify your perception of what he is saying?

Not at all. Single people who have to care for tiny ones cannot work. That was the case with my mother for instance. Unless you are hiring people to look after the wee ones. If they are below kindergarten age those people should qualify. If you are hiring someone to look after the wee ones I have to say you are not really there for the kids physically.

Ah, so you think the government should only worry about single parents, thus encouraging single parenting.  I think that's terrible social policy, and it would be better to facilitate day care affordability for all parents, but I guess that's one of the red/blue divisions, that those on the red side think traditional families are also acceptable.
