The Kollel is really taxing on economy.
For example Ive heard many yeshivas give tuition breaks to Kollel familes making working families pay full price.
But How many working families just cannot pay the full amount, even if you work, it doesnt mean you are rich.
How many other poor people (because of illness, age, accidents) are shortchanged because money is diverted to kollel families.
But anytime you try to discuss the issue you are accused of Motzei shem rav or trying to stop learning.
What if the US government really investigates kollel fasmilies and decides that since the father is capable of working, they will cut benefits
Until those in charge are willing to see a problem, there will not be a solution
