The only thing that bothers me is that you basically have to hit rock bottom to get into TAGOS. It's not being used as an intervention for kids- and it's a great program.

Let's try out an analogy. Let's pretend I hire you to be my butler. We agree that I will pay you $20 an hour - but I'll pay your electric bill.

Works for me! You bet I'm going to over estimate!
