I'm not sure why you would find it offensive, given that he's talking specifically about sending unemployed TANF recipients to work (whether or not they're female or parents is essentially incidental) as a means to achieve self-sufficiency. I can, however, see how taxpayers would find it offensive if their tax dollars were used to subsidized adults who make no attempt to achieve self-sufficiency.
The argument isn't over the value of in-home parenting, it's over taxpayer subsidization, and yes, the dignity of self-sufficiency over dependency. All the world-class in-home parenting in the world won't get a family off welfare; education, training, and hard work, will.
