I have a solution for the very low income that choose to have children and receives welfare and food stamps. Problem is, I doubt any policy close to what I am about to write will pass, in large part because of the "entitlement" mentality. Here it goes:
*After a womans 2nd child if she agrees to be fixed so she won't have more kids, she will receive $10,000 and she will receive aid for her 2 children through the age of 18. Maybe even monetary support for their kids to attend college. Hopefully by then, the mom, or parents if dad is around are in much better financial situation to not depend on govt assistance.
*If she chooses to not get fixed, she is on her own for her 3rd child, and maybe even for the 1st 2 as well. Maybe Even have gov. taking over and intervening and having custody taken away. Yes, it may sound cruel. You know what is worse. Those kids living in poverty with that mentality and passing it down to the next generation.
* I may add that some type of parenting education be given to these parents. Just look at the video, these parents are "DEMANDING" their assistance instead of being grateful that they do have assistance.
Believe me, giving a needy mother $10,000 after having 2 kids will save much more money in the long then if she decides to have another 2-4 kids.
My idea is stricter, for the woman to receive increased beni's after the first child she must to agree to have her tubes tied or she is on her own.
And these people don't vote for conservatives, do they? They vote for the party that created this mess - democrats. And that's why any sane person will not vote for leftists.
The food stamp program was an immense help to me and my 13 y/o daughter when I was finishing college. I first applied during my first semester as a full-time student with my daughter who was 12 at the time. I was denied b/c I was only working 18 hours a week rather than the required 20 hours. (it was a waitress job that worked around my class schedule.) The time period was right after President Clinton reformed the welfare and food stamp program.
There was a time when I was in college, as a single mother of a middle-school aged child where we had no food. When I say no food I mean not any food of any kind. There were no food banks; no do-good churches or any organization in that small college town that helped with food. A neighbor gave us some macaroni, but she too, was a single mother in college full-time. She received food stamps.
It was the Cherokee Nation that helped us. The tribe has a commodity food program and we were able to use that program. Later, when I began working more hours, I was able to receive food stamps for six months. I had less need at the time than when I first applied, but the need was still there.
I think some of you people are way too critical and don't contemplate a situation beyond your own erroneous perceptions. It's called being very small minded.
I finished college, btw, and it has paid off immensely.

"if you rob Peter to pay Paul and David, Paul and David will vote for you every time."

Maybe some of those people should have thought twice (or six times in that one ladies case) before bringing children into a world where they had no means to support them.
Maybe she could have sold her gold earrings for some money.
