What I know from first hand experience is that there are plenty of programs to feed people. I am for safety nets, not cradle to grave handouts. Do you do any work with the poor? Do you know any poor people? Have you been to their homes and know about their life? It would open your eyes if you did. Most of the time if kids aren't eating enough it isn't lack of access to food it is a lack of money priorities on the parents part, sometimes ignorance about how to properly care for a child. Throwing more money at the problem won't help. If they aren't using what they already have wisely, giving them more is no good. And I also do know enough low income families that manage to feed their children well, so those that say it can't be done are wrong.
Again, this is opinion. Got facts? Cold hard facts?
Who I know and any community work I have done is not relevant to this thread. You stated that there is no such thing as a "starving issue" in this country, I would like to read that information( as would others ) that you have found that tells us that this is non existent in this country and is manufactured by the media, people who just lie and say they are hungry when they truly
aren't and even those saps of politicans have lied about those hungry folks.
The poster is not planning ahead. She thinks her husband and her huge family (her words) will take care of her. She had planned nothing, she has taken no personal responsibility. She doesn't think her world will crash down.
Spare me your lecture. Go back and read the post.
Actually marrying a responsible, financially secure man was planning ahead. And being responsible enough to seek a career in something in demand (technology) rather than what I love was also being responsible and planning ahead.
It's too bad you don't love your job. As I once read, you should, b/c you're competing with people who do.
In most of human history the main factor that drove women is financial security. It's part of being responsible for forthcoming children that drives us to pick men who can take care of them. Not planning for children is something that gets people in the predicament of having to apply for foodstamps remember?
And I've never had trouble competing here. Very few people love their jobs here...but they love their paychecks and I certainly appreciate mine.
No, you are wrong..you have no point here. A child can not dictate to their parents what to do, what to buy and where to buy it. The child can not control that. You and I do not agree on this point, as their is no point.
They cannot that is true. So, you can give and give to parents and if they still won't support their children with the money how does it help to give them more?

What I have seen and experienced first hand is factual. I was there. You would rather post links to articles written by people that don't even research what they are writing.

I love both and also have a very successful husband. I'm just evil aren't I?
I'm not lucky. My family is Ghanaian and we tend to have large families and are very family oriented. There is no welfare in Ghana. Instead we have large families and associations run by the people themselves.
Now I'm in a country where people have incredible economic opportunities. The fact that Americans don't always take advantage of them has never stopped me. Many West Africans are here working two and three jobs to send money back home and they are making it and feel very blessed. The U.S. is a land of amazing financial opportunity and it is mind-boggling to me that a person who was born and raised here can't manage to do as well as an immigrant from a "third world" country. Leads me to believe that perhaps they just don't value the opportunities in front of them. If people don't have skills in demand they need to find a way to get them. End of story.
Agreed. Most of the people that were born here are lazy and too stupid to realize all the opportunities available for them. They complain and say there are no jobs but there are plenty of jobs out there that they feel are too above them to do. The problem with America is the liberals and their socialist policies that keep us from being competitive. Our president also holds his position illegally. He wasn't born here he was actually born in Kenya, but the liberals turn a blind eye to that fact too.

I know quite a few 'financially secure' people who are unemployed now.
