This is just from a half a day of denied EBT. Just wait until food stamp budgets go dry for days on end, or even indefinitely.

Unexpected. When the benefits are taken away because of lack of funding there will be notice. I suggest those in that situation look to family for support

A great example how the entitlement group is holding us hostage.

that is a very good question.

they should never increase food stamps when women choose to have more children.

you don't get a raise in the private sector just because you had another child.

either you make adjustments in your budget, or you don't have more children.

perhaps these people would understand that there are consequences to having more children than you can afford, and become more responsible at making decisions.

the public sector is never willing to do the things that the private sector is forced to.

I suggest "doing the jobs Americans won't do" to feed your families.

And the one lady acted like her case was special because she chose to have 6 kids. I would guess in her case there are 6 dads that could help out.

Remove welfare as the job openings start to increase after abolishing the minimum wage and the corporate tax.

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.

I think $1,000 would be more than enough. But something needs to be done with these government breeders. They're not having children because they can provide anything for them, they have them because they expect to never have to work for a living, never have to do anything. The children are nothing more than a ticket to a life-long free ride.
