I am good with that. We should just start having "poor farms" again. If folks can't support themselves, they can check into a poor house, get a roof over their head, food to eat. No more rent and section 8. no more food stamps. Just institutionalize everything. No more sending jobs over to India, to manage EBT cards...as if that is not a complete irony in and of itself...
I think it is so wrong when they send those jobs over to India because if we had those jobs here many of those who truly need assistance would be happy to take those jobs.
As a person raised under a single mother, for the first eight years of my life, in backwoods Russia no less, I don't think single women are support, and they should indeed have support.
I am all for supporting children.
The welfare system here is messed up because these single moms often keep having babies out of wedlock and the sperm donors refuse to take responsibility. This means as a society we have to and it's not fair.
It's not about hate. Take your ideological blinders off and OPEN YOUR EYES!!!
It's about the absolute truth of mathematical unsustainability. Financially supporting an exponentially growing welfare-dependent class is mathematically unsustainable. They WILL eventually eclipse our country's ability to pay to support them.
What's your plan for that? You still haven't answered that question.
Lol, so you don't think it is financially sustainable to offer corporate loopholes, subsidizing employer provided health insurance, subsidizing homeownership, subsidizing state sales and payroll taxes, etc and so on.
No those things are great. It's subsidizing the healthcare for the poor elderly disabled, and children that is the problem for conservatives.
Again for conservatives poor people ARE the problem. It is who they hate. It is who they want the government to punish.

Well, I don't know much about the reproductive culture of Americans, but I was an only child for 12 years, despite having a mere 16 years between my birth and my mother's.

Thank you for proving my point.
As a disabled person who volunteers for the disabled, I think people in general neglect us disabled people...
If we stop all welfare programs, where is the lady, who has the BMW in the parking lot and a wad full of cash, going to do for food, without food stamps?

Hmm...
...What year is the BMW?
As for food...
...Remember the time when we had community gardens and such to help with the war effort?
Guess the economy is hitting us all, including the wealthy...
