If only we had better sex education classes in school to better educate the youth, easier access to condoms and several types of birth controls, and better access to abortion clinics without strict government limitations in the country. Also, it would be even better if men were better educated with the risks of sex and the burden unwanted pregnancy has on society.
$17 billion divided among 2.2 million employees = $7,727.27 per full time employee per year or $3.71/hour per full time employee which can only be achieved if 1)we lay off all part time employees and 2)we completely screw over the stockholders not allowing the greedy capitalists any dividend whatsoever.
That would work really well for everyone, dontcha think?
And wouldn't you be the first in line to invest in a company that never made profits?
It's also not the government's responsibility to be the safety net for individuals.
Nobody is saying unskilled workers should be on government assistance. Unskilled workers should be payed what they are worth, and if they want more, they can become SKILLED.
Actually the government is by the people, for the people. So safety nets are created by us, for us.
They need to provide a living wage and not use the government teat to save their bottom line. Why am I paying for their employee's health care and food stamps?

Can you please point to that in our Constitution? I see equal opportunity, but no equal outcome. I see that the government's responsibility is to defend the country, but not support every person that's made decisions in their lives that keep them from taking advantage of the wonderful opportunity that this country provides.
Safety nets should be VOLUNTARY. When they are taken from some, and given to others, it is not a safety net. It's redistribution of wealth.

Pretty naive few in this day and age of special interests.
