Thanks for giving the name of the shot my memory is not so good. It seems fair and a good solution I wonder if any of our so called leaders have thought of the idea or introduced legislation.

Your original post was zero substance.

You're complaining about the results of the nanny state... and saying that the cure is more of it.

Instead of crying, moaning and bellyaching, which seems to be your shtick; besides the ones I eliminated on the first page, what is your suggestion?

The second year Medicaid is cut to emergency only and ends before starting 3rd year.

As far as woman the gvt covers one child and she agrees to take the shot[ can't think of name] so she does not birth another child. I think the shot last 6 months and if the woman does not show up for scheduled follow shot/shots her benifits end. That solves the problem of birthing children and having the gvt paying for it. If the woman does not like the terms she is on her own and just maybe her family will help her.
Does the depo shot permanently damage the woman in some way? Are the effects temporary and can she resume oogensis after ceasing the administration of the drug? If no and yes, then I am also in favor of it. That is a lot better than saying become your own contractor or the nanny state is the problem

I think Social Security SSI should be reformed.
I see so many people that don't need it who get it.

I think that is a worse,and more widespread problem than Welfare.

I say sterilize the men.

Those single men living in Mommy's basement more than likely have 2 kids out there somewhere. Lots of homeless men do have kids or abandoned their families.

Maybe it would be cheaper if the goverment offered everyone a free college education in exchange for having no kids up until 22 years of age?

Sterilizing is permanent, depo isn't. Did you get your androgyny off your chest? Good, let's continue.

Do you have proof of this? I have a feeling I should file this claim under myths and stereotypes, along with the welfare queen.

Wouldn't work. First, are you going to mandate only certain fields are eligible? Second, what are you going to do with the huge glut of oversupply in these fields? That will increase unemployment in those fields, and drive wages/salaries
down

Did you read the first page? Or did you just read the headline and decided to post?

I can support that, if a man living in mommy"s basement collecting food stamps and Medicaid and has more then one child supported by the gvt he has one year to get a vesectomy or lose all benifits. Snip em Nurse Ratchet
