She's got enough money to take a good amount of them. And she can keep her holier than thou attitude.

There would be less illegitimate children since women would not have Uncle Sam providing them money to raise them. That would be a dream come true but it will never happen as there are too many entitled people in this country.

Here's the problem with this and why practically all, if not all, government programs will run out of money.

• They take more than they pay in
• There are not enough actual tax payers to make up the difference

Remember a majority of tax payers are not tax payers. They get all their taxes back and some much more under EIC. illegals could get 32K back for never working or paying in a dime.

Medicare, Social Security, OsamaCare they are noting more than ponzie schemes.

Here's what we should be doing. If you get handouts you work. I admired Clinton for this same program. He didn't want to do it but he worked with congress.

States To Test Ways To Send Food Stamp Recipients To Work

We have a moral obligation to support those who can't support themselves because of severe mental or physical disabilities. However, the kid with his pants hanging down around his ass, playing basketball all day. The mother sitting on the couch watching tv and complaining about the stats of the nation, the guy who trades his food stamps for cash and heads to the liquor store? Nope. These folks need to forced to get out and work. The working class should not be forced to work hard to provide for their family and a family of lazy people. And don't give me the "not many people bleed the system" speech. There are plenty of people on the entitlement teet that can work. Take away their benefits and you'll see how fast they work or end in prison where they belong.

Here's what I did:

1. Live at home -> living on your own in an apartment is a waste of money
2. Make enough to invest 90%+ of your income like I do but not enough to lose financial aid.
3. Go to a LOCAL STATE COLLEGE. You'll save a fortune.
4. Tell everyone you're poor like a starving African orphan and tell everyone you can't afford things like dinner, movie tickets, or clothing. Don't try this with your significant other though.

PS: I say the last one while wearing golden rings and a golden watch. It feels great to say.

I did #2 and #3. I was actually #4 because I went to college and did #1 at the same time. Congratulations on smart thinking and taking action. It is worth setting aside today's wants for tomorrow.

The economy would implode. But with enough economic stimulus to push to full employment then it would be OK.
