Government wants to give you $1000 dollars to tie your tubes ladies (kids, considered)

[fnord]

LaBruzzo said he worries that people receiving government aid such as food stamps and publicly subsidized housing are reproducing at a faster rate than more affluent, better-educated people who presumably pay more tax revenue to the government.

Have they considered the crazy notion of ENDING WELFARE?

No free handouts = reduced desire to breed

[fishmonger]

Probably more likely an increased desire/need to steal

I like it! As long as it is voluntary, why not?
This program would easily pay for itself, IMO.

Sounds like a good idea to me. If someone is dumb enough to do that for $1000 they don't need kids anyway.

I'm a guy and don't have those type of tubes, do you think I could get $500 for tying my water hose in a knot?

I have to say that I know a few people in the same category.

How long before the equal rights demand for $1000 vasectomies?

Been there done that, I want mine retroactive.

Can we give them an IQ test and up that figure to $10K if they score below 100?

Now that's our tax dollars at work.

And yes, open it up to vasectomies too.
