Welfare recipients "stray animals"

Bear Claw Chris Lappe "Wouldn't the fact that he didn't STAY on them, and raise his children on them, imply he's less of a hypocrite, and more a person who knows what he is talking about?"

+1 Mr. Bear Claw He broke the cycle.

NO, it all means zilch until he proves he's an actual citizen. -2
 
One would assume the man that ate subsidized lunches as a kid did not have a choice. He was a kid and did as he was told, I would imagine that his family at least paid some taxes to offset those costs as opposed to the ungrateful expensive pets we have kept for decades.

I about got sick a few weeks back when on a show called street court where a judge actually goes on site to rule on cases was doing a show where a welfare for life woman was whining that because a deal fell through on a section 8 housing deal that she "had to" live in a place too small for her and her grand kids to live "proper"

"the closets aren't big enough" and he doesn't have enough room" "it ain't right" and the "yard is too small" whine whine etc

all I could think of is if ya don't like it get a job and EARN what ya want...
 
Here in California I see generations of welfare breeders. The more they breed, the more money they get. Usually it starts when they're teenagers. The male offspring grow up to cause crime, and the female offspring become welfare breeders themselves. The cycle never stops.

If you ask a welfare who the father is, and the response is usually "I don't know". DO NOT under any circumstances named a child "I Don't Know". The poor kid will find himself the father of thousands of kids on welfare.
 
I have the perfect solution to welfare. It involves jobs and free daycare for your 10 kids. It involves vacant land and a huge pile of cinder blocks. The job is (while your kids are being fed and cared for in a government regulated facility) to move the cinder blocks from point A to point B. After you're done and aks what's next you're told to move them from point B back to point A. After 2 days of this B.S they would rather work a "menial" job at a store or restaraunt paying the same for 1/2 the work.
.

My solution is similar. Put the young children of welfare recipients in a facility run by qualified supervisors, staffed by some of the welfare recipients. The other welfare recipients need to be out doing things like road cleaning, any of the other things that need to be done by the state that could be done by untrained welfare recipients.

On payday pass the wiz quiz.

That would weed out the people who really need help from the ones indescribable in this forum.
 
Regarding "subsidized lunches", in the 1950s and the start of the TV age, many TV channels had noontime kids' programs on TV. Larry Harmon, who took over and popularized "Bozo" (he did not create the character) got the idea of syndicating it so that when the kiddies came home for lunch they could watch a locally oriented program and see local
kids on the tube. Never did that myself-even when I lived within walking distance of the school I stayed at school to play with the other kids. Also I recall in my youth the practice now called "brown bagging"-your mother packed you a lunch, you took it to school, put it in your desk (and hoped another kid didn't steal it) until lunchtime. Or you brought your lunchbox
(and hoped your thermos liner didn't break-more than once I heard the dreaded sloshing sound of a shattered glass liner.), traded lunch with your pals, when your mother asked "How was lunch?" you said "Fine".
Hot meals were more of a wintertime thing and even back then they were part of the curriculum, teach the kiddies about proper nutrition.
Back then Breakfast was something you had at home and talked about school-nowadays it seems to be the other way around.
 
Easy answer.

Let's cut out welfare, WIC and school lunches cold turkey, and let the private sector benevolent organizations take over.

The feller went about it the wrong way...he should have showed how much taxes come out of a working individual's income to support the programs he doesn't like.

Liberals use concocted emotion and to make sheeple perceive reality. The only successful comeback is real hard and fast numbers that are pictured in what he can understand.

That there boy is on the right track, he just didn't have a game plan. No plan equals a plan to fail.

He isn't a salesman, is he?
 
If you feed "stray animals" you can count on them returning for a handout until you draw the line. There are so many entitlement programs how do you start? I was in Chicago Tuesday, and worked all day at a grocery store on the south side. In this neighborhood crime/drugs/entitlement prgrms. are the norm. Grocery stores in these areas are in the end of the month doldrums. No food stamps left. About 20 people were standing in the 2 check out lanes (9 lane store) that were open. A service guy working on the roof of the building knocked out the phone lines to the LINK (Illinois food stamps) system, and the Lottery machine. I noticed the store opened a 3rd lane for cash. No one used it. After about 2 hrs. the store started calling in LINK card numbers using cell phones. Some people had waited it out, standing in line the whole time, waiting for the food stamp line to get repaired.

If you brought this topic up 2 years ago on this forum you would have gotten either no or very PC responses. I'm hoping people are finally waking up.

Seems many in line with food stamps seem to have had money for thousands of dollars of tatoos.
 
The president said discretionary spending must be curtailed. This is supposedly the definition of such spending as it applies to our government.

DISCRETIONARY SPENDING refers to spending set by annual appropriation levels made by decision of Congress. This spending is optional, and in contrast to entitlement programs for which funding is mandatory.

I have to disagree with that. From what I've seen so far, this whole group is pretty straight up about their opinions. Which I think is a good thing. :)
 
Very Un- PC response

How about democracy for the fine residents of the United States. Less representative democracy and more direct democracy...try this on for size:

Pretty much everyone has access to a computer and the internet (go to a local public library - they are there, I swear). Come tax time you can choose what programs that you want to fund with YOUR tax dollars...you don't like-you don't pay...enough people are unhappy with the program and don't pay...the program dies...Not like it would ever happen, but think if it did...how would our Nation change?

Of course there need to be some things that are set...maybe National Defense (Stops at OUR borders) Foreign wars are optional...

You hold your vote in your tax dollars....what do you think?

I know a whole buncha stuff that I sure would never give a penny to (eg- Michelle O'Bama's personal staff - to the tune of over $1 Million in salaries alone)

...just a bit of FAR Right thinking...

If you brought this up two years ago this thread would be in flames. PC didn't flow to well here in the past. Opinions were to the bone. Just the way I like em.:)

Obama thinks he,s robin hood. Anybody read that about davy crockett and horatio bunce? Bunce rebuked crockett about voteing to give money that wasnt his to give. Mover Mike Davy Crockett and Public Money I heard obama say last night that he was going to have the goverment pay off a persons student loans if they got a job with the goverment! What a deal! So just how is the private business sector suppose to compete with that enticement?
And just who is the money comeing from to pay someone elses student loans? Probley people that couldnt afford to go to college themselves! I can understand indivigal people like obama and his fellow crooks. What I cant understand is how us as a population vote, belive his crap and let them continue!
I havent heard or else missed hearing limbough or hannity noticeing that part of his speech. I couldnt be the only one!
This is like haveing a devilish kid drive a bus off a cliff and all the passengers sitting there in a trance and letting him do it!
