Once they are in the system, it s a trap that is hard to get out of. They have very little incentive not to have more dependents. Let's see, they have a kid, and that kid costs X amount to live, the government gives them 1/2X in the form of food stamps and welfare..... So, just how is that working out? That assumes the people actually take care of the kids properly. A lot of these kids only get a decent meal in school. (breakfast and lunch). Dinner may be a bowl of Ramen because mom smoked up her EBT money Like most of these social programs, the results are based on euphoric fantasy too..... |

I don't know why you even bother to read the crap that Slammer, FlaJim, Herring, and the rest of the assholes drop here, let alone respond to it. As dumb as Donnie is he is a bit more broad minded and less bigoted than you. Hey, John, is this more of that "social behavior" you want here? Or is that just for those who don't agree with your politics and bigotry? One step at a time, sweet Kevin. Right now I'm trying for civil discourse between Don and I. After that, perhaps I'll make you the same offer. Are you man enough to accept? John H. -- Hope you're having a great day! |

The deal was $50 each for about 2 hour's work and I tossed them an extra $25 each because they did a good job. Wealth distribution at its finest. I'm soon going to distribute some wealth to get decent grass growing in my back yard. John H. -- Hope you're having a great day! |
