Wait, welfare inspires pregnancy?? Are you serious? Do you think that people have kids just to get a stipend that is way below poverty level?? Does everyone on welfare do that? |

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..... |
