re: Moms on welfare

Looks like Congress has a deadline or FS benefits could have cuts made.

Quoting Supafly★:" After a certain amount of time on welfare you HAVE to get a job if you're not disabled. Yeah, some women ... [snip!] ... afford but the fact that they are living in sub-level standards and subjecting their kids to that is strictly their problem. "

Ya but most the time it becomes everyones problem

Because people can't mind their own business

Not necessarily. The people who have problem with FS and feeding hungry kids are usually bitter, close-minded and ignorant to how the government actually works. If there were no food stamps or Medicaid, the rich would be richer and the poor would be poorer. That's a problem.

Quoting Susan Schultz:" My first question is if you are on any type of assistance why are you having more kids! I know I can't ... [snip!] ... NOT "entitled" to them......I wish they would cut welfare off it's amazing how people would feed their families if they HAD to."

Wow you sound incredibly jealous and bitter. Did they tell you that you make too much for food stamps or something?

Let me explain what I meant. Women who keep having children in sub-standard surrondings usually do not teach their children respect, good ethics morals etc. NOT ALL! These chidlren grow up in surroundings that alot of times the are forced into becoming a criminal. Yes I know it happens with rich people to. God help us all when Kim and Kenyas child gets older

I know what you're getting at.... but I think you're way over-stereotyping. Plenty of people without much instill good manners and morals into their children. Not all. But then again... plenty of rich people don't teach their own children good manners, respect, etc.



And haha to Kenya.

I think it is very stupid to keep popping out kids you can not provide a decent lifestyle for, but not my life or kids,. Known a few like that,. if they are happy then cool doesn't bother me any just dont come crying to me that you dont have smurf.

(I am very pro-assistance for needy families, not anti-welfare in the slightest, just dont think it is smart or fair to the kids in the long run,.

She's very bitter. Any kind of assistance thread, she's all over it like fly on smurf.

Quoting kthx.:" She's very bitter. Any kind of assistance thread, she's all over it like fly on smurf. "

I've noticed. Her and a couple of others are like that.

Maybe if they'd cut back on the unnecessary items they could get those luxuries they want, like those mean ol' people on food stamps who don't make as much as she does.

i know in NYC you have to work for it

My kids don't even know we get FS. It's supplemental food assistance. I do still pay out of pocket for food towards the end of the month because I tend to require a more specialized diet.

Oh I agree..I guess it;s to explain in writing lol..I guess what I am getting at is when parents feel they are "entitled" or have the "right" to have children without thinking of their children and they don't raise them with respect etc..they become everyones problem..crime etc..for example. Having a child for more money..if thats the only reason why they are having more kids then obviously there is going to be issues, then it affects many others..

I don't think it's that smart of a decision but I honestly am not bothered by those that do it. It's not my business. The only welfare I receive and have ever received is FS and medicaid. Our FS has decreased a lot since we have had it and it's too the point where it helps out some but I am still buying groceries out of pocket which is not a problem for me. Since being on welfare though I have found it very hard and stressful and most definitely not a lifestyle I want to grow accustomed too. I am very proud of myself for where I am today and am hoping to wean myself off so I can eventually have 1 more before I am no longer able.

I think it's disgusting. I see it alot where a parent will come in will be what's called "timed out" (aka, they've received 48 months of cash aid for themselves) and have had their 5th child by the 4th father. It's like "way to promote the stereotype, jackass".
