WRITTEN BY A 21 YEAR OLD FEMALE

Wow, this girl has a great plan! Love the last thing she would do the best.

This was written by a 21 yr old female who gets it. It's her future she's worried about and this is how she feels about the social welfare big government state that she's being forced to live in! These solutions are just common sense in her opinion.

PUT ME IN CHARGE . . .

Put me in charge of food stamps. I'd get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho's, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.

Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I'd do is to get women Norplant birth control implants or tubal ligations. Then, we'll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine. If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, or smoke, then get a job.

Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks? You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your home" will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried.want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your own place.

In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a "government" job. It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you. We will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the "common good.."

Before you write that I've violated someone's rights, realize that all of the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules. Before you say that this would be "demeaning" and ruin their "self esteem," consider that it wasn't that long ago that taking someone else's money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem.

If we are expected to pay for other people's mistakes we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.

AND While you are on Gov't subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes, that is correct. For you to vote would be a conflict of interest. You will voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a Gov't welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job.

Oh...and NO IDEA if it is true or not....I didn't look.

The content is pretty much exactly how I feel and believe.

Remember years ago when there were poor farms? Kind of the same idea, but I guess we got rid of them.

I also remember when I was growing up people always preferred to not take any hand outs as a matter of pride. Yes there are always some people that do need a helping hand on occasions. Anyone can find themselves in a situation where they might need assistance, but it shouldn't be a way of life.

I wonder how many votes a person would get it they ran on a platform with those positions? Of course they would be endlessly attacked from many sides, but I wonder just how many people would respond to it.

Sadly though the big problem with out countries budget is SS and Medicare. I wish someone would be honest and direct about those issues, but no candidates ever seriously go after the problem. Someone needs to just tell young people of a certain age that SS won't be available to them. Pick an age and move forward with a different plan. Maybe everyone under twenty-five years old. Offer them some type of super IRA plan to try and best compensate for them getting a raw deal, because they will obviously still be taxed the rest of their lives. Maybe give them a combo ROTH/Standard IRA where they can deduct it from their taxes AND it would grow tax free. If we did something like that when the last 26 year old died this country would be rid of SS for ever. Of course I am just spouting off the top of my head, but something really should be addressed before it is too late.
