Kids from 5 different fathers, yes, you have any answers? Starving the kids doesn't look like it would fix that problem.
To me the first step is changing the way we do it. Start with the county, city or state level. Insure that illegals don't get anything and if they are illegal then deal with that law breaker. Don't continue to give unemployment bennies like we have. Plenty of jobs out there if your desperate enough but if you make it easy to sit on the couch and do nothing then what's the incentive??? You keep saying starving kids...why? That's the same tactic used to force obamacare down our throats. All they talked about was people not getting healthcare when in fact many were getting it for free anyway and again I go back to illegals. The system enables them to have babies here for next to zero out of pocket.
So to try and fix one aspect of the problem let's fix the border/ illegals problem. If amnesty has to be given then set a target date. If your an illegal after that your going home. Tax these folks and make them part of the tax paying society...if they are gonna benefit from our tax structure then pay your dang way.
I would be happy seeing across the board cuts in several programs that just give money away. Look at the free Obama phones. Why??? Since when did having a phone become such a right? Ax that program. You don't have a phone?? Get a job. You don't have transportation? Ride the bus, call a friend, get a family member to take you...not my problem. We already support public transportation.
Look at how many folks get gubment assistance and tell me it's not a problem that needs some hard decisions made in order to fix it. How about these idiot elected officials get this problem economy turned around?? That's another good place to start. You see it's not my job to fix this and I didn't cause it but I'm dang sure funding it and I don't like it. The people who caused it and who continue to feed the charity train are in office. In no way shape or form will anyone fix this with one attempt. The problem is it's almost to big to handle with a direct approach which is why I said fix the economy, grant amnesty to illegals, fix the borders, control the money leaving at the state level and actually enforce laws against illegals who mooch off the system.
That's just a few ideas and not once did I say starve the kids. Show me where kids with parents are starving in Kentucky and more than likely I'll show you some abuse of the welfare system or drugs....all I'm saying is it's not a problem that I know of.
