New Mexico to end food stamp supplement

Though it's not happening in New Mexico, that I'm aware of, with all these bills killing Planned Parenthood around the country, the availability of free condoms and "pills" will be reduced, thus increasing the problem.

The vast majority of the "problem" wouldn't use the condoms or pills anyway.
 
so what if they're not free. make a freaking choice. give up a pack of smokes or a case of beer each month and you can afford to buy condoms.

Typical evil Right WING HATE MONGER!! Trying to FORCE PEOPLE TO LIVE THE WAY YOU THINK THEY SHOULD!!! This is AMERICA! And No one should have to choose to be self sufficient, reliant or give up something to take care of themselves!! That would be unamerican!!
 
Guess it is cheaper to bury dead people rather than feed them and keep them alive.... or you could just let em rot and hope that no disease spreads from their rotting corpses. Either way a cut is a cut!
 
I dont know why this is even a concern. I can totally envision all of the dedicated and concerned liberals RIGHT NOW lining up to contribute of their own income to make up the difference. Its going to happen...I'm just SURE of it!
 
I have a friend who had polio as a child. He uses a wheelchair. Bright guy and likable. He has had to claw his way to meaningful employment all his life. Disabled people are never likely to get the good jobs, if they get any job. They are usually underemployed. Disabled people are often the first to be let go. Usually it is because they have the crap jobs that are the first jobs to go in a cut back. As they downsized two years ago they cut him to half time. No benefits. They cut his hours again. He doesn't want anyone to know but he is now receiving food stamps. He no longer has health insurance. If they cut his food stamps he'll have to eat fewer meals. The state recently agree to set aside half a billion dollars to attract new business by offering corporate welfare.

Does he have a customer service background? I'd be happy to aim him at the company I work for. I work at home, online, 12-8 with full benefits, hourly pay, time off, etc. Tis totally Awesome, and Full of Win. They are hiring.

No, but we do what we can.
 
once, just once, I wish those who can't support them would think of the children BEFORE they have a half dozen of them.

The social programs in place today enable healthy and capable people to suck off the big gov (taxpayer) tit and it has drained the resources from those that NEED it. Instead of people being pissed because the country is broke and clamoring for others to pay even more to take care of the crippled and dependent pets, maybe its time for tose that NEED to start calling out the current generation that had more kids than they could afford, didnt bother to go to high school, claim they cant pay for their own basiuc needs (but have no problem paying for cigarettes, cell phones, video games, drugs, etc). Maybe people should finally BE a little up in arms about food stamp programs that can be so easily abused...by people recieving government assistance and using that money to buy junk food with no nutritional value. Shakespeare was wrong...we shouldnt kill all the lawyers. But we might want to start examining the Jerry Springer/ Maury/Tyra crowds.

I'll be expecting your check or money order in the mail any day now.

This is a positive step to take. I approve.
 
No, but we do what we can.

If more people did 'what we can' (and repect to you for doing it) then we could do more for those that truly cant. I see them both. I cant tell you how angry it makes me having to place perfectly healthy early 20-somethings in social care that understand the system, then having to tell the family that has been doing their best to take care of adopted mentally handicapped children, I'm sorry...there are just no openings anywhere. Yes...no opnenings...because a 20 year old malingering little bastard just took the last bed and will be fed, clothed and sheltered for the next 2 weeks at a cost of about $18,000 (that the taxpayers will cover).

How about personal responsibility? Now there's a novel thought. Why should the government pay for a child's welfare on a routine basis? I thought it was the parent's role.

You mean it doesn't take a village?

It's easy when you don't have to pay any taxes toward the expense, isn't it?
 
So you just reversed yourself on this:

who said anything about abortions? would it hurt poor people to wear a ****ing condom or take the pill? they hand out condoms for free and you can get the pill at the "free clinic". there is no excuse for these people to keep pumping out kids like litters of kittens and then expecting the productive population to support them.

so what if they're not free. make a freaking choice. give up a pack of smokes or a case of beer each month and you can afford to buy condoms.


Which is it?
 
The vast majority of the "problem" wouldn't use the condoms or pills anyway.

But the fact is, millions use Planned Parenthood for birth control and eliminating that organization will have consequences.


The study found that two-thirds of births resulting from unintended pregnancies—more than one million births—are publicly funded, and the proportion tops 80% in a couple of states. The cost of those births, and the potential gross saving from helping women to avert them, is estimated at $11.1 billion.

You haven't caught him in a contradiction, if that's what you're thinking.

Maybe you do...but I dont know if you get it. Many of these people mass reproduce not because they arent smart enough to know what causes babies or because they cant get birth control, but because they see having babies as a salve to their pathetic lives. Men impregnate as many women as they can so they can demonstrate their much man status (so WHAT if they dont have a job...or half their teeth). Women have their little babies to show how valid they are as women...who CARES if they dont really know who the father is or cant independently provide for any of them.

This isnt a platform for or against abortions and using it as such is ridiculous.

both.


no reversal. they are available for free, but if...GASP...the well dries up, they are still cheaper than a pack of smokes or a case of beer.

Horrible. :( That's bad.

Worse than bad, BD..thats COMMON. If people in this country only KNEW how much of their tax revenue went to people like this they would puke...on them.

No Vance, I've had this sort of discussion on here before. The answer from those of the liberal persuasion has always been:
"As long as it's helping those in need, that's all that matters"*


*not EVERY LAST ONE, but the common sentiment
 
They're cutting the program out completely? 100%? trimming the tree is one thing, but cutting it down is another.

Forgot to mention; you can live anywhere in the US and land this job. You need to have a customer service background and be highly computer proficient. That's about it.

I have an employment assistance counselor that works for me during the week...can you give me the name (no need for a website) of the business that you are working for? PM would be fine if you are more comfortable.
