Re: Is it possible to create a welfare system that rewards people to be self-sufficie
Exactly the problem .. its sad when middle class families just above the poverty level who pay their taxes and work at least 2 jobs per household end up with as much and often less than those under the poverty level who have been accepted into the welfare systems
Oh, just so you know .. at least in my State .. WIC is a pittance assistance .. it pales in comparison to the food stamp program
-I don't know what Jean Daniel's agenda was, but he definitely called out the wrong program - if he's gonna bash any poverty food assistance program, bash the one that gives out the most (not that I think any of these programs should be bashed, except that I don't agree with the way they create an incentive to keep people on welfare)
Here's the real problem:
In fact, a shocking 49 percent of all babies born in the U.S. are born to families receiving food supplements from the WIC program, according to Jean Daniel, spokesperson for the USDA.
People who can't afford to have children are producing half of the children born in the US. Then those of us can manage our reproductive freedom responsibly end up paying for other people's children and marginally depriving our own.
Things that cannot go on forever, won't.
