Whatever... Maybe it's time we imposed penalties on adult welfare
recipients and limited the number of children a welfare recipient could
have to 1, also limiting the benefits they could receive. What you can't
afford to have, you shouldn't have. It's no wonder there are so many
children on the welfare rolls. One of the things that irritates me most is
seeing an indigent family or single mother marching into the welfare office
with 8 kids in tow, because most of these people are unemployed by choice
or lack of even the most rudimentary skills, and have no desire to work.
With our present system they know they don't have to, yet they keep popping
out kids like it ws a hobby, and they know they'll receive additional
benefits for each child they have.

There are some who are making every effort to pull themselves up by their
bootstraps and to work or actively seek employment. Unfortunately, they
seem to be in the vast minority.
