welfare itself endangers children

Bingo! It's an essential part of the State's War On Humanity.

"Sure, we all feel for the kids but something has to break the cycle. As it is, generation after generation and it'll never end"

Idea: If parents can't properly take care of their kids, take their kids away from them and place them where they can be properly taken care of.

Should all be wearing T-shirts: "Survivor...My Mommy Didn't Choose Abortion!"

Yes - in a perfect world.
The world of foster care, DSS, and welfare is far from perfect.
Unfortunately there are no easy answers.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's call to cut off welfare assistance to children whose parents fail to meet work requirements could place thousands of East Bay children at risk of hunger and homelessness, critics warn.

In other words, PARENTS, who refuse to work to meet the requirements for assistance, could starve their children or lose their home.

The ball is in your court parents. Get to work.

    Here is a picture of Jesse Jackson marching with N.O.W. (National Organization of Women, a liberal feminist group) members against Welfare Reform, along with the results of the reforms they opposed. State Reform took effect around 1992-1994 and the National Bill was passed in 1996. The Republicans swept the house in 1994 promising a ‘Contract with America’. People are the same the world over. It is the political structure and governmental interference that make all the difference. Get Government out of people’s lives and they will succeed. To believe people cannot succeed without government ‘help’ is to subscribe to what has been called, ‘the soft bigotry of low expectations’. The reason they aren’t succeeding is BECAUSE of the government help, which only serves to subsidize poverty and single motherhood! For some reason, saying these things and passing bills that help millions of people out of poverty is said by the left to be ‘cruel’, ‘hardhearted’ and even ‘racist’.
