We are, without doubt, down the rabbit hole. Now people are demanding wages based on the size of their families, not limiting family to their financial situation. Government has been rewarding unchecked reproduction, now private business has to be governed by the employees dependents? ‘Living wage’ will NEVER be enough if you keep making more babies than money. I hope there’s a Trump ladder out of this hole.
Agreed. There are ways out, IMO, that the Dems will fight tooth and nail.
Limit any financial assistance to preschool-aged children already here.
Men do abandon their children, sometimes no fault of the mother, and when those children are preschool age, what to do? The Dem solution is taxpayer-funded daycare. No, no, no.
OTOH, when the child starts public school, THAT is taxpayer-funded babysitting. So, no excuse for mom to sit home smoking crack and hanging with her friends all day. She has the time to get a job/ job training.
And no increase in benefits for subsequent pregnancies/ children, nor any funding for abortions.
We need to disallow Medicaid payments for illegal alien women’s prenatal care, as well as labor and delivery room costs for anchor babies.
We need to understand that welfare in its current form discourages marriage. Many women are claiming to be eligible single mothers, when in fact there IS an “undocumented” man (no marriage on file) in the home who is living off the woman’s benefits. Oftentimes he’s also working for unreported cash or selling drugs.
So the children are, in effect, the official breadwinners, providing the family’s income; and having more children is the incentive to “earn” more money!
It’s true we can’t legislate morality, but we need to stop rewarding irresponsibility. Women DO have power. They can accept responsibility for their choices. Responsibility starts with the understanding that promiscuity leads to fatherless children, and a ticket to a lifetime of poverty.
