..Typically liberal thinking...

Likewise, the liberal view sees this as a problem to be solved by government handouts rather than as an opportunity to provide a service. In one example daycare consumed half of one person's $250 weekly paycheck. If that is the dominating concern, then why not work at, or start a day care facility?

"Because they think they're entitled to it all. They don't see it as taking our money to pay for their choices, but as grabbing their own share of the "gubmint money."

There is a serious disconnect for them in that they don't seem to understand that "gubmint money" is nothing more than our money which has been confiscated by politicians pandering to these greedy bastards."

RIGHT ON GOPCHICK...Haven't they heard about the "PILL"? It became available at least 40 years ago! Pregnancy is avoidable through various means...why are taxpayers saddled with this? I'll bet Bill & Hill feel their pain. (-:

[NYC GOP Chick]

Yeah, they've heard of it -- and want us to pay for them to get it.

[TheRedSoxWinThePennant]

Let me get this straight. You get pregnant and when you cant find other people to take care of it and pay for it its a CRISIS?

Crisis is just term that groups use to get the govt to pay for s##t.

I'm all for that, but figuring out which guy earned the vasectomy would often be an expensive and even impossible project. Are we ready to forcibly DNA test every male of reproductive age in all those huge public housing projects?

And it just chaps my hide every time I got to vote and see the trilingual ballots. If they don't understand enough English to read a ballot and vote, then they don't belong voting

Yep, but try telling that to the local government. Our county is thrilled to have so many dependents as it gives them an excuse to raise taxes, hire more parasites government employees, more jbts, squander more of other people's money, and increase their control over our lives. It is a good time for government bureaucrats.

Driving through Norcross on Buford Highway, you see more signs in Spanish, Korean, and other languages than you do English

So, in the end, the problem isn't that the programs and funding aren't there, it's that the programs are a "hodge podge" and that the people running them are incompetent. Yet the solution recommended is to pour more money into the ill-organized programs and hire more incompetent people to manage them. Typically liberal thinking.

This whole "article" (to use a polite word for a stinking pile of manure) avoids the real question. What is the moral justification for robbing hard working people at gunpoint (try not paying your taxes and you'll see the guns soon enough) to subsidize the shiftless lifestyle of the terminally irresponsible.

If they never suffer the consequences of their own actions, but we are the ones that suffer for what they do, then what incentive do they have to act in a responsible manner? None. Why should you and I pay for what someone else does? They sure as hell didn't ask my permission to drop a bunch of little bastards. (My kid works in a large hospital, and never hears "that's my husband," but hears instead "That's my baby's daddy." and "That's my other baby's daddy.")

Hey, at least I didn't vote for him!

I did. :(

Kill me now, please...

Mayke if Mikey started governing like a real Republican and reduced the burden on families, more parents would be able to stay home with their kids if that's their choice. Or would that make his feminista friends too angry? After all, government does everything best.

[NYC GOP Chick]

I like you too much to kill you, dear. :)

[NYC GOP Chick]

Nurse Goonberg doesn't want to be a real Republican. The ONLY reason he has that "R" after his name is that the 'rat field was too crowded and he couldn't buy his way to the nomination there.

He reverted to his roots when at the first sign of a massive budget shortfall, he went for the massive tax hike.

I've also heard that before giving Joel Klein the schools job (to mess up royally), he offered it to Randi Weingarten! That's an impeachable/recallable offense!

No conflict of interest there or anything.

[sarasmom]

I was wondering that myself.

[NYC GOP Chick]

Not a conflict of interest -- but it does show where his alleged thinking is regarding education.

Maybe not legally a conflict of interest, but since Randi Whinegarten officially represents the teachers' union and, unofficially, her big fat pocketbook, can she be expected to do what's right by the kids?

Actually, most of the people you see in public housing in NYC and having so many illegitimate kids are the descendants of people who came from places like San Juan and Georgia/Alabama from the 1920-1950s. The illegal Mexicans who started arriving up here ten years ago tend to marry when they have kids, but I expect the second generation to join the underclass.
