Congressman Gohmert: I got into politics to stop paying poor women to have kids

Sorry, Louie. Shouldn’t have gone there. This isn’t about truth or what’s right or wrong any more. This isn’t about building a healthier nation by promoting individual earned success. This is about using POWER to reward your friends and punish your enemies.

[DaveA37]

Well at least ONE person sees the light. Too bad there are so many “blind” liberals that have difficulty grasping the truth. The problem isn’t going to get resolved anytime soon.

Another potential reason for all this is to create even MORE demodummie voters. Once they get into the welfare trough (and get their “free s&5t”, as they call it), they are hooked for life. There are exceptions to all this but they are VERY RARE.

Bravo, Louie!

Keep making their heads explode by telling the truth.

18 Trillion in War of Poverty and its a terrible failure.

So what’s his solution?

[listenhillary]

Healthcare, knockout game, gun violence, immigration, lack of jobs, cashiers that can’t make change, drug abuse, child abuse, crack babies, obesity, cultural decline, Justin Bieber.

There is little that can’t be tied to the disastrous war on poverty.

Stop rewarding women to have out of wedlock babies? I thought we got rid of “bumping the check” with additional babies, but I could be wrong.

Is there a solution?

[randita]

According to Hannity, Gohmert offered him his seat at the SOTU show. Hannity was undecided on whether he wold take him up on that offer.

[listenhillary]

I think I heard that Hannity was going.

Louie may not be the next great BSing politician, but he is a good ol East Tx Boy.

[DoodleDawg]

Stop rewarding women to have out of wedlock babies?.

So he's calling for ending welfare period?

[mylife]

Personal responsibility.

This is the entire speech that Louie Gohmert gave on Jan. 9.
About 21:30 minutes Gohmert describes his experience as a judge.

Gohmert Breaks Down The ‘War on Poverty’

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inTvI6BCcAY

Around 10 min. Gohmert talks about the auto bailout and the unconstitutional actions of this administration, comparing it to the IRS targeting of conservatives, and calls out SCOTUS for their inaction.

Sidenote> one car dealership worth 5 million was given to a democrat to add to his car dealership. Car dealers who gave to the GOP were targeted.

[onedoug]

Nailed it.

[Popman]

So what’s his solution?

We didn't get here overnight and the solution won't be an overnight fix...

Based on the premise we as a country don't leave children starving as many of these welfare moms will if completely cut off..

1. Pass legislation in 2014 you cannot receive benefits for more than two children that any new baby mommies have...
2. 2024, ten years later you cannot receive benefits for more than one child
3. 2034 benefits completely cut off...

Incentify mothers to get married, by giving better benefits to married women who need assistance...

[machman]

Glad to call him my congressman....

[listenhillary]

That would be the rational move.

I don’t know what we will do with the massive herd of people ill equipped to function in society. The first step is to stop increasing the herd.

In 1963, one year before Johnson’s absurd declaration of “war” against a universal part of the human condition, the white illegitimacy rate in the United States was 3.07 percent, according to the Department of Labor. The black illegitimacy rate was 23.6 percent, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.

Fifty years into the war, the illegitimacy rate – THE SINGLE MOST CONSISTENT PREDICTOR OF POVERTY – is 25 percent for whites, 42 percent for Hispanics and a truly staggering 72 percent for blacks.

Interesting - finally an explanation for how someone like Sharpton can be a 'leader'...

[Madame Dufarge]

Hoorah for Louie!

This from back in the late 19th century:

"George McGonegal, New York state superintendent of the poor, criticized programs wherein 'families are furnished a stated amount weekly or monthly, and this is continued week after week and year after year.' McGonegal argued that recipients soon 'lose their energy and self-respect and find it easier to rely upon the industry of others to furnish them their daily bread than to exert themselves to earn a livelihood.' He pointed out the danger of what we today call inter-generational dependency: When parents' prayers for a daily dole were answered,

their children learn to think that getting provisions and fuel from the overseer of the poor is perfectly right and proper, and they are almost certain to follow in the footsteps of their parents."
