This isn't a sign of anything other than we have a nation that is getting less intelligent and undereducated each and every year, regardless of race.
If you cannot work enough to feed your own children then you shouldn't keep having them. The best thing we could is do some sort of forced but
reversible sterilization on anyone receiving welfare for more than a year.
A couple should be able to work at Taco Bell and be able to pay the rent and feed their kids, but there are so many peple that would rather by drugs,
alchohol, or a new set of rims or a gold tooth grill before they feed their own kids. Why is this? Because they know the taxpayer will take care of
thier kids.

you're not gonna be able to feed your kids, house them, warm that house, clothe them, and provide medical care for them on a job from taco bell, I
don't believe, not anywhere!!! Especially if you a single mom, heck, that taco bell job won't even cover your child care expense!!
And, well, the article doesn't state just how much these people are getting from foodstamps. I looked at a few income guidelines for the program
from different states, and it seems that a family of four can gross over $2,000 a month and qualify for food stamps. of course, I know some of these
families are only getting $50 or less in food stamps.
My job doesn't pay no $2,000 a month, and I have about 8 years of experience in the trade. so, well, it's not that the people need to get out and
get a job, although I do wish some of them would get out and get a job. So didn't the gov't obviously, since now, they are required, to go out and
get a job!!!
but, it's that they've allowed the cost of living to run away. The wages of most people haven't gone up hardly at all...unless of course we're
talking about upper management, who seem to be making more money than they could spend in a lifetime, who have run out of things to do with all that
money and want to play the wall street gamble with your life, who don't pay social security for much of that money, who seem to earn that money by
charging the highest price possible for their wares while reducing the cost of production mainly by paying the lowest wage possible to everyone except
their buddies in management! Who then gripe because they find, that hey it's their income bracket that is paying the most in taxes.....
hey, who do want to be paying the most in taxes, those earning under $2,000/year, so we can just give more back to them, so they can have their car,
their food, their shelter, ect, and still be able to go to work for yas every day and earn you your profits??? not to mention buy your overpriced
wares???
this isn't a sign of nothing but an economy grossly out of equilibrium.
