People werent more responsible back then? Accidents happened, yes, but nobody WANTED to fall pregnant without the resources to support themselves. Yet that is what people do today, because they know welfare will pick up the check.
an effective way to stop the next generation of people on welfare is birthcontrol shots for any girl/woman of child bearing age. also applies to those on social security disability.
1 shot every 3months, paid for by Medicaid.
now the problem is how to get them to the clinic?
stick: threaten to reduced their welfare $?
carrot: give them an extra $25 that month for getting the shot?
and no repurcussions to the doc if the girl does get pregnant since the shots are only 97% effective.
I am not sure why we'd want to do that? It's going to negatively impact the future demographics and economy.
No one, under any circumstances, should be coercively rendered sterile. Saying that you can be on welfare but you can't have children is cruel.

And i find it cruel that they can take advantage of other peoples money to continue leading a unresponisble life.
No, people used to drop their babies off at the orphanage.

Lol! Those good ol days of yours never existed.
It was called eugenics, and it has already been tried. The program was even upheld by the US supreme court.
Hitler modeled his eugenics program after the US.
Institute a benefit cut off then start taking the babies away and give them up for adoption. I might be wrong but I bet there is strong demand to US born babies since so many seem to have to get babies from Asia (China, Korea) to adopt.
Yes, yes, and yes. The assistance should be to allow you a better chance to earn a better life, and to repay society later on. In no way should it be relied upon long term. Deadbeats should not apply and can go to the nearest tent city instead.The bigger problem is the philosophy of government assistance itself. Rather than being a simple handout it should be given with the direct expectation that the recipient will use the help to better themselves and get off of welfare. It should also be a temporary form of assistance.
My family is a product of government assistance that we used to better ourselves. My wife became pregnant when we were very young (22 and 18) and it was a wake up call to get our lives in order so we could support a family. After being laid off, I found a state program that gave me a grant to go back to college for a 2 year degree, and we used other programs like WIC, daycare assistance, and low income housing to help get by while my 19 year old wife worked full time as a bank teller and I worked part time and went to school full time.
10 years later we are both very successful and have paid back any assistance we received several times over through paying far, far higher taxes. In fact, I was able to put my wife through college debt free and now she, too, is earning more than she did before.
We made some bad choices and bettered ourselves thanks to the help we received. That's what government assistance should be: temporary help so citizens can improve themselves, not a lifestyle choice.

Sounds good to me.
Screw civil rights and having control of what goes into our bodies. since this is for the greater good, why not.
Lol! This combined with your anti abortion thread is hilarious!
People on welfare don't have more kids to get more welfare...
