If that many "need" help to survive in this country, we need to start making some hard decisions about the structure and delivery systems of what used to be called "indoor aid".
ReplyDeleteWe're doing it all wrong, if we're still looking at it as "temporary assistance" when the population expects it to be a lifelong patronage of idleness. There is a world of difference between those who were formerly productive, until an unforeseen event knocked them down, and need a helping hand to get back on their feet, and people who know no other life than parasitism and criminality.
But the children. It's all about the children!
ReplyDeleteHaving more children to get higher benefits really needs to stop. We should allow for one mistake, but after that, you are on your own!
ReplyDeleteIf children were taught to do landscaping and menial tasks in schools.. we wouldn't need the team of illegals working outside Bennett High School on Saturday mornings on some paid contract with our underfunded School System.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't call professional landscaping a menial task.
DeleteBut vo-tech and ag-tech should be expanded to include less skilled occupations, instead of trying to jam a certain quota of dumb kids through the "college track". Work ethics, coming to work every day and on time, not bucking up to anyone in authority who tells them how they want the job done, budgeting, and the relationship of sustained work to success, status and self-sufficiency should be the foundation of the curriculum.
Prepare the kids to go to work, whether they are going to college or not.
10:47 - Nooooo! After that, you are unable to have any more! If you let them have more without paying for them, they become even more uncivil...forever!
