Pretty damned simple. During the new deal of Franklin Roosevelt, they came up with a program of welfare for destitute people. Especially aimed at the children of those families (I use the word families VERY Loosely). They made one very important error. The financial assistance was only available to Single Parent families. Thus, they actually destroyed the American Family.
Now we have two groups of “poor”. Those who are single females and those who are single males. The single females, sadly, predominantly of African descent, have a guaranteed income as long as, a.) they keep having babies b.) they remain single.
Second group, males. After they turn 18, they are now adults and they are OUT. Out on the street, broke, penniless and since we are so diligent about making sure we buy chinese junk because it is a few pennies less expensive than American made products, real job prospects have gone to chinese slaves, leaving American workers out of opportunities.
So, we have a large group of people living on Welfare, with free houses which are too often neglected that are occupied by very large, female led families. Next we have a class of criminals. That would be the men. Without decent jobs, they turn to the only real prospect of employment, gangs and drug sales. When a service job now comes available, who wants to work at McDonnald’s for five bucks an hour when he can work on the street corner and make 500 bucks an hour?
So, lots of poor families, living off the backs of our taxes and our government’s borrowed dollars, which our taxes help pay the interest. Lots of poor black families and yes, we made them, that is we who are liberals and continue to support this mess.
After all, if you are living on the government’s whim and you live in fear that if that other group is elected, they will cut you off, the thought buoyed by the liberals tales of misery and woe the conservatives will bring upon them, who would you vote for?
Really fucked up? Yep!
There is a solution to this mess. Develop a welfare system that truly rewards marriage and getting a job. As it is currently managed, as soon as a welfare recipient gets a job, they are out of the program. No more medical care, no more free housing free cell phones, no more free anything. Well the medical care is a real issue.
1. Married families get twice the amount of current grant, single parent families get half the amount.
2. Limit the amount of children we will pay for. Family can have as many children as they want, but we only pay for the first two. If one dies early, we can make an exception to add an extra, but that’s it.
3. No passing off children to grandparents, aunts uncles or other relatives, two children get paid for, That’s it. Only to the parents.
4. Reduce benefits as income goes up. Put in place safeguards to keep cheats out
5. Allow Medicaid to continue, at a reduced premium rate as family income grows.
6. When income is sufficient to truly meet the married family’s need, they may continue to receive Medicaid after paying a premium.
7. Dump obama care and offer Medicaid services to anyone willing to pay the premium like we all do who have medical/hospitalization insurance.
Put this in place and liberals will scream their little heads off. How unfair to give people an opportunity to have a real family and some prospect of earning their own living.
