I saw this data in the local paper - disappointing would be an understatement. Nearly 1 in 4 children eat courtesy of foodstamps in the US.

"The number of food stamp recipients has climbed by about 10 million over the past two years, resulting in a program that now feeds 1 in 8 Americans and nearly 1 in 4 children."

It's a neat interactive. As you roll the cursor over the map, it will give you county-by-county results...

The poor people are having all the kids.
As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good?

Well, they have more time on their hands to have babies. At our expense? Wow. Something is wrong with our society. Something is very wrong.

More time on their hands, less to lose, and more to gain. Unfortunately, genetics being what they are, it's recipe for disaster in the long term.

Like I said, when you subsidize something you get more of it.

Want more poor? Give them something for nothing. Just like we do!
