The truth is people now have NO shame in demanding everyone else take care of their kids.
No shame in not working, no shame having multiple kids with no marriage. No shame in free meals, free housing, free heating, free cell phones,free health care etc.
Again, not free, but free because everybody else is forced to pay.
You’re not forced to pay sad sack, you can move anytime. Don’t let the door hit you in the ass when you go.
Your on screen moniker is not quite correct, it should read “truly sad”.
As in pathetic, pitiful and feeble.
You are one miserable, wretched, contemptible and useless
human being. To call you worthless is a vast understatement.
You are a prime candidate for thinning the herd.
SO assnonymous 1 and 2 what are you doing to help the problem? Takin in the kids? Paying extra taxes? contributing to the school, food bank? Tell us how you are alleviating the problem.
Actually I have donated all of my stimulus checks to the food bank.
I did not need the money and thought it best to assist those that really need it.
What have you done besides being a crotchety, self-centered old geezer?
I also give to the local food banks, donate money to the schools to help with overdue lunch accounts and favor whatever it takes to make sure no child goes hungry. I didn’t give my stimulus check to the food bank and I applaud my counterpart for doing so. So, as he said, what have you done?
listen to people bloat about feeling good
Well, we all know what you do to feel good. Didn’t your mom tell you that would make you go blind?
I am glad some child is getting a meal. After all this is a USDA program whose purpose is to also help out the farmer. Need to do something with the surplus food.
i know a cpl with 10 kids. neither have worked a day in their life, just sat back and lived off the government, lived better then me who worked 55 yrs for what i have. instance, relief check, just think what they got of our money. NOW HIRING signs all over town so no excuse not to work. they chose to have all those kids, now let them pay for them instead of us.
That may be true, but it’s not the kids’ fault. If the parents are spending all their money on booze and drugs, hot lunch is the only meal the kids get. Every teacher and food service worker knows of kids who rush to the lunchroom on Monday morning for the breakfast during the school year because they haven’t eaten all weekend.
Turn the deadbeats in then.
The truth is, people used to take care of themselves. Now they let the govt. take care of them. It isn’t about the kids. It’s about the parents choosing to let the govt. do the parenting. People say these kids are in need. Their only need is for their parents doing their job as parents.
It’s called, Government Dependency, and that’s what those that are running this country want.
You should know, you’ve been on it for years.
People are taking care of themselves, but not their kids, and that’s nothing new. It’s been going on for many years. It’s not the kids’ fault. They can’t learn anything if their stomachs are growling so loud they can’t concentrate.
Dead beat parents?
Can the Headline reflect the truth!
Taxpayers are once again feeding the children so the parents don’t have to be responsible.
Only free to those on the receiving end. The rest pay for it
Amen
Yeah, you poor slob. It is probably going to cost you about a quarter and will give numerous children a chance at a better life. I know that quarter is tough to give up, but drive a 1/8 of a mile less this year. That will make up for it.
why don’t you get a job, then YOU can pay for YOUR kids. That’s how we did it
I have a job and worked at it over 40 years. I want all kids to have a chance in life and will do whatever it takes to provide it to them. You, however, we could do without.
I’m with you 100%.
Being as this is NIT there a few real assholes on here
that don’t care about anyone else.
Seriously how can you not want to help children in need?
These ass-clowns are prime candidates for thinning the herd. Basically they are worthless pieces of shit.
Thanks. I think this guy, if he goes to church, has never put a penny in the collection plate and if he puts in a $1, he takes out $5.
Sad, but true.
Wow saints…God is waiting for you.. or is he?
Not a saint, but still not giving in to evil.
