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.
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.
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.
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
