How to Fix Welfare - from the Mailbag

GREAT PLAN

This was in the Waco Tribune Herald, Waco, TX Nov 18, 2010.


"Put me in charge . . ."

Put me in charge of food stamps. I'd get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho's, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese, and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.

Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I'd do is to get women Norplant birth control implants or tubal ligations. Then, we'll test ALL recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine and document all tattoos and piercings. If you want to reproduce, or use drugs, alcohol, smoke, or get tattoos and piercings, then get a job.

Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks? You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your "home" will be subject to inspections any time and possessions will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your own place.

In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a "government" job. It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you. We will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile tires, and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the “common good.”

Before you write that I've violated someone's rights, realize that all of the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules. Before you say that this would be "demeaning" and ruin their "self esteem," consider that it wasn't that long ago that taking someone else's money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem.

If we are expected to pay for other people's mistakes, we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.

AND While you are on Gov’t subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes, that is correct. For you to vote would be a conflict of interest. You will voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a Gov’t welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job.

Of Mothers and Buses

This story is shocking.

A 4-year-old girl is randomly beat up everyday on her way to school...on the school bus.

But there are three threads to this story. Obviously...

FIRST is the out-of-control children on the school bus that beat up little children regularly without compunction (what sort of adults will these monsters in training be? Complete sociopaths in the making.)

SECOND are the totally lying, irresponsible, government workers running the program who refuse to acknowledge or resolve this insane, inhumane situation where little children are subject to beatings daily while in the keeping, and under the auspices of the government school system.

But THIRD is Mom. Mom who wants the "authorities" to do something.

And, OH MY GOD, they SHOULD! But the fact is they are not...and yet she keeps putting her little daughter on the same bus every morning, in spite of the beatings and bullying.

She believes that "someone" should stop this, either the school or the bus company. But actually keeping her child off the bus seems not to have occurred to her. So while she is waiting for someone else to fix this problem, and is disappointed not to say outraged that they are not, she continues to send her baby daughter into the gladiators' arena every morning.

I have questions this story did not address!

Doesn't this woman have a car to drive her child to school?

Can't this woman walk her child to school?

The mother was "at home" worrying about her child, according to the story. Does this mean she does not have a job?

She is identified as "Ms." Does that mean she is not married?

Does that mean there is no husband, no baby-daddy around?

Does that mean she is on welfare... because hey, (1) baby (2) no job (3) no breadwinner? (I'm just doin' the math here.)

Does that mean she has been dependency trained...to the point that she is incapable of making the active decision to remove her child from this dangerous environment?

Is it really necessary for a 4-year-old child to go to school?

Why can't she just stay at home with her mother, who is, apparently, at home?

Inquiring minds want to know.

This baby girl is really and truly "on her own". Even Mama ain't there to save her. What are the chances of her growing up to be a happy, well-adjusted, non-sociopath who doesn't repeat all these sick patterns?

I say slim to none.

Until we can get a handle on all ends of this problem, it ain't going away.

We. Are. Doomed.

Thinking Clearly; Speaking the Truth

According to a commen at American Spectator,  this was in the Waco Tribune Herald, Waco, TX 18 Nov 2010. I love it if it was, but I don't really care. It's totally badass regardless:

Put me in charge ...

Seriously. Thinking this clear is sort of Conservative Porn.
