I'm going to go out on a limb here and speculate that the men who were "sent" to prison (of course, they didn't do anything to be incarcerated, they were just "sent") were neither "providing" nor the legal head of household for their children i.e. unmarried.
I could be wrong, but I doubt it.
There’s so many bruthas in prison, they might just tip over like Guam.
So, since daddy can’t rob us directly because he is in prison, the IRS can rob us for him. Nice play.
Wow..... I think I lost a few brain cells by simply reading what this dufus had to say. The stupid—it hurts.
“Our policy of sending so many of our young eligible fathers to prison.”
Eligible to fricking who?
Not this father of the bride.
They should make prisoners do hard labor to pay off child support.
What “providers”? What were they providing except for absence?
All Democrats are idiots.
We spend about $80 BILLION dollars a year on just food stamps. That’s about what Russia (the largest country on the globe) spends on their entire military. Only two countries in the world (USA and Communist China) spend more than that on defense. Getting the picture? And that doesn’t include school lunches, supplemental nutrition, WIC and other food programs.
One sure thing about jails, they reduce opportunities to make more babies needing more food stamps.
“We Need Food Stamps Because So Many Fathers Are In Jail”
Well, THAT is certainly circular reasoning. By blowing up the stable family structure that existed among the minority families in this country, through various New Frontier and Great Society programs, the steady climb of those who had once been in the underclass, and moving up to better economic position, had been interrupted, and a new cycle of perpetual poverty was piled upon an already unequal struggle, but a struggle that used to lead to success.
When newly hatched turtles begin their trek to the sea, the first few fall victim to raiding sea birds, but a sufficient number of them get the timing right to reach the sea, and thus have a slim chance of reaching maturity, to return to that beach and reproduce in their turn.
Enter the “animal rights” people, who take it upon themselves to “help” the young turtles to the sea, succeeding only in interrupting the natural cycle of things, and overall REDUCING the chances of healthy and motivated turtles reaching maturity and reproducing.
Succeeding generations of turtles become unmotivated, and thus, when left once again to their own devices for gaining the relative security of the sea, are unprepared for the onslaught of the greedy sea birds, failing to time their trek across the beaches to the sea.
Democratic Congressman: We Need Food Stamps Because So Many Fathers Are In Jail........What a brilliant piece of logic, nothing short of amazing! A statement only a liberal mind is able to conceive. Makes a person wonder if he is somehow related to that THING occupying the white hut?
As of 2013 there were 47.6 million people on food stamps. Does Congressman Numbnuts really want us to believe they are all single women whose men are in prison?
Perhaps criminals should consider the negative consequences of committing crimes beforehand.
Ask liberals this: “Which came first, the absent fathers of the government programs that enable the father’s absence?”
Because the “goof society” came first...
Yeah, we know how great crackheads are at being "providers".
What self serving lies. If these alleged providers were not in jail or prison how would they be "providing"? Via criminal enterprises? Pushing drugs? Via a legitimate job? There are no decent jobs if you are a dropout with minimal education.....
Maybe he figures they can get a gubbermint job of some kind like he has.
When an idiot from the Black Caucus speaks he is talking to black people. That’s why they say such wacked stuff. They don’t care what white people think about them. They care what black voters think about them. Thus you gets lots of grandstanding from these ill educated peacocks
