A dozen eggs cost about a buck. 3#’s of apples cost $2-4. A loaf odf bread is still under $2 at the grocery store and store brand bologna is under $2 a #.
For less than $10 a child can be fed by their parents a healthy breakfast and lunch every day.
IF parents won’t FEED their Kids, the kids need to be TAKEB AWAY FROM THEM and GIVEN TO PEOPLE WHO WILL!!!<P,WHAT kind of LOUSY parent doesn’t feed their kids????
Lack of responsibility and bad parenting is one of the main causes. These parents have allowed big government to usurp their personal responsibilities to feed, clothe and shelter their children. And public education has become no more than free daycare and a detachment for parents from the responsibility of educating their children.
They do not inspire their children to be successful. Instead they set poor examples by allowing themselves to be chained like slaves to the government plantation. They do not comprehend or are unaware of the debt this nation has incurred because of the welfare state. That debt continues forward to their children and future generations. And so they have robbed those generations of the very prosperity they themselves seek. All for the sake of their selfish needs. And so the cycle repeats itself until broken. Children watch, emulate, and many follow in the footsteps of their parents, No wonder the great war on poverty continues to be passed among generations.
In order to break the cycle they must learn to take personal responsibility, make the right choices for their families, and better communicate with their children. They must set the example and lay down the rules to their children. Finally they must be prepared to give of themselves for the sake of their children. Yes, this will take hard work.
If truly needy and unable to work there are many friends of different religions and private sector charities to sustain them if they will seek them. They may discover no matter how bad their circumstances, there are others who are worse off than them. But someday, GOD willing, they might find themselves in the role of giving, not taking.
Imprisoning children by forcing them to live with adults who do not care enough for them to feed them.
Government funded child abuse.
$127 average, per person, is just that.
It's the average, per all the people fed.
A mother with 5 kids is 6 people.
Otherwise, it would be average per claim or household.
The average per household is $255
These people are bred as livestock to keep the Poverty Industrial Complex humming - and devouring our tax dollars while doing so.
The divide between people paying taxes and those breeding is growing; I do both, but see these two groups increasingly becoming mutually exclusive. In my state of NJ many of the former are pushing back against the expenses of the latter - and leaving the state when the price is too high.
Thank you for clarifying. You have been a conservative longer than I, so tell me.......why do states dole out what almost seem to be incentives for young single women to keep having babies?
At my school they play the system like a violin virtuous. And the kids pay the price as does society. I have a friend who goes to homes and works with babies. She tells me about babies propped up in high chairs in front of a blaring tv. She is often the only play & talking they get.
I don’t know what the answer is.
Long time no see! (I still haven’t made your cream puffs yet, but it’s on my bucket list for the summer ; )
When I first started working in a public school I was still a pretty big liberal. A good friend told me all the freebies made people lazy & they come to expect more & more. I disagreed w/ her until I saw it in action. I see it in person over generations. Now I’m seeing great grandparents being the care givers. There is a “man” in town who has had 28+ kids go thru the primary school. He is not done.
Something must be done. Good to see you!
Yes, the kids pay the price, and, as another poster has noted, that constitutes neglect. If you are receiving welfare and still claim you can’t feed your children, then you’re squandering the money and deserve to have the kids taken away.
And if you’re already getting food stamps and every other taxpayer subsidy, you sure as heck don’t need us feeding your kids every meal.
And then there’s the work requirement ... and a cap on benefits ...
Considering that there is ONE FULL-TIME GOVT. EMPLOYEE for EACH FAMILY ON WELFARE, why doesn’t the government employee spend their day babysitting what they do all day?
The problem is that the layabouts probably outnumber the working beneficiaries.
LOL!!! I can’t believe you remembered the cream puffs!!! I’ll give you a delicious dip/spread recipe if you are interested.
28 KIDS???? Seriously?? Are you in UTAH or DETROIT?
Mississippi & yes I would love your recipe. Thanks!
I got a mans recipe and a woman’s.....which do you want? one has blue cheese and one has apricots and craisins.
Oh blue cheese, I could eat blue cheese everyday!
OK...here goes:
1 8 oz. block of Phila. Cream Cheese
4 oz. crumbled blue cheese
garlic powder to taste....I use about 1/2 teaspoon
about a half shot of JACK DANIELS to soften.....
Mix with fork to smash up blue cheeses and Cream cheese
Serve with Pretzels....it’s best with pretzels, we think!!
Enjoy!!
The other dip is:
1 8 oz. block of cream cheese
LOTS of dried apricots, diced
Lots of Craisins, diced
1/2 teaspoon sugar
some CREAM SHERRY to loosen up everything and make it mixable.
Serve with a “sweetish” cracker like Wheat thins
Enjoy!
Exactly! Parents that are not feeding their children- that is neglect and abuse. Caring parents will do whatever they can to feed their children and will not sell food stamps. Homes with hungry children need to be investigated.
Thank you! I am going to sub bourbon for the Jack Daniels. Sounds delish, thanks!
