You are right. The system is broken.
Not sure how to fix it
but I am tired of wasting taxpayer money

It is a scam, and we have thousands of innocent kids in every major city that go hungry because their parents sell their food aid for cash.

I don’t care a bit about the parents, I care about those innocent babies. They didn’t ask for it.

The system is so broken.

So, how do we prevent parents from being jerks? I do not see the war on drugs as better than Prohibition.

Moving away from Christianity has made it worse, IMHO.

At one time, a hundred years ago, my mother was one of those kids. Most of the kids turned out pretty well. My mother insisted she marry a Christian man, because she did not wish to be abused as her mother was.

For my mother, it was a very good choice.

I whole-heartedly concur that shoving God out of the public square has brought nothing but misery.

I would like to see more people involved with the kids. That is where we can make the biggest difference.

68 years of uninterrupted Dem Mayors (though it did have Rizzo, the bright spot, but he left office 40 years ago).

“What was the tragedy?”

A probable gangbanger got capped in front of the kids at a PlayStreet event.

I’m not seeing that as a “tragedy,” but thanks.
