One shocking fact that has come to light as the nation wrestles with a baby formula shortage is that half of U.S. infants receive WIC (federal food assistance).
According to the USDA website, “The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) provides federal grants to states for supplemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, and to infants and children up to age 5 who are found to be at nutritional risk.”
“WIC serves 53 percent of all infants born in the United States,” the USDA proudly tells us.
That one in two American babies is deemed eligible for public assistance is an incredibly distressing third-world level of economic failure. What in the world is going on?
For starters, a disastrous 40% of babies in the United States are now born out of wedlock. In addition, around 39% of marriages will end up in divorce. This makes for a lot of single-parent households — one of the strongest predictors there is for financial struggles.

Welfare and SSD rules allow “one vehicle”.
No limitations on value, age, or.....{{{gasp}}} “greeness” aka fossil fuel efficiency.
The “Great Society Act” was one of the greatest misnomers or Trojan Horses of all times.
Both of my kids were on WIC in the early 80’s I made oh 3.50 or so working at a hospital in northern MN. It helped a lot, kids wore cloth diapers too.
I recently found out in WA State. A couple with one child with parents making $35k a year, are eligible for $1300 a month in good stamps, in addition to other benefits, like completely free healthcare.
Of course about half because they are catch-and-release illegals given work-permits, WIC, and more. Our country has been overrun and people are not realizing it—illegals from the south and cheap labor from India. Americans are now second place, pushed aside (and allowing it) much like a frog sitting in a warming pot of water.
I went to the live seafood store one day last year and saw a carload of youths ahead of me pay for a lot of live dungeness with ebt cards and get in their Mercedes SUV and drive away.
My wife had breasts. No need for WIC. Post breasts we bought whole milk when our son could use such.
I was checking Amazon to see if formula is available and at what price. Apparently it is available, and the price I saw was about $3/8oz bottle. For a baby that needs 5x4oz/day that’s about $7.50 per day or roughly $225 per month. That’s just formula for one baby. I could see where many young couples might struggle with the costs of caring for their little ones. Yet it does not seem like price or availability is exactly cataclysmic so far. I’ll be keeping an eye out.
Womb to tomb
What percentage are illegal aliens?
Watch what will happen to our society when the illegitimacy rate amongst Whites reaches the level it is for Blacks. That will be the final collapse. That is the plan.
It’s stunning. And breast milk is free. And a superior product by far.
White women are not having as many babies as black and brown women.
They’re working on it. Already happening in Appalachia.
FedGov’s insidious incursion ever more deeply into American daily life is on full display with this one.
Personal responsibility has, apparently, died. And, that spells disaster for this nation.
If they could get away with it, they’d make families earning up to $1 million per year WIC-eligible.
Idiocracy was a prophetic documentary of the future.
This is the result.
You joined two days ago and post that kind of crap?
Lot's of smart, educated people that can afford to have kids aren't, while those that aren't, are, and in greater numbers. The basis of the movie "Idiocracy".
How many of those are illegals and/or their young relatives outside of the country?
