Bad Parents, Poor Kids

Published on Tuesday, 29 January 2013 06:49 Written by John C. Goodman

Am I the only one who thinks it is immoral to bring children into the world if you don't have the means to support them? I must be one of the few. I rarely see anyone else make the point.

Before anyone objects, let me concede up front that a lot of things in life are unpredictable. Women become pregnant despite their best efforts to avoid it. Women can lose their husbands from accidents, war and even homicide. Without tenured employment, few of us are safe from the economic reversal that would attend the loss of a job.

Still, consider that:
 
•Almost four in every ten children are born on Medicaid.
•One in every four children is living in a food stamp household.
•Entire classrooms — no entire schools, wait, even in entire areas of whole cities — all the children are on the school lunch program.
 
You just can't write it all off to bad luck. What we are witnessing are patterns of behavior. All too often it's intentional behavior.

My first response was....DUH

This should ge a HUGE issue for conservatives.  This is also the direct product of decades of liberal BS. 

I could go on for pages about this subject....but I won't.
