[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]We also need to stop incentivizing people to have additional children they can’t afford. [/b]Every human interest story I read that is designed to tug at my heart strings just exasperates me more. All these unemployed/underemployed parents with too many mouths to feed! “How on earth am I supposed to feed my 9 children on my PT McDonalds salary??” The fact that these people agree to be interviewed proves they accept zero responsibility for their current plight.

Oooh, I have some ideas...

Provide sex education in schools
Provide contraceptives
Make abortion save and legal.[/quote]

Many generational welfare recipients actually want to have kids, we all know why.
Many poor people don’t have the executive function to use contraceptives unless they are like shipped to their home address and administered on the spot. If something requires the smallest effort it’s not done. I actually think this is key to poverty (besides social issues), poor executive function. 
Lastly, many view abortion as a sin so it doesn’t help either [/quote]

Too harsh, but it does appear that being unmarried (esp but not exclusively with kids) dramatically increases the likelihood that one will use SNAP.

Compelling reason for individuals to seek and maintain lifetime partners and for the government to encourage and incentivize this.

If marriage is such a good thing, why do people need to be coerced into it by the threat of starvation?[/quote]

PP.

Huh? I’m not suggesting that SNAP be used to force people to get married.

What I am saying is that being single, esp. with kids or when older, dramatically increases your odds of being poor and needing programs like SNAP.

No value judgment, just fact.
