[quote=Anonymous]Despite 13 pages of debate, I have yet to see anyone cite any evidence that there is actually a material problem with the current system that results in people on welfare breeding willy nilly just to get more benefits. A long time ago Reagan popularized (and politicized) the idea of the "welfare queen," (also based on an anecdote and without actual evidence, but they didn't call him the Great Communicator for nothing), but that was a long time ago and there have been a lot of changes to the safety net since then. So, rather than throwing out stereotypes as a reason for your position, why don't the people who think that this is actually a problem provide some evidence of the problem (bearing in mind that the plural of anecdote is not data). If you can't find evidence, then perhaps you should consider whether your opinions have been manipulated. [/quote]
