I guess the most basic level on which to begin reform is changing the mentality of those who think it's fine to procreate on someone else's dime. When they realize that welfare is no longer worth it, reform will start. Hope to see you again!!! :-Dblackandgoldfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14466365468884484194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1439203042410146973.post-45513181313252992892010-08-04T10:25:12.213-04:002010-08-04T10:25:12.213-04:00I came here from Si Vis Pacem.

The thing about conservative rants is that we have plenty of facts to make our rants pertinent. <br /><br />I can be favorable to Welfare for children to age 16. I can't stomach children going hungry, but it would be so easy to fix the cards so that nothing can be purchased except fruits, veggies, dairy, meats and grains with the nominal amount needed to buy three meals a day. <br /><br />I too am sick of the pregnancies. We need deep reform in the program, with an end date for each recipient. <br /><br />We are in such a mess!Maggie Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01681328690482778919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1439203042410146973.post-80525706294621160542010-08-04T07:01:29.991-04:002010-08-04T07:01:29.991-04:00Thanks, TCL.

IMHO, true reform would be for government to get out of it. Let the private sector handle helping people. The 'brainiacs' at government house have proven over and over just how badly they run things.blackandgoldfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14466365468884484194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1439203042410146973.post-49610383556541940092010-08-04T00:31:25.050-04:002010-08-04T00:31:25.050-04:00Steven: Sorry about the eye injuries.

Unfortunately, today's generational welfare crowd sees it as a badge of honor. THEY'RE the ones who need to be held accountable for their actions and be taught that nothing builds ones self esteem more than living independently and earning what you have. I think it's high time for government to get out of the charity business and let charities do what they do best: help people.blackandgoldfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14466365468884484194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1439203042410146973.post-62089583574761341592010-08-03T18:15:13.950-04:002010-08-03T18:15:13.950-04:00Welcome Back!!
