Hey look, enough is enough.\u00a0 We have to find\u00a0 different ways to help people get out of poverty other than just keep writing out checks that we can\u2019t pay for.\u00a0 I don\u2019t have a problem\u00a0\u00a0helping those truly in need but when they are on food stamps and every other government program that exist and leave the grocery store and load up into the latest model SUV of what ever make it just makes me want to scream.\u00a0 These people see nothing wrong with that because the government is so big and has so much money why not get theirs.\u00a0 They have no clue and don\u2019t care where that money comes from.\u00a0 Those of us who work hard to get ahead are paying for every thing these people need so they can pay for their luxuries.\u00a0 Is this wright? No it is not.\u00a0 There is no incentive for the government employees to help decrease the fraud in the system because their jobs depend on their budget at least staying the same or growing every year.\u00a0 I\u2019v worked for the government and know how that works.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t spend everything in your budget it gets cut back the next year. If everyone applying for benefits had to under go a credit check then you would be able to see their spending patterns, that nice new car and how many credit cards they have and how they spend their money.\u00a0 I know, this would be an invasion of their privacy.\u00a0 The fact of the matter is we can\u2019t keep up with this kind of government spending on social programs for people who really don\u2019t need it.\u00a0 These programs were never intended to be used by people for their\u00a0whole lives but it is sad to say, that\u00a0also is a fact.\u00a0 Living on the government programs has become a way of life which makes it a hand out not a hand up.\u00a0 Why should I work if I can make the same if not better on all the programs?\u00a0\u00a0Why should I ever get married if I loose my benefits?\u00a0 We have to break this cycle some way or these people will drag us all to hell. I read a report on yahoo, I\u2019m sorry it just caught my eye, on the decline of the birth rate and what that will mean down the road.\u00a0 At first glance that sounds alarming but when you think about which population that the birth rate has actually declined it become more alarming.\u00a0 Those of us in the middle class realize we can\u2019t have more than 2 kids because we can\u2019t afford it.\u00a0 That doesn\u2019t faze the people on all the welfare programs who keep reproducing at an alarming rate.\u00a0 I have a solution for this too.\u00a0 The government should not have to sponsor more than 2 children per married couple and none if you are not married.\u00a0 If you want to have 12 children then God bless you and good luck. Once you view the content of this story through this prospective then it becomes more than just alarming.\u00a0 Once again I have no problem taking care of those who can\u2019t help themselves but taking care of generations of people because they don\u2019t care to make anything more out of themselves is disgraceful.\u00a0 What is even more disgraceful are politicians who continue to promote these solutions in order to get a vote and have more power.\u00a0 In the end what are these politicians going to have left to be in power over? At empower network everyone can get ahead if they put in the effort.\u00a0 The success stories are endless and each one has a message of self improvement and liberation from the bondage that keeps us down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
