WTF are people are having children when they can not afford to take care of them?
Millions of people have lost their jobs. I'm sure many of them were quite capable of affording their children until the worst economic downturn since 1929. You can't just turn 'em in for a refund when your budget gets tight.
So everytime the economy gets bad and folks failed to save a nest egg when times were good it is the taxpayers responsibility to fund their past mistakes.
The American way.
Past mistakes like what?
-Flood?
-Illness in the family?
-Fire?
-Victim of a serious crime?
-Bad accident?
-Market crashes?
-Bank failures?
A lot of people find themselves in dire financial situations from "mistakes" that had nothing to do with their behavior.
