Which is why I think if a person is applying for any kind of welfare, they shouldn't receive one dime until they are fixed. You can't solve poverty when the government offers incentives for poor people to create more poor people. I think it should apply to both genders as well. If a father of a child isn't supporting or help supporting it, he too should have to be fixed before he gets any kind of welfare.
Being poor isn't an incurable disease... what you just said is one of the most idiotic things I've ever heard.
"You want food? You gotta give up the chance to have kids the rest of your life..."
So the non-idiotic thing is for poor people to have more children for a larger SNAP's card, a bigger HUD home in the suburbs, and of course, paid utilities?
And let me ask: what do you think working parents do when they can't financially support any more children?
My suggestion is nothing more than society asks of working people. If you can't afford to have children, don't have them. But for some reason, you think poor people should be exempt from that restriction. And BTW, most birth control methods can be reversed. When you are off the dole and want to have children, in most cases, that's possible.
