There are some items in this article that I have VERY strong feelings about. Before posting them, I'd love to get other views. Please chime in. Thanks. Rich

I would suggest that people not have kids if they can't afford them by eliminating financial incentives. I would also argue that many of these children are on government assistance already...which, if managed correctly, would supply plenty of food for these families.

I recommend that, instead of giving out credit cards from the government (that are promptly wasted on gas station ice cream bars and traded for crack), we should have food centers in each county where food is distributed to needy families. A designated amount of food would be distributed, and a large majority of the waste and fraud would be eliminated.

Not sure why federal programs are being duplicated here.
