I think it's sad when people are so uncaring and judgmental of those who are born into different circumstances. I don't have a sense of entitlement because I didn't grow up with a sense of entitlement. As great as entitlement programs are, because they provide for the neediest in society, those programs also create a sense of entitlement that can go on and on for generations. It's a cycle we create on the basis of caring, and it has a major catch 22. Society holds as much blame as anyone for creating the problem. When you pile on inequities within our educational system, racism, disparities in health outcomes for the poor, along with the problems that are created by our attempts to help, you can see our system IS the problem, not individual parents.

it's not just women...
So social welfare or those at the bottom of the scale, schip is bad, but incentives for businesses and farms are unworthy of judgment?
Those milk and corn producers should be able to meet all the needs of their businesses. Why should my tax dollars subsidize them?
So its bad that children, the cheapest to insure, shouldn't have access to vaccines, well child care, but use the ER as their PCP?
All children need access to food, shelter, and medical care regardless of their parents ability to provide.

Some people, yes. It is certainly NOT okay (in my mind) for a person to say "Well, if I got a job, my take-home pay would be enough to bridge our financial gap, but I'd RATHER not work, so I'll just go on government assistance instead." That is so, so, so wrong.
That's different than a person who says "Well, if I got a job, not only would I not net any take-home pay because of childcare costs, we'd actually be LOSING money every month AND disqualifying ourselves for WIC in the process. In the interest of feeding my children, it would be financially wiser for me to stay at home right now."
actually i heard he's trying some new tactic or stimulus to jump start housing again, lord knows what rocks he finds all the funding for his programs under, LOL...my husband is very familiar with banking, the mortgage crisis and all.
sounds to me like you're just separating the two by incomes, that doesn't mean they belong to separate departments.
