I'd rather have aviation subsidized than some woman with ten kids on
welfare. Socialists suck.
Actually, NPR did a piece today on the 10th anniversary of welfare
reform. Even the socialists they interviewed had to grudgingly admit
that the reform program, passed by the Republicans in 1996 (and signed
into law by Bill Clinton) has been a resounding success, with welfare
roles down 60%.
Best of all, according to NPR being on "welfare" has been stigmatized
once again, even in the inner cities, where it had become a
multi-generational way of life. People are ashamed of being on the
public dole, and are working their way out of poverty, instead of
Jonesing when their checks were late.
These are all good things.
Childhood immunizations. There are no children turned away without
immunization anywhere in America. There *are*, however, millions of
criminally stupid parents who don't GET their children immunized.
Honestly, you have to pass a test to drive a car, but there is no
"minimum requirement" for reproducing. Imagine what a lovely world it
could be, if only some basic skills were required of every human before
they had children?
