When republicans complain about single moms getting food stamps, why don’t they consider the well-being of the child?

[Man of Ethics]

I know well about the disabled, we're not discussing the disabled and what should or shouldn't be available for them.

I can walk. I can not run.

I can write a nanoessay. I can not communicate well with people or find a job.

I am an Aspie.

It means such things have been proven to break the cycle of poverty or preventing them from becoming poor to begin with.

How many people who didn't make babies they can't afford, worked hard, stayed sober and out of prison, graduated from HS, got a decent job, learned a technical skill or got a degree do you know of on food stamps or welfare?

See this is just you making shit up on the spot. That’s all this is lol

The reasons why people fall into poverty vary greatly. You summing it ALL up to being about laziness is pretty simple minded.

 

[Man of Ethics]

And again, that is not what we're discussing.

Perhaps you should start another thread on the disabled?

Perhaps 90% of people who "choose" not to work are disabled.

Which isn't a solution to anything, it only perpetuates a growing problem.

A growing problem? What facts back that up?

 

[fncceo]

My solution is to continue as we are. Duh.

Keep pouring money down a sinkhole with no eventual plan to solve the issue?

That doesn't sound like good fiscal or social planning.

I don't begrudge anyone for complaining that their taxes are too high. The war that created our country was over the fact that our taxes were too high.

Poverty:​

• The official poverty rate in 2020 was 11.4 percent, up 1.0 percentage point from 10.5 percent in 2019. This is the first increase in poverty after five consecutive annual declines (Figure 8 and Table B-4).
• In 2020, there were 37.2 million people in poverty, approximately 3.3 million more than in 2019 (Figure 8 and Table B-1).
• Between 2019 and 2020, the poverty rate increased for non-Hispanic Whites and Hispanics. Among non-Hispanic Whites, 8.2 percent were in poverty in 2020, while Hispanics had a poverty rate of 17.0 percent. Among the major racial groups examined in this report, Blacks had the highest poverty rate (19.5 percent), but did not experience a significant change from 2019. The poverty rate for Asians (8.1 percent) in 2020 was not statistically different from 2019 (Figure 9 and Table B-1).
• Poverty rates for people under the age of 18 increased from 14.4 percent in 2019 to 16.1 percent in 2020. Poverty rates also increased for people aged 18 to 64 from 9.4 percent in 2019 to 10.4 percent in 2020. The poverty rate for people aged 65 and older was 9.0 percent in 2020, not statistically different from 2019 (Figure 9 and Table B-1).
• Between 2019 and 2020, poverty rates increased for married-couple families and families with a female householder. The poverty rate for married-couple families increased from 4.0 percent in 2019 to 4.7 percent in 2020. For families with a female householder, the poverty rate increased from 22.2 percent to 23.4 percent. The poverty rate for families with a male householder was 11.4 percent in 2020, not statistically different from 2019 (Figure 12 and Table B-2).

The number of Americans living in poverty grows every year on average and the percentages haven't varied much since 1970.

Of course as total population grows, even a lower percentage in poverty means a growing population when you actually start counting heads.

Income and Poverty in the United States: 2020

This report presents data on income, earnings, income inequality & poverty in the United States based on information collected in the 2021 and earlier CPS ASEC.

We actually saw raises in real median family income during the first 3 years of the Trump Administration, the first since 97 but of course the insane Covid Shutdowns, and lockdowns/shuttering of businesses took care of that.

Kind of funny for a guy who was bitching because none of us were offering any solutions... .

That kind of hypocrisy used to be entertaining, now it's just old and tiring.

NO!
Many people with Disability can not provide for themselves.

The thread is about single moms, no?

Modern World has more then enough resources to provide for people in need!

Everything the government provides to one person must be taken from another.
From each according to their means, to each according to their needs.
Where have we heard that failed philosophy before?

Lol okay what? See what I asked for was evidence that shows separating kids from their parents is a viable idea.

This shows that poverty is increasing. No one disputes that. We would still need social programs to address this issue.

Trump and the republicans of course were all billed as something between the devil himself and Hitler when they suggested that maybe we could consider cutting back on food stamp spending when the economy was rocking along and real median family incomes were rising for the first time in over two decades.

Bastards!

Please quote anyone stating that all social programs needed to be eliminated.

And? The people on food stamps are still the same people.

No that isn't what you asked for, why are you lying?

 

[Orangecat]

Proven to work huh? Lol what the fuck does that even mean?

Maybe I can help. Which word/words are you having difficulty understanding?

Also, you need to understand how government programs work. ANY government program over time need additional dollars. That’s just how inflation works. The actual way to measure government spending is to compute it as a percentage of GDP.

 

[fncceo]

And? The people on food stamps are still the same people.

Since 1969, 41 million people have been added to the rolls of recipients (see above). How is it possible they are all the same people? Identity fraud?

Can you not keep up with your own posts? Are you on something?
