Charity is not the role of government.
The amount of people in here that don't realize that is more astonishing.
I'll remind you that taxpayers are paying for these entitlement programs and candy and soda are luxury items that people shouldn't be entitled to, especially when it's coming out the pockets of other hard working Americans.
I don't want the government giving these people a single penny and I want that money left in the pockets of taxpayers.
Private charity and churches used to fill this gap before the government stepped in. They did it better and they weren't handing out filet mignon, crab legs, and two liters of mountain dew. They were handing out bags of dried beans, rice, flour, and Staples that could sustain people for pennies a meal. They were able to discriminate against anyone that was able-bodied that just didn't want to work.... Unlike the government.
NGL its pretty funny watching people complain, not about the fact that the government steals their money, but about how they spend it, lol.
Cutting taxes and cutting spending go hand in hand.
You don't seem to even remotely considering the ramifications of cutting off these entitlement programs besides in government spending however.
Welfare and entitlement programs absolutely destroyed the black family incentivizing single motherhood which in turn destroys communities increases crime rates.
Zoom out.
Oh yeah, black mothers are single because muh fudge rounds. 🙄
Straw-man fallacy. Do better.
The noble welfare state. That glorious cathedral of compassion erected in the 1960s with all the good intentions of a lobotomy. It was supposed to lift up the poor, give dignity to the downtrodden, and bless America’s huddled masses with government cheese and moral superiority. Instead, it turned the black family into a statistical crime scene.
Before the Great Society programs rolled in like a federally-funded wrecking ball, nearly 80% of black children were born into two-parent households. Today? Flip that number. As of recent data, over 70% of black children are born to single mothers. And this isn’t some right-wing fever dream. It’s census data. The kind that makes sociology professors sweat during tenure review.
And what followed the rise in single motherhood? Well, let’s just say it wasn’t a utopia. Youth crime, incarceration, and poverty exploded in lockstep with the decline of the two-parent household. Children raised without fathers — across all races — are statistically more likely to drop out of school, commit violent crimes, go to prison, and live in poverty. You don’t need a Bible verse for that. Just open a Department of Justice report.
Welfare didn’t create poverty, but it sure learned how to subsidize it. It paid women to raise children without fathers and punished them if they got married. That’s not social safety. That’s behavioral engineering by bureaucrats who thought family structure was just a “cultural construct.”
In short: we took some of the previously most resilient people group in American history — who held together through slavery and Jim Crow and we're voting primarily Republican after they got the right to do so — and Democrats offered them a trade: financial scraps in exchange for family collapse. And we called it “progress.”
To better solve a problem so you need to understand how they arose in the first place. Obviously something you don't practice. If you decide to respond try to have an IQ higher than the calorie count of a small bite of a fudge round.
