How Government Assistance and Welfare create an endless cycle of poverty and teen pregnancy!


Hi. I'd just like to discuss the welfare system and how it poses a threat to the people it's supposed to be helping. The welfare system is supposed to help those, who need to "get on their feet", but does it? Or does it keep people trapped in a cycle of low income housing, EBT Cards, and the expectation for a monthly government check you recieve all for just filling out an application stating that it's an absolute neccesity.This system makes people complacent and dependent, discouraging famililies to attain actual employment for fear of decreasen benefits. Developing and investing into your self worth could also be an option for acquiring an even grander lifestyle! But rather than making their children there motivation for a better lifestyle , they make there kids their main excuse for why they no longer have that opportunity anymore! Many woman are even beginning to use pregnancy as a way to get housing! Especially since the Government has it pretty much set up a system for woman who have kids and no money to get housing, so long as they stay in a shelter for a short period of time. There are young woman and older woman who have a place of residency(especially at parents house[Statisically subsidized- Hense, the cycle] but choose to "sacrifice" living in a shelter to get an apartment they don't have to actually be productive for! It sucks for those who have to work and pay taxes, but probably don't get to live in our own place without roommates, who are trying to do things the logical and sustainable way. The Government pretty much helps the unproductive and punishes the tax papers!

Well, I'm WIDE AWAKE! Information Technology, Manufacturing, or ANY good job that requires a college education has been outsourced overseas for cheaper labor. Another thing is really all of these B.S. service-sector jobs that keep working people poor as dirt!But here is something that working people should be aware of: WORKERS BEING MISCLASSIFIED AS INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS! The new "trend" for employers to cheat workers out of wages, overtime, unemployment benefits, sick days, etc.

Mezzia... u are educated and have good sense. chances are u had a good parent(s). It all starts with having parents teach the children by SHOWING them how and why. All the people dependent on welfare are owned by the government. They live through and by the system. Their lives are predetermined from month to month. I would much rather make my own choices and live my own life, rather than be dependent on some entity. We should only be dependent on our parents until it's time to fly the coop.

Next... comes a gas card!! Yep...with fuel prices going high.. they need money for gas to make it to the grocery store to spend their EBT money! It's only going to get worse...

OK, so you have stated the obvious. Now the question is what are you doing to help the issue. Anyone can post a blurb, but what was your intent behind posting this. We all agree with your point but what is your next step....................?

By the way abstitenence is the only way, to not get pregnant, but look at the times we are living in, sexual images everywhere, less clothes people wear, peer pressure, can't be surprised all of the young people having sex look at what people are being exposed to in music, film, etc. Also, even with condoms and birth control doesn't mean a girl can't get pregnant. Even with your tubes tied you could get pregnant. More than 1/2 of the pregnancies in the USA are unplanned.

Also, you could be married, have a husband who you think is a good guy, you get pregnant, he leaves you pregnant for someone else. Marriage doesn't always guarantee a guy is a good man. Also, the at will hiring process basically means you could be fired for no reason that is your fault, and most states adapt this policy, so you could very well be a good employee making good pay, and lose your job. You never know. I think more videos should be made on economic collapse/revolution because of greed

If it wasn't for the Chinese we wouldn't even have any money to begin with, all the money we borrow from them, eventually one day they may not want to help us out. At the rate things are going we could never pay them back for the billions or trillions we owe them. At the rate things are going, with the economy, world events, wars, even if you are 26-30 years old, with a Master's degree, married, you may not be able to afford a family or even yourself.

What about people who apply for scholarships, is it the same for them too, do they not try to pay for college, to do better or study, they just can't afford the rising cost of college tuitions, just like many parents can't afford the rising costs of food, clothing, shelter, whether it be the family has one child or five children.
