benefits for each child over two that they give birth to. What's the incentive to keep having children and staying on welfare if you lose money on the deal?

I would have to agree. I'm tired of working so hard so that I can help fund others' irresponsible behavior. If people are so hard up...how about acting responsibly? Don't have more kids than you can afford! I only have two kids cause having kids is expensive! That's a choice I had to make if I was going to continue offering my children the standard of living they're accustomed to. If others want to have an infinite amount of children then I shouldn't be held responsible for their irresponsible behavior.
I work, work overtime, AND run a home-based business just to make sure that the entire family is fed and that we have everything we need. THEN I see (I'm sure some of you have too!) an entire family rolling around on a brand new SUV and pay for their groceries with food stamps and EBT cards...how in the hell is that possible!?
I say get them a job and an education and quit subsidizing irresponsibility. The entire country pays for it in the end when those children end up imprisoned and without an education because of childhood neglect they suffered. The question begs to be asked..."how good a parent can you be when you have more kids than you can responsibly handle?" Obviously, not a very good one.
It's been said before and I'll say it again: "Teach someone HOW to fish and you'll feed them forever." We need to be educating these parents and getting them jobs instead of just handing over the fish.

I like the idea, It's time that people take responsibility for thier actions. It's like my ex, welfare was paying for her school and everything, until she found out that they planned on finding her a job after she got her diploma, so she quit school. She has had 4 kids since then and has a boyfriend that doesnt work and takes her check every month. It's crazy, all the stuff that welfare gives people, when here we are, working our butts off to get where we are. Don't get me wrong there is a lot of good people on welfare that are doing the best that they can , but there is a lot losers that take advantage of the system. That's pretty sad when people collect welfare, have section 8 housing, and are driving a new SUV or Cadillac. The welfare system is ridiculous

I think the government should relocate the welfare recipients to places that has plenty of jobs like Southern Alabama, ect... and help them out for a couple of months till they get back on their feet and the ones who doesn't want to work I say take the children away and stop the money going to the parents.

The government needs to do something, too many people take advantage of the system.

Bush is already on his second round of welfare reform.

What if your religion forbids birth control? That's religeous persecution.
