Question

Why dosen't Bush put more money into stoping child poverty???

Answer 1

It is not the govenments responsibility to get you out of poverty. It is YOURS. The govenment already puts too much money into social programs taking away from the fact that people need to depend on themselves more than the govenment.

Answer 2

Email me with how you would stop poverty? I would love to hear that. If a child is in danger Someone should report the parents. Child protective services gets involved and either corrects the situation or removes the child. There is very little poverty in the US .The democrats have had a war against poverty since the 60's and there are about the same amount of impoverished people as then. Even though they have sunk Billions into preventing it. There is a segment of the population that will not do for themselves. They enjoy their lives of leisure and nothing we do or no amount of money we give them will make them want to better themselves. If you cannot succeed in America you do not want to.

Answer 3

Because the last allotment ended up in the cash drawer of the local liquor store. The problem with giving money for child poverty is that it usually has to go through the parents. I've seen these very people buy small items with food stamps and use the change to buy a 44. Touching isn't it.

Answer 4

How many years has there been the so called war on poverty? Yet there are people that have children knowing they cannot afford to take care of themselves. It is not the governments job or money to stop poverty. It is their job to make sure you have opportunities to pursue a better life, but the decisions you make in life will determine the outcome!

Answer 5

Ask the child's parents first. If the child has no parents ask the child's next of kin or the local churches. Sometimes we have to try to help ourselves, not stand there looking around for a handout. By the way, was the poverty problem a non-issue under the Clinton administration? And do you think it will be resolved if there were another Clinton administration (God help us all)?

Answer 6

Why won't be able to the mum and dad? i think of this is the accountability of the mum and dad to renounce teenager being pregnant, no longer the government. the government is the reason there is a lot teenager being pregnant. See there is extremely little result to having unprotected teenager intercourse. the teenager gets pregnant and remains frequently happening by skill of the discern or the society via fact she would be able to the two have a federally funded abortion via planned parenthood, or deliver together WIC, foodstuff stamps, welfare, and area 8 Housing from the government. changing the father with a welfare examine. Passing out condoms in college. offering day care centers in intense faculties. the better the government makes it to be pregnant, the greater teenager being pregnant's there will be.

Answer 7

Because the neocons have been running the show for the last 12 years in Congress. And their "approach" (based on what they've said) is that anyone who is poor is that way because they choose to be poor, either out of laziness, lack of ambition, or lack of ability. And, so the rhetoric goes, since they choose to be poor, taxpayer money ought not to be used to support those in poverty--including children.

Having said this, they then hop in their $35000 SUV and head off to their megachurch so they can show everyone what a "good Christian" they are.

Answer 8

because billions of dollars per year is spent on health care for illegal aliens....I can't imagine the US would have any kind of crisis in health care or education if American taxpayers money was used for Americans instead of illegal alien criminals in our country......don't understand why the NAACP hasn't joined with other anti-illegal groups to stop this traversity....Mexico is a very rich country why doesn't the US propose sanctions if they don't care for their own..we do it to every other country abusing their citizens.....

I read all the comments about welfare people...they are what the government has made them.....just enough money hopefully not to starve...you cannot expect action from people that have not been taught...I mean the basics..children are not born all knowing..they must be taught...that is where our government has failed..we give them just enough money to get by but do not put any conditions with that money - basic housekeeping, basic childcare, basic cooking....if there were conditions & accountability all of society would benefit....

Answer 9

And just how should the government stop it? By giving money to the parents? That won't work as most would use the money for themselves and not the children. People are greedy and until they learn to work for themselves to solve their own issues instead of depending on everyone to house and feed them, the problem will never be solved.

Answer 10

Be more specific. (and did you ask that question when Clinton was president?) What about child poverty. You can't fix most problems by throwing money at it. You need to fix the cause of the problems. Lazy, absent, dead beat or mentally ill parents.
