Bill That Ties Welfare to School Grades

[gene cisco]

I know that's the point and that's the point that's wrong. The vast majority of young women don't calculate first and get pregnant, it happens in the reverse. In fact, as the dropping teen rate seems to imply, more of them are calculating first and not getting pregnant.



That's where they need to be if the father has abandoned them, gene.
And, boy it's hard to keep ya'll focused, this bill here hits everyone on assistance, whether you would consider them "abusers" or not, making a bad situation worse.

Some women have no incentive to pick a mate when welfare exists. So they are much more likely to have kids by men who ain't shit. The dropping teen rate is like being happy about a 450 pound man who has dropped down to 400 pounds. The dude is still a fat ass. The cat needs to be 200 pounds.

To be clear, I'm against the bill in Tennessee. Folks were just talking in general. We clearly stated our opinions about this bill. A female poster cosigned another poster about food stamps. People were talking about other things. That's what happens on BGOL. Folks just acknowledged the abuse others claim is made up.

Teen birth rates differ substantially by age, racial and ethnic group, and region of the country. Most adolescents who give birth are 18 or older; in 2011, 71 percent of all teen births occurred to 18- to 19-year-olds.^[1] Birth rates are also higher among Hispanic and black adolescents than among their white counterparts. In 2011, Hispanic adolescent females ages 15-19 had the highest birth rate (49.4 births per 1,000 adolescent females), followed by black adolescent females (47.4 births per 1,000 adolescent females) and white adolescent females (21.8 births per 1,000 adolescent females) (see Figure 1).^[5] Estimates from 2010 data show that one in seven adolescent females (14.4%) in the United States will give birth by her 20th birthday, with substantial differences by race/ethnicity: 10 percent of white adolescent females, 21 percent of black adolescent females, and 24 percent of Hispanic adolescent females.

You can't tell me something isn't wrong with that 21 percent number. We already know the teen birth rate is crazy, but the 21 percent of women having babies by 20 is crazy. Most of them will be single. You can't tell me that's good decision making. And we both know Uncle Sam is helping to fuel the shit.

Who the fuck has money at 16, 17, 18 or 19 for a baby? And we already know that shit isn't popping off in middle-class homes. People find that shit embarrassing. It's more accepted in trailer parks and the hood.

What the fuck? some are to give more to these fucks to reward them for doing what they are supposed to do anyway???? no wonder some black people vote republican. People like you want tax payers to pay more to some fuck who shouldn't have had a kid in the first place if they couldn't afford him... But we are supposed to give more to her more money for doing what every responsible parent does anyway???

Yes, I said supplies (for school) or day care. You have to break the cycle someplace. But fuck it, lets keep the shit going.

I guess a "brother" like you never lost a job or had hard times or a death in the family. Welfare is supposed to be temporary, this bill will ensure that people stay on it.

boy it's hard to keep ya'll focused

where are the numbers that support the arguments being made for this shit? the whole "we have all seen the abusers smoking weed in jags loaded with groceries in the strip club parking lot" feels a lot like the voter fraud bullshit, pinning the crimes of half a percent on the whole because it lines up with some ideology

are there numbers to support the level of fraud that some of you are asserting?

Apples and oranges... If someone happens to fall on hard times I'm all for giving them all the help they need. Thats not the case with these bum ass project bitches. They are poor to begin with, then they have multiple kids that they can't afford. They constantly have their hands out like it's our responsibility to take care of them...

These ghetto bitches are a cancer to society and need to be dealt with. No more aid or assistance for them.
