Re: Thank you!

Good idea in concept and makes everyone feel like a wrong will be righted ... But is a really stupid idea that will be nearly impossible to enforce and has a million unintended consequences.

What happens when a baby mama tests positive for weed and her welfare checks / food stamps are cut off? Does the state automatically take the kids? If so, do we have the resources to deal with that? The short answer is "NO." Or let's say they don't take the kids. Are the kids better off with a mama that now has no money, food, diapers, etc?

I wish the right-wingers that propose these sorts of things and cheer the loudest for them would think them all the way through and let us know their plan for all of it, not just the cutting off part. Like it or not, thousands and thousands of kids will be affected by this and they never did a damn thing wrong, other than to have the misfortune of being born to a bad parent. Now we want to make their lives even harder and more miserable?

We conservatives often criticize the left for lofty ideals that can't be applied in the real world or for not thinking their utopian ways completely through. However, this sort law is exactly that. I would love to hear the whole plan for this... Lord knows we're not going to get rid of drugs, poverty or welfare by doing this. It seems to me, we just shift the costs to a different agency or have to create more government jobs to deal with it.

OK right-wingers, fire back
