I have not seen any poor people with gold jewelry, and fancy cars. You are fabricating a story because you can do not better. You may be right if you definition of poor is not reporting or paying illegal cash flow from drugs and underdealings to federal government. The people that are referring to drug dealers, and hustlers, and not poor people.

There seem to be some very good reasons for government to understate inflation.

We aren't victimizing children at all. The problem is that there is a growing number of children born by single parents who cannot care for their children, and even by couples as well. The only people being victimized are couples who are responsible and wait to have children at the right time who have to feed these fools. We have a system that supports the dumbest, most ignorant members of society at the expense of others. The stable responsible families are cutting back to live within their means and therefore having less children, while the poor pop out babies like it is their job. This type of irresponsibility cannot go unchanged, and subsidizing it is clearly not helping. If we don't support those families that doesn't mean we aren't supporting the innocent children. It means we are forcing their deadbeat mother and/or father to work.

Well it depends on how you define the problem. Lets go with "reducing the poverty rate".

A great thing to do would be to reduce the rate at which people who can't afford children have them. Though if you don't have a support network to raise the child and the father ditches that includes about everybody who isn't upper middle class.

I rather like the idea of sending them off to boarding school to learn a different way to live. But that's expensive.

But I think a more practical short term measure would be more daycare type options at a range of appropriate jobs. Or otherwise have cheaper access to daycare. This would let the single mothers get to work (and in situations where jobs with daycare are known to be open force them to take them).

I would also immediatly revoke all restrictions on African American babies being adopted by people of other race. This might mean more babies and children get put up for adoption and would get more out of the system. Actually I think that would help in a lot of way.

The other thing would be to try and create more jobs that pay enough to keep out of poverty. I think education could help a lot here.

they interviewed the shut up white-boy lady from L.A. and she had a huge wide screen TV in her living room . shes been on welfare her entire life , there is allot of waste in the system

At $7 per hour a person earns $14,000 per year.

The poverty level is $10,078.

Irrelevant.

Yes you can live on that. You can a roof over your head, food in your belly, and have the necessities. It's not fun, but doable.

Thing is, most minimum wage jobs are entry-level, meaning you're not meant to do it forever. You have to apply yourself, learn a little, and show some motivation. Then you can move up to a level when you can start enjoying life a bit.
