Honestly if we really want to solve the problems presented by hunger and poverty we have to start by putting an end to rewarding people for having children that they cannot afford. Forget the racial nonsense because this crosses almost all racial lines. Simply put you get a raise by having more kids that you can support without more government handouts, these kids grow up in the system and all too often grow up to do the same thing. This culture has to stop because at some point the system will collapse.

Now I will be the first to say that to stop it cold turkey so to speak would be cruel but we have to start thinking and looking forward and phase this type of thing out entirely.
