Social Security and Medicare are not entitlement programs. Both are insurance plans paid for by its participants. Medicaid, on the other hand is welfare. People on welfare do not contribute to the program. Welfare was originally designed to assist people who fall on hard times through “no fault of their own”. Most of today’s welfare recipients, however, make a conscious choice to go on the public dole. A young couple would be foolish to get married and lose all the benefits a single mother can obtain. Now you know how those welfare mothers can afford G-4 cell phones, custom nails and newer model cars. The ticket to getting free housing, food, clothing, shelter and healthcare is being single and getting pregnant. Abusive boyfriends and or the fathers come along for the free ride.
Medicaid accounts for 25% of most State budgets and matched by the Federal Government who collects State revenues to pay its share. In other words, State governments now spend approximately 50% of their entire budgets on dead beat non-producing citizens. Single unwed mothers get the bulk of these “entitlements” for simply practicing unprotected sex and having multiple births with numerous men. In fact, China and hard working American taxpayers are paying the bills for unwed mothers and their offspring. Biological fathers rarely are made to pay child support.
40% of all births in the United States are to unwed mothers. Florida’s rate is 43%. 73% of black babies are born to single unwed mothers. 85% of all prison inmates come from single unwed mothers. 50% of all children attending public schools get subsidized breakfasts. China had it right when it recently admonished us for our social welfare programs. We have become a third rate debtor nation.
