If the companies were fined for this hiring practice...it would help tremendously. BUT there is another problem. Where would the company get people to work?? We need to cut the payment of welfare to people who are ABLE to work but choose not to. They will NOT starve. Guess what?? They will actually find a job. If we need to address this problem in a way that we would have to call it work fare..OK. Welfare for those who are NOT able to work...Not one penny for the rest. One child on welfare..Have a second and you lose the money for the first...and lose them both to adoption....or have the ladies tubes tied after the first. Harsh , you say?? How many children did you have? How many can you support. Well if you had the normal average...you are supporting every other one that is born...even if they are not yours. Is that right. Yep..it is harsh but it does make sense. We cannot afford to pay for all the welfare kids and the illegal kids and our own too. It just goes against all common sense. But wait till Obama is president...he'll find a way to pay for all this...but it will be more coming out of YOUR pockets. That is his brand of change... More taxes to pay for the ones who choose not to work. Now I am going to bed. Got to get over my rant!
