One Of America's Best

Today, people in general believe the young just lie about, play video games and generally contribute to the downward mobility within our society. You will find below... a surprising and refreshing collection of some of the most enlightening ideas I have read in years. Many Kudos to the brilliant 21-year-old woman who put them together and then put them to paper which was subsequently published on November 18, 2010 Waco Herald Tribune. It is truly a shame that two questions remain unanswered, Why, If Romney is so for America, didn't he think of these, and who is this woman and why isn't she in charge now?

Social Welfare Programs have no legitimate place in the governance of the Federal Republic. Until they are removed from the government's list of projects that have been empowered, we can only hope that bright young Americans will become involved, like this young woman, before our nation collapses from the economic strain of social programs.

"Put me in charge …

Put me in charge of food stamps. I’d get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho’s, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.

Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I’d do is to get women Norplant birth control implants or tubal ligations. Then, we’ll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine and document all tattoos and piercings. If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, smoke or get tats and piercings, then get a job.

Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks? You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your "home" will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your own place.

In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a "government" job. It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you. We will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the "common good."

Before you write that I’ve violated someone’s rights, realize that all of the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules.. Before you say that this would be "demeaning" and ruin their "self-esteem," consider that it wasn’t that long ago that taking someone else’s money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self-esteem.

If we are expected to pay for other people’s mistakes we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.
