Prevent people on Welfare from continuing to have children every few years solely to keep receiving welfare benefits.

Created by T.V. on January 05, 2014

In my home state of NY people receiving welfare continue to have a child every 4-5 years in order to stay on welfare.

I did a college research paper on welfare in NY state. Everyone I interviewed said President Clinton caped food stamp benefits to five years. However if you continue to have a child every 4-5 years you can then receive food stamps for another 5 years. In NY unless they recently changed the law food stamps covers up to family of 8.

I am not saying the gov has the right to say you cant have a baby, but if you are on welfare and continue to have kids your saying YOU can support them without the government.

I asked that last question to the people I interviewed, and every one of them gave me dirty look and said this interview is over. Then they walked away.
