What if I told you I had a government plan that would eventually result in no children living in poverty? The title is "The Compassion For Children Act of 2009". If you're an Obama follower, you would probably cheer this plan without ever considering the details of the plan. In fact, anyone who would dare to go against this plan must be mean and uncaring... probably a right wing monster!
Here's the plan - The government would set up a system that would allow couples to have children only after extensive government interviews and financial statement reviews. The couples must meet guidelines that would be set up by government bureaucrats for each child. These guidelines must be met every year for the life of each child, otherwise the couple may be required to give the child up for adoption to another couple that meets the requirements and/or the couple may have to pay stiff penalties until the requirements are met. If they refuse to comply, they will be imprisoned.
Shortly after implementation of this plan, only families that meet the strict government guidelines, and have the financial means necessary to raise children will have them. Ultimately no poor people would be allowed to have children under this plan, thus no children would be living in poverty.
... This is an extreme position to make a point. The title of a plan may look good and opponents can be made to look bad by opposing it, but it's what is in a plan that counts for a lot more than titles imply. Are politicians in Washington listening??? I guess we will soon find out. READ THE HEALTH PLAN BEFORE YOU VOTE ON IT!!!
