I believe that at one time in my grandfathers' and fathers' generation, that the social safety net was set in put in place to act as just that. A safety net. It was like an insurance policy, and available for emergencies. Nowadays it seems that each and every social safety net is exploited for the convenience of it's very nature. To pay for people to make one baby after another. To sap the child-care fund unfairly. And yes, it is not the governemnts position to invest in your children. If you cannot afford 2 or 3, then don't make 2 or 3. Stop at 1. And lastly, to take the lazy slouches that live at home while they could be out working. Instead, take that financial cushion, and either retrain those who've lost their jobs. Or, invest in sending that person across the country where work may be available. If you want work, then work can be found. It matters not it is a step down. Have some pride and be thankful that you can provide without social welfare dependence. Because that dependant lifestyle can cause a social death long before the physical one becomes a reality. In the end, the socialy safety net is being abused and misused. Why do our governments continue to act powerless regarding these vary matters? It truly was not intended for what it was initially meant for. A helping hand in desperate times. And these are NOT desperate times. There is opportunity everywhere you look around you. But people are unambitious and lazy today. Instant gratification takes away your ambition. Whatever happend to good old fashioned hard work? a. Hammerstein
