Dear Editor

My name is Jada Randall. I am a sophomore at Early College High School in Conway.

I am writing to propose a possible solution to one of the many factors contributing to the United States’ very extended Economic Recession. Government assistance was created in order to help the poor, elderly, special cases and veterans. If this is it’s original purpose then why is it so much harder for the elderly to get food stamps and welfare benefits than the single mothers continuous producing children.

The lifestyle most single mothers live with bunches of children is not safe or healthy. Most public housing assistance residences are in the more poverty stricken areas. The needed amount of attention needed to provide to these children is most likely not given to them. This is a problem, maybe the doing the opposite is the solution.  Stop easily giving out assistance to single  mothers!

Sincerely

 Jada Randall

She Created Me

I wish I could say my life was a bad dream    

A replica of my mother                                       

Good to you it may seem                                  

Conceived in high school                                   

I am a Soccastee baby                                          

I don’t appreciate my father                                             

And why should I bother                                        

I am who he hates                                                 

A nightmare, His bad dream                                       

I am a replica of my mother                                

Asking why, Just why me                                  

I am a participant in incest                                   

I am a victim of rape                                              

No voice, no way to escape                                

Hay NO amor para me                                       

Only one on my team                                         

I am a replica of my mother                               

9 months has bought change                           

My father for a son, an exchange                                                   

Yet still no brightness in my day                     

Walfare money makes it okay                          

A non-exenstant level of self-esteem

I am a replica of my mother

I am my mother’s protégé

I guess that will make me a nothing

To this world i am nobody

Other than another project baby

7 kids and 10 years go by

Why can’t I leave you behind

I am you because you are me

I am a replica of my mother

Because she created me

Should Women That Have More Than 2 Children & Are Receiving Government Assistance, Be Infertilitized

            American citizen work hard for every dollar earned! The fact that a percentage of dollars goes to taxes is not the problem. The problem is that some people are using the system. Public housing, welfare, & food stamps are supposed to be help for less pillaged. Not at all women that are repeatedly having children & barley keeping a stable job, if one at all. People who commit this “crime” should be punished by having to take away their chances of fertility. While you can’t stop women from already collecting assistance to take care of their children, this option will eliminate the woman’s chance of reproduction.

            Single mothers receiving government assistance declined from 42% in 1996 to 29%, then in 2001 it started to rise again and by 2004 it increased to 42%, as said by the last census. (7 Facts About Government Benefits and Who Gets Them) Now. as of 2013, a benefits check showed that more than 61% present of women receive Government assistance. Of those 61% of women, 57% of them were single mothers who were receiving food stamps, welfare, housing assistance, WIC, or general assistance. (Participation of Mothers in Government Assistance Programs: 2004) With that also being said the amount of money you are entitled to depends on the income and amount of children.

Doing the math is not hard, a single mother, 5 children under the age of 18 and a minimum wage job. This is one of a few true solution to many economic, health and safety problems. The government and economics is far less important than the safety and health of the children born in to this type of lifestyle. Infertilizing is not very hard and cases like these not at all costly. The United States declining economy and the safety of the children born in these cases is the main reason why I choose to do this particular topic.
