Hitler convinced the mass that their poor state was due to 'THOSE OTHERS' to divert attention from failed economic policies. Will we allow history to repeat itself out of ignorance and poor education?
Food Stamps are provided to the disabled, low income Seniors, Active Duty Military, among others. That the GOP continues to support IGNORANCE, ignore FACTS and tolerate this kind of idiocy does not speak well.
How have we so lost our humanity that Americans can endorse a WAR ON THE POOR? Why should Americans go hungry?
Republican Lawmaker Advocates “STERILIZING Women As A Condition For Receiving Food Stamps”
A Republican has suggested that women should be sterilized as a condition for receiving food stamps.
The former lawmaker helped push Arizona’s “papers please” immigration law resigned after he made this comment.
Russell Pearce was a former state senator who talked about the state’s public assistance programs, he declared: “You put me in charge of Medicaid, the first thing I’d do is get Norplant, birth-control implants, or tubal ligations…Then we’ll test recipients for drugs and alcohol, and if you want to [reproduce]or use drugs or alcohol, then get a job.”
Days later, Pearce said that he wasn’t aware of why people would talk about his comments, saying he didn’t understand “what all the fuss was about,” adding “I was holding back pretty hard when I said what I did.” Asked to elaborate to see how far he would go, the former lawmaker argued, “Finding employment as a condition for having children, using alcohol and drugs is not even half of it. Right now our biggest problem are food stamps, and that’s the part of the story nobody seems to want to deal with.”
“A lot of lazy people seem to have mistaken the government for a charity. That’s not how things were meant to work,” Pearce said. “And food stamps are draining the budget faster than it takes a drunkard to kill a bottle of whiskey. And this is not the case with Arizona alone; this is going on nationwide. We need to put this under control or else we’re looking at bankruptcy. And everybody is making jokes about it instead of trying to find a solution. Well, I have.”
Pearce explained “we need to limit food stamp access to women who have been sterilized,” and how “that’s the only way of separating the ones who are willing to work for food from those who aren’t.”, and added “In order to be able to feed a baby, you first need to be able to feed yourself. That’s a pre-requisite in this case. What can I say, there’s no such thing as a free lunch.”
“Bottom line – if you want food stamps, you’re going to have to be sterilized,” Pearce summarized his proposition…”
