There is an easy answer to the future continuation of this problem

I heard one of those charitable institution commercials yesterday that began by stating:

One of every six children in the US lives in poverty.*

I have no doubt at the truth of such statement. It is alarming and sad that we have so many underprivileged children living within our borders. But I have the distinct feeling that it is very rare that any of those impoverished children are the only child in their family. This immediately points to the real cause of this problem. People who cannot afford to support their children should not continue to have more children.

*OK, OK, I admit that this may not be exactly what was stated. It is what I remember being stated.

First, if you are receiving any type of government aid that keeps youor your children fed, clothed, or sleeping under a roof, you should be on Norplant. Once you abrogate your duty to provide the necessities of life for your self or for your children, you also give up the right to bring others into the same situation.
