Yes, I totally agree that welfare, EBT cards and food stamps are counter to patriotic American values and should be phased out. I'd say restricting it to citizens alone is a first step. Then kicking off every healthy able bodied person. For those grown dependent perhaps a work program similar to WPA and converting benefits to paycheck with trade skill training involved for jobs in demand. There's all sorts of trades from plumbing to electrical to roofing to landscaping, concrete work, building trades, welding, fitting, layout, heating and air conditioning and on and on that require no education besides basic high school. Then require women to be married to apply for aid. Single women being married to social services as a provider is a curse on this nation. Divorce should be rare and based on fault. Like Russia we need a law that two strikes and you're out. In Russia if you are twice divorced the federation will no longer recognize a third marriage. That's just for social stability. Couple doesn't love each other or fell out of love? Tough shit. You don't have to love each other to raise children and be responsible. Of course it helps but love is just an emotion. People today confuse infatuation with love. They get all this garbage off the entertainment industry and when it doesn't work out like in the movies they want to find someone new. Then the state makes it all easy by supporting the woman and going after the man for money. So, the state in effect makes back stabbing a man seem like a good idea and men in response refuse to commit. Our government has turned men in to cucks step aside to let the government have first say in their family life. A hundred years ago a man let his woman stay at home and raise the kids, cook, clean, sew and keep the house running. She was happier for it and so was he and the kids. A woman's role was well defined and well rewarded. A man who abused his wife was looked down on in society. A man who had a happy wife and well behaved kids was admired. He made decisions and he was responsible for those decisions good or bad. Churches were important because they were often the last line of defense against financial disaster. Communities would often chip in and help a neighbor in distress. Amish and Mennonites still function this way and their communities are better off for it. And here's another thing, blacks did better with segregation. Oh hell, yess. I went there. Desegregation was the end of black wealth as stupid black people flocked to white owned businesses. Blacks back then were actively competing with whites to be better educated and more successful. They had to be to survive. They knew damn well there was no government coming to rescue them from poverty. Now, they've gone from being dependent on welfare to making it a part of their culture. White Christians at least understand there is value in work and getting an education.
