Having kids should largely be a financial decision. How to solve the welfare problem in America.  (EXPLICIT LANGUAGE WARNING).

Fellas, this one’s for you.

Debts are like children.  You create em.  You have to feed em.  Their life can be a month or 30 yrs.

By creating em, you get something on the front end.  A house, car, clothes, whatever.  You get the thing instantly, no 9 mo. waiting period for it to be born.

With Amazon next day shipping and a credit card, you can create a whole lot of debt children fast.  How many of them you can have is determined by how big your paycheck is.  Paying the bills reminds you how many kids you’ve got.

Ever abandoned a debt child and left someone else with the responsibility?  You decided you didn’t want to honor your contract whatever?  Kinda like getting someone pregnant and walking away leaving others to raise your offspring.  Who picked up the tab for the consequences of your spilled seed?

Walking away from a debt, your price paid might be lower credit scores, collection letters, or foreclosure.

When walking away from a child, the emotional price paid will be realized over time by you, the mother, and the child.  The monetary price society pays is instant and enormous.

Say hello to a part of the modern welfare state. One reason a community may be in shambles?  Single mothers with no dad in the house.  A mother dependent on a welfare check.  A broken family, broken neighborhood, broken city.

The state has become the father of your child.  And you wonder why an abandoned kid becomes part of the system, turns to gangs and crime.  They turn to gangs for safety.  They turn to crime for survival.  Then they fill the prisons and feed the corporate incarceration machine.

That machine isn’t totally to blame.  Its owners are just picking up where you left off.  They’re feeding, clothing, and housing your offspring.  You drained your balls and felt like a man for a few minutes.  Society gets drained of time, effort, and resources for decades.  

Imagine you get a bill in the mail and walk to every house on the block expecting neighbors to pitch in and pay your debt.

They’d tell you to get lost, get a job, and get off their porch.  

If your baby’s mom applies for welfare, your neighbors don’t see it.  It’s quiet.  The taxes they pay are their cost of your irresponsibility.  You get to avoid the embarrassment of begging others to pay your bill.  No need to beg, Uncle Sam’s got your back.

When I was a young man, a box of good condoms was about $12 bucks.  If you’re gonna fuck and don’t want kids,  be a man and spend the $12.  Don’t be a shit head and say, “It’s her responsibility to use protection.”  Don’t assume she’s on the pill. 

My high school civics teacher gave a nice piece of advice to us parting seniors.  He said, “Sex is just an energy.  Channel that energy wisely.”  He was a mormon I think.

My favorite bumper sticker said, “Porn, it’s cheaper than dating.”  It was a cartoon pic of a man holding a box of Kleenex with a big smile on his face.  You’ve got choices.  Think about it.

I’m not here to insult you.  I’m here to speak a bit of truth and offer a little tough love and encouragement.  Every action has consequences.  Some call it karma.

We all have a biological father.  Not all of us have a Dad.  I was lucky enough to have both.  If you don’t raise your children, someone else will.  And if someone else does, you’re opinion of how that turns out doesn’t count.  Unless you’re contributing financially.

Having kids should largely be a financial decision.  If you don’t have the coin, don’t drain your loins.
