I think stay-at-home moms should get a SS benefit.

I worked hard raising 3 kids, my husband was a teacher, and we never had much $. Why shouldn’t moms get SS benefits too? Do men not understand all the hard work that goes into keeping a home running and your children clean, clothed, fed, educated, etc.? With no help from family, I might add. I guess some men don’t consider it work.

Another example of exemption. I am a single father, that worked my whole life and raised my daughter when her mon died of cancer when our daughter was 10. I know the work involved in raising a child. Also a teacher myself with minimal $$. My problem is to the epidemic of unmarried young women that continue to have children for the funds. It is a huge occurrence in rural WNC.

"Having babies should not be a for profit business?"

I don't understand this. Are you buying into some "welfare queen" myth?

Because denying benefits to mothers is a great way to torture children.

If that is the intent, it isa no starter.

If that isn't the intent, the messaging doesn't work.

That work hard would love larger families but the cost of a child limits their desire to do so. Where I live there is a large population of barely high school grads and drop outs that pop out babies for cash. That is just a fact. Sounds cold to say, but I have two family members in Social Services that cry about the abuse they see of many of those children. Many circumstances make a broad brunch approach to the situation wrong, extreme poverty and lack of jobs here contribute. But there is an abuse of the system that should be addressed. Just an opinion. Means little to others I am sure.
