The City of New York released a host of stats on birth rates, death rates, the number of abortions, etc... For the most part this information was fairly routine, but one statistic in particular raises an eyebrow. According to the city's Health Department over half (52%) of the city's births were paid for by Medicaid.

Over 70,000 mothers, many of whom were single mom's have chosen to have children they can't afford, perpetuating an endless cycle of party largely because they are too selfish and irresponsible to be held accountable for their own actions.

Sadly, for many of these children, they will know nothing of the value of an education, they will know nothing of a strong work ethic, they will know nothing of the concept of individual responsibility. They will, however, quickly come to expect reward, regardless of effort, they will demand wages and handouts disproportionate to their worth. Above all, we can expect them to remain solidly loyal to America's leftist demagogues, ensuring a new generation of Democratic voters for the City of New York. While advocates for the "poor" (ie, lazy) will argue such handouts are entirely justified and should be increased, the exact opposite is true.

As long as this country continue to reward idleness and sloth, this country will continue to falter...New York City, however, is not alone. Across the country in every city and town this mentality is perpetuated. In the halls of Congress it is promoted by the same economically ignorant politicians who call for an increase in the minimum wage, further rewarding those who have squandered every opportunity to be a success. This scene is also repeated throughout the world. In one developing country after another, teh parade of irresponsibility marches on with devastating results...
