What?!

Purple.  Definitely not blue, definitely not red.  Purple!

At a recent get together with a bunch of friends, several of us began talking.

"Yep, the kids are on Medicaid," the young farmer said. 

"Medicaid?" inquired my environmentally active friend.

"Both kids," the father said.

"They paid for everything.  Pay up until they are five.  We don't make enough to have insurance."

He went on to say since his social worker wife quit to have the baby, their income has really dropped. 

It may be irrelevant to mention the young mother's father is a well known lawyer, the young mother's mother is a nurse. 

Medicaid.

I have a real issue with this.  Why is it so many feel entitled to have babies and have the taxpayers foot the bill? If you can't afford children, wait until you can.  It isn't my responsibility.  It used to be yours.

But this doesn't end here.  It is ubiquitous.  People feel entitled to munch off the public coffers.

Enough I say.  Enough!
