If you can't work, don't have kids

I think President Roosevelt had the best idea when he started the WPA. People had to do work for their check. They had to clean up roads and cut wood in Wisconsin. My dad said they would earn that check each month.

A lot of jobs are there if people would try.

We don't start at $20 an hour. No more free rides, making our youth lazy.

I'm 85 years old and can still work all day long doing lawn work, mow grass, clean house and do a lot of odd jobs. Free rides should come to an end. If you can't work, don't produce more children.
