LETTER: State model

Middle-class parents now frequently decide to have only a couple kids, often even only one. But I’m referring to middle-class parents; you know, a husband and wife, both gainfully employed.

The but here is that they waited. Waited till they had careers or at least some semblance of. Until they’d completed college, then gotten jobs. Until they were married.

Washington state now though has an entirely different model through the genius of the state’s Legislature.

As any woman of any age can simply find a guy and create a child. And then be paid by the state for doing such.

Forget the job. Never mind becoming educated or at least trained for a career. No need bothering with marrying either.

Housing, groceries, cash assistance, tax refunds, though they didn’t work, PUD bill assistance paid by others, even working poor others.

The list of perks is endless.

If you do this during a pandemic, the bonuses monumental.

No money, no job? Then have a kid. If you’re in the state of Washington at least.

Can’t afford your children? Then have another. In return, you’ll receive more rewards.

You can worry about jobs, schooling, working and other such trivial things later.

Because you’re now on the rewards program for mothers. Funded entirely by the taxpayer.

You needn’t worry about anything at all. The state has you covered.

They only need one small thing from you, the name of the man who is to blame for this.

Welcome to insanity legislated into law.
