@Lynda2475 please don't start. I respect your posts but....
Teenagers getting pregnant is a poor decision too. Do they know better? Probably not but that's still not an excuse with all the education they get.
You're assuming that everyone that's in debt thinks logically and knows exactly what they're doing. If you lived a month of my life you'd either commit suicide or end up in mental institution.
There are single mothers out there that have 3 or 4 kids to different fathers and yet society takes care of them.
Why wouldn't we help gamblers and those in debt?
The first thing we should do is make gambling illegal. Especially pokies online. It achieves nothing and helps no one other than greedy criminals.
Lock down pokies and do not allow low income earners to play. No its not everyone's right to be able to play pokies and throw away money. Do you realise there are kids who do not have adequate clothing or balanced meals? Do we ignore them?
Bring down credit card interest rates. If that means some of the rich lose benefits then it's a small sacrifice for the greater good of all.
