Our responsibility: Letters for Wednesday, Nov. 4

Re "Half of U.S. kids on food stamps" : This article made me angry, embarrassed and very sad that as the richest nation in the world, we do not provide for our youngest and most vulnerable in our society.

Has it ever occurred to you that many people are having kids they cannot afford? How many of these children were born out of wedlock? Not everybody has a right to breed, especially so if they can't support these children. Don't blame us, blame irresponsible breeders.

Patrick Wier and Clay Porlier are right on target in their responses to Arthur Blaustein's commentary on Prop. 13. He completely ignores the spending problem in Sacramento. Until the politicians learn to live within their means, like the rest of us who are working to pay their salaries, this problem will only get worse.
