It has become very much a lifestyle.

To the poster about socialism - in fact, the same problems have made the capitalist system equally a complete failure.

Amen!

How sad how this lady is looking for help and what she gets is everything but that...nobody knows her story but are quick to judge. Yes, I am employeed NOT on public assistance!!! But 20 years ago was abandoned by my husband with 2 year old twins and another one on the way, and I had to depend on welfare for a while.

Rolanda, everything has changed so much so I really dont know where to send you for help but I wish you the best and hope you get on your feet soon. God bless you!!
