We've discussed this before, why go over it again? A fair number of women who are poor had their children when they were married or in a stable relationship.
Somehow I doubt it.

Nothing has been learned in centuries, and there but the grace of God goes anyone, no matter how much you hate the poor. The lack of empathy and humanity is sad.

Especially that of the people that have sex and have no concern for its consequences.
Lol, yes, because that's the only reason people are poor... right... Gotta keep the BS "it's all their fault" narrative going. And what of their kids? Right-wingers hate them, too, which is absurd since they don't even have a choice of being born into poverty.
Each and everyone one of the spiteful extremists raging on this thread about the poor needs to remember that were it not for a twist of luck, they'd have ended up in the same situation. And, unless you're independently wealthy, it could STILL happen to you. Everyone is just one horrible medical expense or long-term unemployment away from poverty in some form, so at least try to show some empathy.
Tuition- there's the 'excuse'. in 1990 tuition and fees for a California State University were about $1300-$1400 per academic year, inflation adjusted that is around $2400. In 2017 fees and tuition for a California State university range from $6800 - $9400 depending on the campus. If I had the time I would do a similar comparison in the price of textbooks, but I think i made my point.
Yes & No.
While the sticker price has increased dramatically, almost no one pays the sticker price. Everyone receives a discount off the sticker price of academia. It is really all about the next cost, not the sticker price.
money madness? Tell that to a single mom with two infants who can't get child care so she can get a job and instead lives on $383 in welfare cash.
Why did she choose to have children out of wedlock? You forgot to factor in the child support from the father. It appears her 2 children are living proof she has poor impulse control, poor decision making skills, and even worse judgment. Yeah, those are the qualities of a good future employee.

No one said anyone "hated" anyone; typical emotional response.
As I said in my original post, workfare would help EVERYONE, including the poor themselves.
