I'm not so sure that the welfare abusers are the minority.....I think the majority are milking the system. Welfare should be a temporary safety net, much like unemployment benefits. Unfortunately, for most on welfare, it seems to be a lifestyle.

Well, actually I do KNOW that the majority do NOT milk the system. You cannot simply live on welfare for life anymore. You cannot. Absolutely impossible.

Wait a second, did I hear right? THIRD CHILD AT 17!! Who are these girl's parents? Was she raised by a pack of wolves, does she have no morals? I'm wondering if they were all by the same father or do her kids each have a different father? Another fine example of the declining state of our society. I just hope that our tax dollars are not supporting her and her children.

Her mother probably had her when she was 17 also...and probably by someone in her family...nothing like breeding your own so you can milk the system more and more...

Yes, it sounds like taking advantage of the system by having kids. She has made a career of having children and now we are paying for it.

This is one of the most vile sentences I have seen.

You garner no respect or sympathy and deserve none.
Anyone who condones this type of writing .. shames the women in your family.

If this is your version of civilized ... no thank you ...

Well, Eyes...that's why we have the constitutional right to freedom of speech...but, in reality, it happens...just because that doesn't make the newspapers or evening news on 69 doesn't mean it's not happening in America!!
