Very sad story yet this is the picture of the minorities in America.
Not all mind you..but a good many are walking down this path.
She's 33 years old, has multiple kids by multiple fathers. With her oldest kid at 18 she has been living this lifestyle since she was 15 years old. Sad state of America.
Yeeeaaaaaahh...no, they'd rather you believe everyone is a victim of their circumstances who would all turn into model citizens if only given half a chance...or half a million bucks.
I understand the outrage, but acting as if liberals are the only ones complicit in the demise of America insures that you'll continue to partake in it.
I don't think they're saying that liberals are the only ones responsible. I think they're saying the liberal predisposition to throw money at social problems is not the answer.

Stan, one question, if this women has partaken in the government support since the age of 15 and her oldest child is 18, they would mean that Republicans were throwing money at the very same social program that she has partaken in for the last 18 years, Correct?

Can you provide any articles or data that indicate that this is ONLY a minority issue? Are you stating with a FACT that NOT one WHITE person falls within this picture? Its comments like these that negate any point they you were attempting to make.

Bingo. 15 years covers the span of Dem & Repub majority rule.
She is but one person whose history we know.
How many others are living like this ?
The answer is not throwing MORE money at these programs.
These programs are not working. Time to try something else..really it's time.
I've said it once, i'll say it again: PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY, or the lack thereof, is the downfall of this nation. Sadly, our government is partly responsible for promoting this behavior.
Another fine example of the liberal mantra "Free Love For All, No Matter The Cost, No Matter The Consequence."

Yep. It sure does. But it's not the republicans I know who want to continue these programs or create new programs to throw money and benefits at poor people willy nilly.
I mean, aren't we the ones who are always accused of not caring about the poor?
I care about the poor. I do more for the poor than the most liberal friend I have (which is pretty damn liberal - gay and works at a university!). But I don't think the solution is wealth redistribution...it's been proven repeatedly that if you give money to those who didn't earn it, the vast majority lose it, spend it foolishly, etc. They don't use it to reinvest in themselves.
