I have never been more sickened in my life. The sense of entitlement that these people have is unreal.

With no job, five children and a boyfriend who is an unemployed former drug dealer just back from prison, Diane Greenfield has grown accustomed to life on the welfare roll. For a total of seven years, Greenfield - a former temp at a downtown law firm who has struggled with pot and PCP addictions - has been receiving city welfare checks.
Quote:
"Are they going to guarantee me a job to raise my kids?" asked Greenfield, who lives in an apartment in Southeast Washington operated by the nonprofit Community of Hope for those who have struggled with drug addiction. "If they don't, then it's going to be, 'Are they going to take away my kids?' It's scary. If they cut me off, how am I supposed to get Pampers, shoes and socks for my babies?"

It's an expected consequence of rewarding consumption and penalizing production. In other words, if you reward the takers, and penalize the givers, the takers "take over".
Are they going to guarantee her job? What kind of question is that? How is she going to pay for food and clothing? Like the rest of us do, you know by WORKING! Here's how you pay for needs Ms. Greenfield, get off your lazy behind, go get a job (a real one) and work hard while you're there. Jeez, what is my country coming to?
Merry Christmas to one and all; Except for the kids that have nothing to do with their parent's incompetence.
All the money this woman has received and spent over all these years is less than the cost of one minute in Afghanistan. This country really has its priorities wrong.
It is all about votes folks. The politicians pamper sub-groups (who probably do not even like each other) until they have a majority in Congress and can be in power forever; the perks are incredible.

yes, this country has its priorities wrong, where they think its ok to perpetuate poverty, to encourage people not to work, to allow for limited consequences for poor choices.. you know, everything you are supporting..
She's been on and off welfare for 7 years.
She has 5 kids
The oldest is 6.
That means she's had 5 kids while being ON welfare.
How on earth can anyone think to bring 5 kids into this world as a single mother and be on welfare as your source of income ????
And then read about Joy..on and off for 10 years and admits "she's not motivated".
Who is going to slap some sense into these people ?

This country has its priorities wrong when we think that one poor decision justifies another.
How does the fact that we shouldn't spend money in Afghanistan in any way justify this woman getting money for seven years?
That is like saying "I am in debt, but I bought a $55,000 sports car, so it isn't a big deal if I go on a $3,000 vacation. Do you realize how stupid that sounds? You don't have money for either.
