    I'll tell you this... the most humiliating moment of my life was when I was 22, unemployed for months and finally had burned through all my savings (Which was pretty big considering my age), all the good will of friends and all my options.

    I had been searching for a job the whole time but being just out of school, I had little experience in anything but waiting tables and those jobs were all filled by the hundreds of other people my age.

    After enduring a demeaning interview where I explained that I hadn't even applied for Unemployment because I had savings and friends and family to support me, I had to practically beg for help so I wouldn't end up living on the street.

    I got a job soon after that but being told I was lazy and just wanted a free money handout was so wrong, rude and just plain mean. you could tell the people were getting a kick out of watching me squirm.

    so let me get this straight...

    taking on the burden and the hassle and the 20 plus year commitment to raising another kid, and getting money for food is a reward?

    does anyone really think that a poor woman is going to say "ok, i need to get more money. what can i do? oh yeah, let me get pregnant where i might have life threatening complications, and then i am going to have to commit to raising ANOTHER kid on my own, AND i get paid for it??? YEP, SIGN ME UP!!!"

    Nope. Even if we were dealing with completely selfish people whose only thought in the world was to make more money for themselves, it doesn't make mathematical sense that one could make money off the welfare system by having more babies. The cost of raising a child is MUCH more than the welfare income paid for each child. (But what do I know? I don't have children. :roll: )

    It's a very Tea Bagger attitude... "I don't wanna pay for anyone else... let them stave, make them suffer, take their kids away.... WHAT!?!?! You don't want to pay for ME?!?! Well, THAT's UNAMARIKUN!!!!"


    Did you also catch when I said that my husband and I don't get the same tax breaks as him and his wife that his answer was "you don't have to be married?" Because... he does?

    Yes, I caught that. Sadly, I don't think he gets your point. (That's not a personal attack; I'm pretty sure he actually said he doesn't get your point, right?)
