There are plenty of good paying jobs out there without a college degree, its called a trade, the world needs plumber, electricians, electronic repair, truck drivers. programmers, plenty of places will teach you the needed skill but you have to apply not sit home and collect freebies and whine.

I see the words "I" and "me" in there more than Obama uses, and that's saying something, but I didn't see any mention of a husband.

Speaking of marriage my wife and I have been married 34 years today and we raised 8 kids at times on a $12.50/hr single income. We did use WIC but never food stamps.

My wife stayed home and raised and home schooled our kids.

Am I the only one who noticed the polished, professional style of writing in this article? (I only skimmed the first twenty replies). This was written by an experienced writer, not by a single mother with kids and a job to distract her. I call BS.

My guess is if she stayed working in one of these crappy jobs long enough, she'd eventually move up. That might enable her to get a better job eventually especially if she took some classes at the local community college. Most can be taken online now.

No mention of dad in this equation either. Again, no accountability for bringing babies into this world with a loser's sperm donation.

Those that do not succeed, do not most often because of the poor decisions, along the path, they have made. What happened to the college education? Must have been in some liberal useless course with no job demand.

Maybe she is not even smart enough to succeed at Food Stamps. We all see the overflowing carts filled with everything under the sun, which it covered by whipping out the EBT card.

Sounds like she fails to fill in that her kids have cell phones (which are 25% of her monthly grocery budget).

Reading between the lines, this probably was written by some liberal journalist using dire straits in a fictitious tale to tug at us to “give more”.

Too busy to read her proclamation,but I *very* firmly believe that (at least) 95% of Americans between 18 and 70 who aren't *truly* disabled yet are on *any* kind of welfare are worthless parasites.

And if,by chance,she's a member of that 95% she can shove her anger right up.....

You have to be a really uncreative person to be stuck in the food services industry for decades. Especially, today. We live in an time when you can go buy an item at thw dollar store. Modify a bit. (or not). Bundle it with something else. You get my drift. And turn around and sell it on Ebay or Amazon or somewhere for 4 times your investment.

The best ideas I have come up with were when I was stuck in a job I hated.

Another thought, I knew, ohhhhh, I dunno, at about the age of 14 that choosing a life where I had to decide between diapers and eating wasn't gonna be very fun for anyone involved. I especially considered the kid that would have had to grow up in those conditions. That was a huge pregnancy, dead beat sperm donor deterrent for me.

Then suddenly I had two kids.....

Stopped reading right there.

A living wage for whom? Five illegitimate kids? Fifteen? As many as you can pump out as fast as a passing dork can pump them in?

Fat lazy angry botch...no wonder there’s no man around.

Yes. To the author of this garbage: stop stealing other people’s earnings. We are not your slaves.
