Democratic party hates families, so they created a welfare system that would destroy them.

The entire system is built to encourage women to get divorced (on never marry).

Social workers and many others have been increasing that activity for a couple of generations. Various buzzard special interest groups have been feasting on the divorce/cohabitation paradigm caused by their lobbies in many ways.

I was groggy from anesthetic after my last c section a few years ago, and I was briefly alone resting in my hospital room, baby in bassinet beside me. A lady came in from WIC, clearly could see I wasn’t in tip top condition, yet proceeded to try and get me to sign up for WIC. She reminded me of the gym membership employees of the 1990s, working solely on commission. Hard sell. I kept telling her I was not eligible and that I wanted to rest, but she kept pushing, insisting it would be great food for me and the baby. Finally somehow I got her out. I was older and spoke English and had advanced degrees and understood the socialist state crap. Imagine all the young innocent uneducated or foreign born moms who just sign right up for the free food. She was really pushy.

I’ve read that long married couples are known to get legally divorced,but remain together,in order to get more in Social Security benefits.

I can't see a problem with that - they both paid in and would be entitled to more than they get as a married couple - last year my benefits went up about $40 and my wife's stayed the same...

On the flip side, depending on how things are done, the one getting less may not be able to tap the higher amount if the one getting more dies first after a divorce.

They are not fiances, they are roommates. Being engaged and living together indicates shared responsibilities. Roommates indicates everything is separate, especially the income. The welfare family has no access to it so it doesn’t exist.
I worked for our welfare department and every non related, working male in the home was a roommate.

Well yes, I agree, but especially if they have kids together, that is the euphemism they always use.
