The Bread Winner
"My Momma told me that I am the breadwinner for the family.”
I was speaking to an emergency room physician this morning.
He told me that a woman in her late 20’s came to the ER with her 8th pregnancy.
She stated “my momma told me that I am the breadwinner for the family.” He asked her to explain. She said that she can make babies and babies get money for the family.
The scam goes like this:
The grandma calls the Department of Child and Family Services and states that the unemployed daughter is not capable of caring for these children. DCFS agrees and states that the child or children will need to go to foster care.
The grandma then volunteers to be the foster parent, and thus receives a check for $1500 per child per month in Illinois ..
Total yearly income: $144,000 tax-free, not to mention free healthcare (Medicaid) plus a monthly “Linx” card entitling her to free groceries, etc, and a voucher for 250 free cell phone minutes per month.
This does not even include WIC and other welfare programs.
Indeed, grandma was correct in that her fertile daughter is the “breadwinner” in the family.
I hope you share this story with your contacts so they know how the ruling class spends our tax dollars.
We have got to cut out all government give away programs!!

They get the kids to claim some for of “disability” as well and then get checks for that — tax free.
Free school breakfast and lunch.
Free day care via head start.
And the oldest will soon be in jail at $50,000 and up tax dollars.
Know several women “working the system” like this. Go check out some of the stuff they buy with food stamps (which now is done through a nice debit card system).
just wow.
A system which does not penalize such behavior is doomed.
Where do they get the $1500/month per child? I know women here who were owed $2-400/ month for 2 kids, couldn’t collect from the deadbeats and still made ends meets working their tails off.
Makes me sick.
I don’t think the $1500 per month figure is correct. In California it’s about $400. No food stamps although they do come through with a small clothing allowance once a year.
However, I’m sure this scam is being played out hundreds of thousands of times over.
I sometimes wonder if Obammie gets his way and Sharia Law replaces the Constitution; will the muzzies see what they’ve “won”, and decide...
eff it, things are better back in the sandbox.
Bingo! A neighbor is on Medicaid, gets ADC for grandchildren. She's shacking up (has been for years). They have mega toys, see all the latest movies, have eaten at all the local restaurants and spend money like it's going out of style. Something very wrong with this picture. Millions upon millions of Medicaid users shacking up and living unmarried (so as not to lose benefits). The government watchdogs are deaf, dumb and blind. With so many people needing jobs, it would be prudent to have case workers come unannounced to Medicaid recipient homes and see for themselves and our nation's dwindling economy just how much financial waste and misspending is on the taxpayer dime.
Poking around a bit on the web - I can’t find anything about Illinois paying that much per child. The document that I found has Alabama paying more than Illinois — $410 for a child under 3 to Illinois’ $369.00.
Crazy Checks!
Nearly 1 million getting checks for ‘behavior problems’ back in the 90s. Sure it’s 10x these days.
They get checks for ‘having’ ADD or ADHD.
This has been going on for years. My husband had a young man - 17 years old - working with him in the seventies who was dating a 16 year old girl. Her mother was encouraging them to make a baby for the welfare she could get from raising the child. This woman had already done this with her other daughters.
I thought it was high too. Do you get more if you are the "Foster Parent", even though it's Grandma? Foster Parents imply a new home, etc.
I am in NYS and in addition to the foster child subsidy, I think this family got food stamps, direct welfare payments, HUD help with housing payments, free breakfast and lunch at school, free NYS health insurance, money because the children had been abused (to get them counseling and other services which they never did), etc. The foster subsidy is just the tip of the iceberg. If I were divorced and I didn’t work, even after child support, The amount of benefits I could get here in NYS would be a lot. So that’s what low lifes do, too, never get married and stay together although they say they’re apart, mom and kids get benefits, dads income if he has one is additional cash for the family, after most everything is paid for by the state.
speaking of milking the system...........
Octomom still has 29 embryos and had 1ied when she said she only had 6 implanted that gave her the 8. She had 12 implanted.
She had a can of name brand formula ($20+) and a box of the same name brand diapers ($too-much).
I took the time to tell her that "Target" brand formula was at least $7 cheaper a can for exactly the same product and their diapers would probably saver her at least as much.
The young mom's response was (not kidding) she was on WIC and it didn't matter how much things cost. She also understood why I payed attention to these things but assured me that everything was taken care of.
The only response I had was "Of course you have everything taken care of honey" (the most polite I could be)
I have told this story in every situation that I could work it in to in the last couple of weeks. Sorry if it went a little off topic but it pissed me off that much!
Nothing new here. When I graduated nursing school in NYC in 1970, my state and city tax was (combined) higher than my federal tax due to the huge payouts to women with no husband, numerous kids, and on every payout system they could obtain money or goods from. Multiply this by a few million and you can see why our country is in social and economic trouble, and the dems don’t want to give up these voters.
Hmmmm.......

Gub'mint cheese is now grass-fed organic, cave-aged, artisan cheddar?
Nothing new here. I remember watching some Jerry Springer type show 20 years ago and the guest was some brood mare who had eight kids already and was starting on a ninth when the welfare system told her they were going to pull the plug. She was all indignant that anyone thought they had a right to tell her how many lunch tickets ... er, I mean babies ... she could have.
Years ago, I worked in a hospital emergency room. I was in college at the time so pretty young and naive. I was stunned that fourteen, fifteen... year old girls would come in for a pregnancy test. They told everyone that it was their “time” to get pregnant and increase the welfare money for their family. It was almost like a right of passage.
