Actually, having more kids is profitable. If the mother is unmarried, all the better. Meal Tickets.
TANF, SNAP, WICs, Section 8, and EITC Head of Household with dependents. A pretty good living for them.
[P.S. The ‘banana’ joke is funny!]
Around here, and likely nationwide, the cause du jour is gathering food to feed the kids that have been getting free breakfasts and lunches in school. I know someone involved with school lunches and believe me, most lunches are given either free or reduced rate.
Now that summer has arrived someone has to ensure the kids (and families) get meals.
Really pi$$es me off that the parents have no, zero, zip, nada responsibility to take care of their own children.
And we are the enablers, like it or not.
