Were they forced into early marriage in isolation?

Or did they just want the bigger welfare checks?

And before anyone goes blasting me for my *insensitivity*, I lived 18 long years in a welfare community and saw it all. It happens and that’s the reason for it.

Someone’s tagline on FR is “stop perverse incentives”.

This is exactly what the libs do all the time - promote perverse incentives.

Some act surprised at the “unintended” consequences. Others defend it by saying that you have to put up with some abuse of the system in order to help those in need.

Others - they knew this would happen, and wanted it to, in order to make more people dependent on them.
