Nunez, 40, has never worked and has no high school degree.Nunez is the "poster child" for the consequences of a lifetime of poor choices. Was a publicly-funded education not offered to her? Could she not get a review class and obtain a GED at little or no cost? No, she prefers to be a a human leach, living by sucking up the hard earned resources taken by force of law from productive citizens. She and her mother expose the consequences of 50 years of liberalism in America.
Democratic senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan long ago warned that the welfare state would destroy the family and trap people in a dependent lifestyle. He was one of the last Democrats I could respect, while differing with some of his policies.
There is a tenet of economics that you get what you subsidize. These two are living proof of the problem. NPR wants me to have compassion on them. I do. I want to remove the safety net and the delusion of legitimacy of this dependent lifestyle. I want them to have the satisfaction of working hard to gain skills to support themselves. I want them to taste the sweet flavor of a dinner you worked hard to earn.
Or an appetizer.
You nut! LOL Are you sure those are big nuff for these honeys?
Those were actually removed from Hillary’s room in the White House by Secret Service Agents in 1999.
I heard they removed them from the room with a very long pole.
No doubt. At least a 30 footer.
“reality talent show, something like “America’s got whiners”
A satire parody show along those lines would be a big hit, IMO. Follow ups on articles like this, pay the folks a few hundred each, which I doubt given their situation, would refuse.
Basically make fun of the main stream press.

A quick search on Google finds some starting points for help with jobs for those with disabilities in Ohio:

There are also groups in Ohio who will provide you with basic transportation should you need it - like a car. Not a great car, maybe, but reliable transportation. I’ve no doubt they would qualify.
They need to start walking places.
Seriously, if they have an extended family close by then they need to pool their resources. Without a car, those that are able should walk or ride a bike.
What about working at home? What about various types of work like dog-walking, house-sitting, housekeeping, cleaning, cooking, telemarketing (and other phone jobs), babysitting, etc?
One of the biggest problems with job services and other government assistance programs is they never teach people to be resourceful or think creatively about solving their problems.
Why did they have a car that required they make car payments? If you are low income you buy a used car (and not one from the loan shark car lot) and pay only liability insurance.
