I doubt if Bristol Palin is going to cost the taxpayers anything to support her and the baby.
If this show had come to my town they could have gone up to the housing projects and picked from hundreds of single mostly black fatherless and husbandless teenagers proudly bearing babies as something to show their womanhood and give them some kind of (miserable) status in their community
Perhaps unwed adulated Saint Angelina Jolie who has birthed 3 illegitimate children- could take this on as one of her missions as to how Hollywood contributes to this fantasy life of babies and single motherhood
And I suspect that none of Angelina Jolie's kids are going to cost the taxpayers anything to support, either. So what are you complaining about?
