If she gets the $2 million for her story; she certainly won’t be a “burden on society” (as many have opined).

When I was a kid, several families in our (rural) area had large families. A dozen kids wasn’t unusual. Two sisters of one of these families were in my grade 1 classroom — one as a classmate, the other as the teacher.

I invite you to do the math. Very rough math: $2,000,000 divided by 14 kids divided by eighteen years yields $7900 a year per kid. Be assured that this amount per capita will not keep this woman off the dole.

Fourteen kids under age 8 is. No matter how you slice it.

In those large families that I grew up with, the older children could help tend to the younger ones and/or work. That won't be the case here.

Two million dollars won't begin to cover the needs of this crew over time.

NOT just an opinion:

FACT:
All these 8 kids are instantly eligible for S S I.

I don’t know which administration passed this into law.
Anyone know???
