“”The 27-year-old single Lowell mother, a former telemarketer who is now unemployed, relies on food pantries and other public assistance to feed her three young sons.””
My usual question - where’s the Daddy?
I know we've moved on to the debt situation now, but the answer to your probably rhetorical question is that, in large segments of the population, the only role the father serves is to provide sperm to fertilize the mother's ova. He fulfills no other recognizable paternal role.
This is not meant to be a joke. It's the simple truth.
