“I don't waste much,'' said Lourdes Velasquez, 27, of Reseda, with her 2-year-old daughter in tow. “I buy what's on sale.''

Velasquez, a single mom who is seven months pregnant, earns $1,200 a month at a Kmart in North Hollywood. She must pay $800 for rent and has no medical insurance or car. She gets no child-support payments, she said. “If I didn't have my mom (to baby-sit), I'd be living on the street,'' she said.

Why doesn't she sue that b****** for child support? BTW, what is she doing getting pregnant while single?

I thought that all these low wage, low skilled immigrants reduced labor costs, making it cheaper to live here? What gives?

Its the same here in New York. You can't get a one room apartment in the GHETTO for under $800 these days. Yet the breeders keep breeding and eating junk food which takes a significant bite out of the wallet. They can also say NO when their children ask for video games...

It costs $58,000 a year for the average family of four with two working adults to pay the basic bills

Uh, it costs $58,000 a year whether they work or not.  Or is the cost of living cheaper if you're unemployed?
Earning more doesn't make things cost more.
