When is something going to be did to stop these mothers from abusing the system?

In all honesty I would have no problem with the government limiting the amount of kids a mother can have if she isn't able to take care of them.I may be grasping at straws with this one,but something needs to be done about It.I do agree that they should limit welfare,not increase it everytime they have a child.This probably will never happen but one can dream.

Aida did you even read my entire post before replying?I never said things don't happen of course people get laid off,of course men walk out.I have no problem with women who honestly need help getting it,my problem is with women who are constantly popping babies out when they are already in a bad situation.How hard is it to walk into your local health department to get bith control?That is impossible,but they sure can walk in there to sign up for medicaid and wic everytime they get pregnant.i know PLENTY of women who are living comfortably off of assistance.Like i said in another post I know a woman who has 5 kids,she gets cash aid,food stamps(gets so much that she sells about $250),wic,,and lives in a big nice house(on housing)goes from church to church asking for money to pay bills she has never worked a day in her life.If that isn't living comfortably then what is?I loled @ your comment about 'they should pay with cash' that makes no sense.Nobody cares about people using credit cards because when they get the bill in the mail guess who will have to pay it?My whole post was about women abusing the system,not ones who have fallen on their faces and need help..You don't care where your tex dollars go?Makes sense to me.I saw a woman at the store with multiple kids she had 3 carts full of food.They were all in designer clothes and she was constantly whipping out the iphone.Why not take that money and buy food?She obviously gets the things she wants,she just wants others to feed her.That is what irks me,let others who need the assistance get it.Something needs to be done about this..plain and simple.Like I said earlier,women who are on medicaid and pregnant(and alooooot are) have access to birth control,after they give birth they are switched over to sobra which gives them birth control for free(they will even tie their tubes for free)Why aren't they taking advantage of it?They sure have no problem waltzing back up to the health department to get back on medicaid and wic when they are pregnant again a few months later.

I am in CA and know people, personally, who are sufferring, with multiple kids, and not on state aid. You are making a blanket statement. The percentage of people who do this is minimal, but still needs to be addressed.

I guess its in other states than where I live because people here that get welfare assistance are only getting like $500 per MONTH!!! Who can live WELL off of that with multiple children?? I am on Food Stamps, and we get $355 for 3 children and 2 adults to eat off of for the entire month! Can anyone here really eat well with 5 people in a house on that?!? My guess is No. I have never been on welfare but I know people that are and they do not get good money at all and they live in neighborhoods where they need 6 locks on their door or they might get shot!! Meanwhile they have children living there too! I don't see how people are saying their making good money on welfare, $500 per month to me is not what I could live on... My electric bill BY ITSELF is usually $200-$250, that's not including water, phone, sewer, clothes for my kids, etc...

Right.I know a woman who has been on housing and every other type of assistance since her kids were born(they are now in their late 20s)there are people who are disabled and could really use the help..makes me angry that it is given out to people who just refuse to work.

Yes,mistakes happen.But i think we can all agree having kids 3 years in a row with no job is not a mistake.Alot of men will duck and dodge child support,and most of the time when they do pay they have a low wage job and the mother doesn't even get $80 a month out of them.

Yeah I still have issues with Newt even though my politics have changed. Not happy with the current laws concerning child support because there are too many outs for them. My ex claims disability and gets SSI. They tell me it's welfare so the kids weren't entitled to anything. But he gets to buy a house. Go figure that one too!

Irish was he already on childsupport when he started receving ssi and disability,or did you try to file afterwards?

Here is another GREAT SIGN the country is going down the drain. wish everyone would watch it. Simply amazed me! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL-a-r7iJIU
