Maybe we could solve all of this by putting all the poor people on an island and letting them fend for themselves. That is what I really want to happen. Because all poor people are bad people and I don't think there are any exceptions to any rule in the whole wide universe.

How about we put you on an island?

Can we start a government program for this?

I think this is truly the thread that never ends.

I stopped posting because I have a JOB. That I work hard at. And then I pay taxes on the money I earn there. So I can go home and not receive welfare. Because I don't need a fucking hand out. When shit gets rough I get a second job, or DH does. Or we both do. And it saddens me that there aren't more people out there willing to take responsibility for themselves and their own. Walmart is always hiring, so is mcdonalds, Taco Bell, etc.

Wow! I can't even read all of this thread.

I think the bottom line is we all have to pay taxes...for roads, public education, police and firemen and yes healthcare. None of us will ever approve on every single category; however, the majority of tax money goes to benefit ALL of us as Americans. Some people receive extra government assistance, and some do not. Some abuse the system. Many do not. For those who are not on government assistance, just be thankful.

So back to OP's original post...maybe you don't know the whole story OR maybe you have hit the nail on the head with this broad...either way, just be grateful you aren't in that situation.

I am incredibly grateful to not be in a situation where I need assistance and even more thankful that even though we may not make much money we are not living paycheck to paycheck.

As far as the friend. She may have been boasting the other day about all the aid she was going to be getting but as of last night she is freaking about the responsibility and the fear that now she may have to live this way the rest of her life. I feel bad for her.

Also, OP, if you want to have a baby, pray about it with your husband. Of course, you want to be somewhat financially stable, I understand that, but money isn't everything. I'm not sure how bad your situation is, but if you and your husband are basically financially stable, and have food, shelter, jobs, etc then maybe you should consider having your baby. You can love and provide a child without showering them with toys. I'm sure when the time is right for both of you, you will conceive a wonderful little angel. Focus your energy on your family and try not to get too upset about this other girl.
