However, we're always hearing that same old familar tune from the county commission, "The sky is falling, the sky is falling." Give us credit for knowing that this county admin wastes more money than it needs. Amazing how when it came down to the wire that there’ was a “fix” to the problem and that nothing had to be done.

I am a single parent and raised my child without Marriage and the Govt by choice. Single parents or "unwed mothers" are not always looking for hand-outs. Unwed parents are always the blame for financial struggles which is so untrue. I know several Married people w children that get assistance from the Govt. Yes, the system has been taking advantage of and yes women are having babies one after the other because they lack the intellegence of financial obligation and personal obligation and expect someone else to take care of them and their children, which is very sad. Just saying before we start pointing fingers at a certain group, we should know the facts. .

I t could be any os at any time. What taxPAYERS mind are the breeders whose " job " it to start pushing put babies to get more money. Anyone who acts like they don't know the difference are just hiding behind ignorance. This country can not afford to keep borrowing to breed babies as a source of income .. If the do ever hold down a job it will probably be some govt job. Govt jobs DO NOT PRODUCE ANYTHING AT ALL THEY JUST BLEED TAXPAYERS DRY. Alabama farmers did not plant as many crops last year because with the clamp down on illegal aliens THEY WERE AFRAID THE CROPS WOULD ROT BECAUSE NOONE ELSE IS WILLING TO WORK !!! Look a uwf buying golf courses and RAISING TUITION, oh but not to worry no teachers (term I use very loosely) or staff will not be loosing their paychecks ... Whew now I can sleep easy tonight.

It always amazes me how quick some people are to judge. I hope you never have to humble yoyrself to the "system". It is not easy to lay your pride down and accept help when it is needed. Dont judge people, exotically when you dont know what may really be going on. The blame always gets passed on to unwed mothers or food stamp recipients or someone who may be less fortunate.
