In Nadya’s view, the money that she gets from the food stamp program ... and the resources disabilities payments she gets for her three children are not welfare,” Furtney said. “They are part of programs designed to help people with need, and she does not see that as welfare.” Ohmygod. While I might cut her a bit of slack on the disabilities payments- given she couldn't predict them happening, it is all the more reason one doesn't go ahead and add to the financial burden on a family already taking tax dollars and stressed. The woman is either insane, or a frightening example of the extremes to which an entitlement mentality will take you. And I HAVE had pregnant clients on ADC tell me that it was their Godgiven right to have children and we have to support them, even if they already had several they couldn't take care of, so this thinking doesn't surprise me completely.
