willcan OT: I am quite familiar with the housing scenario you speak of as my business is directly involved with apartment management companies. In essence what the government is doing in a majority of the cases is offering an incentive "not to improve ones lifestyle". I could cite some specific cases in a larger city where people are living in posh apartments that rent for $2500 per month with the government subsidizing $2250 of those dollars because they became pregnant at an early age and the father of the child is unknown. If that isn't an incentive for screwing up in your less formative years I guess there never was one. In the old days the maiden would have tried to hide the pregnancy or had an abortion. Today the incentive is to have as many kids as possible and then have them classified as "Educationally Disabled" to up the monthly monetary flow into the household. The penalty for doing so is a beautiful apartment well out of the reach of your everyday blue collar worker and a pile of cash to take care of the kiddies. Like I said before, it stinks! Also tell your significant other to work 7 days a week to build the business like most normal people do when starting up. It might not help the cause but at least she'll have less time to think about her problems. (VBG) I wish her luck.
