Sam; That's $4,030 of the U.S. taxpayers' money per resident Assuming that's true, that comes to 28,210 for the Palin family. And we wonder why we have a budget deficit! steve

I love that women have children- if they take care of them. We have many wonderful Mormon families in our town, for example, with many many children- but the moms actually take care of the kids. So I wouldn't want to be down on a mother for having kids she can afford - even lots of kids she can afford(I'm not so crazy about people having kids they can't pay for themselves, though). There are lots of wonderful big families out there- but I do think having a parent on duty is crucial- especially with a larger family. We only have three, but I wouldn't let them run open loop.
