Still, this woman's incredibly stupid and selfish choices to bear 10 children with no man willing to provide for them...ought to be grounds for rigorous investigation and forced rehabilitation into self sufficiency.

We're on the same page there. Though generally I suggest, rather than forcing someone into a rehab program, simply to shut off the money spigots and let them hit bottom if they don't respond appropriately. I'm all in favor of classes to help irresponsible people, if the students join voluntarily and the classes aren't funded with tax dollars.

Oh yes, let's let her and her family hit bottom. The state will take her kids and put them in foster homes. Since all some of you care about is the bottom line, figure out just how much more taxpayer money will go to paying the foster care. Hint: a hell of a lot more money than helping the woman get into a house, and maybe fixing her van.

Did we all get up on the grumpy side of the bed this morning?
