Here's a story from when I worked with the welfare crowd. There was a lady who was about my age at the time. She had a fourth grade education level and cursed like a truck driver (I really have nothing against truck drivers). She had had TEN KIDS. For years she had received cash benefits for the kids (about $350/month at the time) and herself along with complete medical coverage, clothing allowances, and all the other accompanying benefits. She had never held a job, completed school, or any vocational training. One day she was lamenting to me that her last kid would turn 18 shortly, & she wouldn't be getting any more money for him. She didn't get the irony when I commented to her, "Don't worry, I'm sure one of your kids will take you in and take care of you."
