I'll jump back in here, because while I enjoy the philosophical discussion, it's policy that really turns me on

How does society (meaning government) differentiate between the "unable" and "unwilling"?

I'm an uneducated single mother of two toddlers with an IQ of 65, my mother is dead and I never knew my father. I am barely literate. I have another kid on the way. I can't support the children I already have, and I have no idea how to help myself.

Am I unable or unwilling? Do I get anything from the government? Do my kids?
