Im not going to say youre wrong, because I havent seen what youve seen, however I do believe you are wrong. I do not at all think its common place for people to have several kids so that they can be on welfare and stay on it. The system is broaken, and the broaken part is not lazy people. The system is setup in a way in which its increadibly hard to get stuck in it. For example, if you are on welfare and dont have a job, then you have to go these classes that pretty much are house wife classes. So if someone makes a mistake when young and has a kid and doesnt get a hcance to get an education, they can either get a crappy low paying job and barel yscrape by or they can go to these classes and get a little bit bigger of a welfare check. School does not count. Now tell me, how much sense does that make? Here you are using the govt as a temp crutch trying to move up in the job market so you can support yourself, and they are pushing your ladder away from the building. Its a cold, heartless, broaken and depressing system to be involved with.

For the most part the system sucks, not the people using it.
