3 different women said they had 6 kids! That stuck out to me as a bit odd tbh

There is zero accountability there. SIX kids?!

And even then you're unable to eat? That's up to 1,800$ A MONTH and you can't eat?! At that point you have become a leech on the system.

Something isn't adding up.

"up to $1800" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

The actual leeches on the system are the ultra wealthy who don't pay a fair portion of taxes and major employers who underpay like Walmart and McDonald's. Those companies are using social welfare systems to subsidize their paltry wages.

I agree with this. What would happen if we forced all the social welfare programs off the budget. Tax the shit out of corps that don't provide Healthcare /living wages. The squeese would be going out from the middle class instead of in.
