Last summer I ran into one of my former students who had a toddler and another on the way. I asked if she was still with her HS boyfriend and she said "yes". She told me he was doing very well working on a fishing boat. I know some of my fishermen friends make over six figures. I then asked when they were getting married and she laughed and said I was funny.
They think we are fools. Why marry when rent and food are being paid by the govt?
BTW - She was arguing with the produce clerk about why she couldnt use her SNAP card to buy CA strawberries. I told her that maybe if she got married her husband could buy them for her.
Working the system.
I know there are people who need help.
Our willingness to let this go on is what gets in the way of cooperation between the left and right.
Thanks for sharing.
