Bzzt.  At least half of my extended family receives public
assistance in some form (AFDC, WIC, unemployment, etc.), and every
single one of them is in their predicament due to their own stupid
actions.  Pregnancies at age 15.  Shotgun-married at 19, 2 kids,
divorced a year later.  One who just keeps finding excuses as to why
he can't hold down a job.  All of these people need a harsh dose of
reality: make sensible decisions and hold down a job, or don't eat.
And this includes the fathers of the aforementioned children.
