In VA when she goes to Social Services and asks for help or "assistance" they tell her she has a job or she makes too much money due to the job and they can't help her. So what does that mother do? She quits her job and then refiles and gets the full benifits for what they think a mother with 5 kids should get instead of simply supplementing what she was already making.

Our system of Gov. is bad from the top all the way down to the county level.

A women with 5 kids working at McDonalds gets plenty of assistance. That's not a good example but I get the point. At one time in this country the local churches and groups helped their own which made for a tighter community. Now the federal gov takes that role and uses it as an election tool driving a wedge in the community. When Bill Clinton and Newt reformed wellfair it forced mothers like that into programs that helped them obtain better jobs and off wellfair when they could care for themself. The program in VA was very successful and gave those mothers pride in providing for their families. That program has been distroyed over the years by both parties and its back to the wellfair programs of the 80s.
