You construct a totally different circumstance than the one i made reference to.....

I'll provide my opinion for your scenario ......

But I must ask..... first....

Which turn of fate placed your woman in the circumstance you describe?

Is she an attractive well groomed woman whose panties fly off in the presence of a male erection (consequences be damned)? If so I have already addressed the subject.....

Look ...... I thought I made it clear ..... I have no quarrel with public assistance for for those who may have made a youthful mistake or others who have fallen on hard times (although I didn't make that point specifically) ...... My quarrel is with those who take no personal responsibility for their actions and the consequences thereof .... and are conditioned or willing to pass their self created responsibilities to taxpayers who ARE assuming responsibility for their deeds.....

We haven't followed an attitude anything like that ....... as a result of our failure to do so we have (in some extreme cases) 3 generations of people whose "family business" is public assistance.....

Any intelligently constructed public assistance program should have a beginning ... a middle ..... and ..... an end..... with strings (responsibilities) tied to it's continuity....

Public assistance should NEVER be an option for people to count on to assume their personal responsibilities ..... for life....
