Octuplet mom: She’s not receiving welfare
Well, this story just keeps getting better… and stupider by the minute. Msnbc.com reports in their article titled “Octuplet mom: Scrutiny of me is ‘sick’ - Parenting & Family - TODAYshow.com” that the octuplet mom is really kind of sick of people scrutinizing her life after having 8 children after already having 6 children previously, 3 of those 6 being some manner of special needs enough to receive SSI payments.
The Los Angeles Times has reported that Suleman, who had told Curry she has no income, receives $490 a month in food stamps in addition to Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments for her 3-year-old son, Aidan, who is autistic, and for two other children who have milder developmental issues. The payments are $600 monthly for each of the three children.
The 33-year-old single mom repeated her belief that she is not receiving welfare.
“I’m not living off of any taxpayer money. If I am, if it’s food stamps, it’s a temporary resource, and it’s only for food,” Suleman said. “It’s an excellent resource if used appropriately and not for too long … We receive no cash. And I’ve never even applied. I’ve never applied.”
Ummm, Most people would call that welfare…
Yes, I know that technically it isn’t because welfare is yet another hand out from the government. However, the fact remains she is receiving $27,480 a year in some form of government payments. (Editorial note: To put that in perspective, if you make less than $13.21 an hour at your 40 hour a week job… that should tick you off, because your working your tail off at a job and this gal is bringing home that staying at home with out driving to work every day watching ‘As The World Turns’. To really send you over the edge… the typical person looses about 30% of their salary to State, Federal, and FICA taxes. These payments are not subject to those taxes so far as I am aware, so if your making less than $17.17 you should be ticked.)
I do hate to break it to you toots, but that money you’re getting… it is taxpayer money and with it being your only source of income… you’re living off it. Not only that, to the point of you not recieving cash… the government doesn’t mail cash to people… they mail checks.
Nadya says she’s going to go back to school to finish a masters degree. A Program that apparently will take 18 months.Again, this woman is just stupid.
Married couples struggle to do this with just a couple kids and Nadya is unmarried and has 14… 8 are infants! Lets assume though, against all odds she actually does it and gets a really great job. I don’t know about in California, but in my part of the country it costs around $150-$200 a week to put a kid in childcare… and that’s being very cheap! But for the sake of a number, lets assume it’s only $150 a week for a child in childcare out in that area of the country where EVERYTHING costs more than other parts of the country. Essentially she’ll be shelling out $2,100 a week to work. Or, $8400 a month for childcare. That’s $109,200 a year in childcare expenses.
What kind of job does she think she’s going to get that pays so well that she’ll be able to afford to work??
This is just… stupid.
