Nadya “Octomom” Suleman may have sworn that she would never ask for government assistance. But even the extra money she made posing nude for Closer magazine wasn’t enough to keep her off welfare.
The mother of fourteen is now receiving $2,000 a month from the State of California. The money is deposited into a special debit card account and can only be used to purchase food. Suleman qualified for the card because she is supporting a family of fifteen on an income of less than $119,000 a year—or just under $8,000 for each member of the household.

In 2010, a year after giving birth to octuplets, Suleman said that she refused to become “a self-fulfilling prophesy” and vowed to stay off welfare. When asked why she has reversed her position, Suleman told TMZ that “becoming totally destitute” left her with no other options and that she plans to go off food stamps in a couple months.
Since news of her decision to accept welfare broke, reactions have been mixed. Some are supportive of her decision to put her children before her pride. Others, however, are irate and are evening sending Suleman death threats.
What do you think SodaHeads? Was Octomom’s decision to go on welfare unexpected or inevitable?

That's what will keep this country free...if people use it.
The choice is yours!
If they do not follow their promises, you vote them out and hope you choose well the next time!
But it beats letting someone vote for you, because you did not bother to vote!
Patriots use their own money to donate to charitable organizations and those in need..
Truth be known, your liberal cohorts use OTHER people's money!
No one, your very silly political generalities notwithstanding, has ever denied feeding the poor and truly needy.
You are using hunger to promote political rhetoric.
That's on page 13 of the liberal playbook.
Shame on you!!
(BTW: The jury is still out on Obama's
qualifications...ie....whether or not he is a total fraud!)
...and we shall pay. However, we don't have to like it...
get real.
A "liberal" would say, "It's NOT the KIDS fault" They are HERE, they are LIFE, they need to be protected from her stupidity! (And the un-American greediness of the right) If it takes a tiny bit of my tax money to do it, so be it! Or maybe it's your ...er..."choice"... to just let them die, (of course, without healthcare since they can't afford it) That IS Rick Santorums "vision", AND style of "death panel".
How do the Libs plan on doing that? How are they protecting her from her stupidity now? By paying her off with money?
"whom conservatives now love and defend" and wouldn't have aborted, (yep, wait til they're born, THEN kill them)!
Obama supports killing babies who survive abortions. Is HE a conservative?
Obama, Senate floor, 2002: [A]dding a – an additional doctor who then has to be called in an emergency situation to come in and make these assessments is really designed simply to burden the original decision of the woman and the physician to induce labor and perform an abortion. … I think it’s important to understand that this issue ultimately is about abortion and not live births.
Obama, Senate floor, 2001: Number one, whenever we define a previable fetus as a person that is protected by the equal protection clause or the other elements in the Constitution, what we’re really saying is, in fact, that they are persons that are entitled to the kinds of protections that would be provided to a – a child, a nine-month-old – child that was delivered to term. That determination then, essentially, if it was accepted by a court, would forbid abortions to take place. I mean, it – it would essentially bar abortions, because the equal protection clause does not allow somebody to kill a child, and if this is a child, then this would be an antiabortion statute.
She has children to take care of, so we'll just have to pick up the tab for it all... like we do with so many other irresponsible single mothers. I mean, I realize there are plenty of women who genuinely need support through no fault of their own... but the Octomom ain't one of them.
The "payoff".....she is getting with the consent of the government, and if the citizens paying for it don't like it...change the law....that much is still in their power!
She is not breaking any laws or committing fraud...... No single mother can support 14 children...she qualifies!
