On the front page of our local paper is a young couple that have the first baby in our county for the New Year. It's a big deal lots of stuff from local merchants. This couple is young I know the man he's 24 I don't know the exact age of his girlfriend/fiancee but she appears to be close to his age. In the picture there are four children. There's a nine year old that shares the same last name as the mother. Then a newborn, an 11 month old and a two year old that all have the father's last name. Oh and he has a little boy that's about six or seven with another mother. This bothers me and before you tell me it's none of my business I'll tell you why it bothers me. He doesn't have a very high paying job. She doesn't work and has all these kids. The hospital that was listed in the article is one of two local hospitals that accepts pregnant mothers on medicaid have babies. So guess what taxpayers are paying for these two to just keep reproducing. Along with the cost of the birth there's wic and probably foodstamps and she may even be living in low rent or a hud housing. I don't know the answer but this type of crap drives me nuts! We are paying for this. In this case this young woman had a child very young as did the young man and now they just keep on reproducing.
