The state's already paying for her rent and gave her furniture, but she still says "Somebody needs to be held accountable for all my fifteen kids and they need to pay". :-\

All 15 of her kids will turn into Dindu baby factories. She'll have 300 grandchildren. All on the dole. No thanks! She gets money when her and her kids are sterilized.

Would you assign disability benefits to someone who intentionally cut off their legs?

This is why I'm a pro-abortion conservative.

So we let the kids starve to death or turn to a life of crime just to get something to eat? That will cost more in the long run.

It's kind of funny how "conservatives" don't mind paying for benefits in large families where people have a ton of kids because God said they should be fruitful and multiply.

Why must they turn to a life of crime to eat?
Quite a lot of people have a "job" which allows you to purchase food, which you can eat.
-

That is why we should have post facto euthanasia. Or at the very least forced sterilisation. At what point does the greater good outweigh personal freedoms? A solid case can be made that her actions are hurting others. Certainly financially, longer term we are also looking at having more violent criminals on the streets because of her. Why does her irresponsible use of her personal liberty have to trump that of sane people?

You're right but it will be tough for these kids to be productive members of society given their challenging background. There is no easy answer.

Definitely, but this woman should've been sterilized after having 2 kids. She will teach all her daughters to have as many kids as possible to get as much government money as possible, and so it goes. I blame the US government. How is this welfare/social system sustainable?
-

Then I have your back: fuck those parents too.

If that weren't bullshit conservatives would have made some real change to welfare or stopped pretending only blacks were recipients years ago.
It's all politics because they know shoeless white people (in single-wides) aren't pulling themselves up by any bootstraps.
It's brilliant, in a perverse kind of way, because they've figured out that white people living below the federal poverty level still feel good about not being black. :) They still feel some magical event will let them live the dream, LOL!

Woman with 15 Children Arrested, Evicted and Blames State for Her Problems
The “system” has been blamed for dropping the ball for a lot of needy, at-risk families. In a lot of cases, their disorganized bureaucracy has cost children their lives and shattered families forever. But, in this particular case it appears that the system may have been somewhat exhausted.
According to several news sources in Tampa, Florida, Angel Adams, 36, is homeless after being evicted from an apartment with 12 of her 15 children. Three of her children are old enough to support themselves and the rest of the children’s ages range from 11 years old to six months old. Adams has 10 of her children with her fiance’ Gary Brown, Sr., and said that after he was arrested and social services got in her life everything went wrong.
After reporters investigated through the department of Children and Families what type of assistance they had been offering Adams, they found that she had her rent paid and her apartment furnished. Adams felt that wasn’t enough. She turned to news camera during one report and said:
“Somebody needs to pay for alllllllllllll my children! And my and Gary, and all our suffering and our pain! Somebody needs to be held accountable! Somebody needs to pay!”
According to reports, there was quite a stir of controversy over her disposition toward the system that had pulled out the stops to pay her bills and rent. It really wasn’t clear why she was evicted from the apartment, but apparently there were too many people for that size domicile.
Her sense of “entitlement” from the social services programs is almost unbearable to watch; especially during a time when everyone is coming up short financially. She is blaming the system for her inability to provide for her 12 children. But, this is a clear case for birth control. WHERE WAS IT ALL HER LIFE? But once she came up against a judge that had the final word over her situation and shut her up in a cell for contempt of court, her tuned changed. The judge merely wanted to know if she was pregnant and she would not answer. But her visit within the penal system seemed to change her disposition…completely.

Tampa Bay Times
"No, I am not pregnant," she said. "No, my children have not been around any men other than their fathers."
The revelations came too late.
After refusing to answer a judge's questions last week, the homeless mother landed in jail, lost custody of her 12 minor children and missed out on the chance to move into a rent-free, six-bedroom home.
By the time Adams arrived in court Tuesday, Circuit Judge Tracy Sheehan was ready to release her from jail no matter what she had to say.
The judge said she didn't want to further burden taxpayers with providing the woman "three hots and a cot." And, because the children are now in foster care, concerns about whether Adams was pregnant were moot.
"I don't reward you by letting you out," said Sheehan, who did not lift a civil contempt finding. "I seek to be practical."
Adams, 37, will be allowed supervised visits with her children, who are living at a children's shelter near Brandon.
Asked where she will live, Adams said, "I have no idea."
Adams has lost her children to the state before. Her latest chapter began in late April when authorities learned that she and her 12 youngest children were living in a small motel room after being evicted.
She told state workers the kids had no clothes or shoes and the family had no food. According to Sheehan's court order, she was receiving about $2,600 a month in food and cash assistance.
Adams showed no gratitude when social service workers secured housing for the family and paid off her $6,000 debt to the Tampa Housing Authority. In court last week, she said she wanted them all out of her life.
On Tuesday, she softened her stance. "I do want to apologize to you and say I'm sorry to everyone in the room," she said. "I understand these people went out of their way to get a house for me and my children. It wasn't an issue of I wasn't appreciative."

Its really sad because in the end, her children will suffer. The research is quite clear regarding "Multigenerational Transmission Process." The kids, to a great extent, will be the ones paying for what the mother is doing today. Hopefully, her children can break the cycle, or at least some of them.

a good read is "how the irish became white" to understand why the irish tend to be so rabidly racist.
it's an overcompensation to try and gain european acceptance. the irish were viewed by the english as less than human (still are to a great extent).

Where did I disagree that whites are on the dole? They're all a cancer on this country. And you act like abortion is some wedge issue when legalized infanticide has been the law of the land since 1973

Don't give a flying fuck about her or her 900 kids. Their existence not only adds nothing of value to society, it burdens it hugely, in all ways.
As cruel as it might be, these types of individuals need to be removed from the reproduction pool.
She's a worthless organism that has no ability to control her primal instincts to take load after load into her vile twat.
Her children, in all probability, will only further burden society.

Who’s on Welfare? 9 Shocking Stats About Public Assistance
Welfare programs are controversial. Some people believe the government is responsible for providing a strong social safety to the most vulnerable. Others see welfare as a system that’s rife with abuse and which discourages people from making responsible decisions. Whatever your take on welfare, there’s no denying that these programs to help the poor cost a lot of money. A 2015 study by the University of California at Berkeley found that states and the federal government spent $152.8 billion a year on food stamps, health insurance, and cash assistance programs, more than half of it going to working families who were having trouble making ends meet.
The Berkeley report found that workers in many occupations were dependent on public assistance to supplement their income, including child care, home care, and fast food workers, as well as part-time college faculty.
We know that many people receiving welfare have jobs. But what other trends are there among people who get public assistance? To get a better idea of who was actually receiving public assistance in the United States, the U.S. Census Bureau recently took a closer look at participation in six major welfare programs from 2009 to 2012:
Medicaid
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), better known as food stamps
Housing assistance
Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), or cash benefits
General Assistance
The report doesn’t discuss other kinds of support that people might receive, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit, free school lunches, the WIC program, Head Start, energy assistance programs, and Pell Grants. While it doesn’t capture the full spectrum of welfare in the U.S., the results still provide a clearer picture of who is receiving public assistance.
Much of what’s included in the report isn’t exactly surprising – while many recipients have jobs, those who are unemployed and who don’t have much education tend to be more likely to rely on benefits for a longer period of time, for example. Nonetheless, some of the data may surprise you. Here are nine facts about who receives welfare benefits in the U.S.
crowded street
Source: Thinkstock
1. More than 20% of the U.S. population receives public assistance
In 2012, roughly one-fifth of the U.S. population, or 52.2 million people, received some kind of means-tested public assistance every month. About 15% of the population was receiving Medicaid and 13% were on food stamps. Just 1% were getting cash benefits through TANF or General Assistance.
In addition, most people probably aren’t receiving most of their income from government programs. A separate report from the Department of Health and Human Services found that in 2011, just 5.2% of the total U.S. population was receiving more than half of their total income in cash benefits, food stamps, or SSI.
2. Participation in welfare programs grew from 2009 to 2012
In 2009, 18.6% of the population was participating in at least one means-tested benefit program. That number was up to 21.3% in 2012. But the increase in welfare participation seems to be leveling off; there was no statistically significant rise in participation from 2011 to 2012.
3. The average monthly benefit was about $400
People received an average of $404 a month in food stamps, SSI benefits, TANF, or general assistance. Those who qualified for SSI (which primarily supports people who are disabled and can’t work) received the most on average — $698 per month. As of 2015, about 8.3 million Americans were receiving SSI.
4. Children benefit the most from public assistance programs
About 39% of children received welfare benefits during an average month in 2012. Roughly 17% of adults between 18 and 64 received benefits and 12.6% of people over age 65 did as well. Those under 18 also received larger average monthly benefits than adults between 18 and 64 ($447/month vs. $393/month).

5. Many people receive benefits for a year or longer
Forty-three percent of people had been receiving benefits for 37 to 48 months. Roughly 30% had been on welfare for a year or less.
Some programs had more long-term participants than others. Nearly half of people receiving housing benefits had been getting them for three years or longer. In contrast, cash assistance was a short-term form of help for most, with just 10% of people receiving benefits for three years or more.
Source: U.S. Census Bureau
6. Families led by single parents were more likely to receive benefits
Fifty-eight percent of families led by an unmarried mother and 37% headed by an unmarried father received benefits for at least one month during 2012. About 20% of families headed by a married couple received benefits for at least one during the same period.
7. Single mothers tend to receive less in benefits per month
Households headed by an unmarried woman received an average of $337 in monthly benefits, compared to $447 for households headed by single men and $420 a month for married couples.
However, families led by single moms tended to receive benefits for a longer period of time. Fifty-eight percent received benefits for three years or more, compared to 35.2% of single dad households and 34.8% of married couple households.
college graduation

8. People who attend college are less likely to receive benefits
A little over 13% of people who had attended college for at least one year received welfare benefits at any point in 2012. In contrast, 45% of people who didn’t graduate from high school received benefits during the year. People who didn’t complete high school were also more likely to be long-term benefit recipients.
9. African Americans were more likely to receive public assistance than other groups
In 2012, an average of 41.6% of African Americans received means-tested benefits each month. About 18% of Asians or Pacific Islanders and 13% of whites received benefits each month. Thirty-six percent of Hispanics of any race received government assistance.

Twain or Disraeli made the comment about the three kinds of lies.
If the first bullet point is legit and 20% or 52.2 million people. That's more black people than the US Census Bureau came up with in 2015, LOL!
People like throwing out numbers because they know most of us are conditioned to accept them without thinking.

Since we are a socialist state (I have to pay for everybody else's kids), I vote for licensing. If you are on the dole: sorry.
Now, if we would like to consider returning to an era of INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY where people pay their own way, and government is trimmed by 99% to just the things that they are supposed to do, I am open to letting the Dindus have 15 kids. In a house where she actually has to bring home the income to support 15 kids on her own, the children would learn about austerity, budgeting and maybe -- just maybe -- fucking birth control.
-
Government entitlement programs like Medicare and Social Security, along with the military industrial complex, are where the real money is when it comes to government spending. This kind of social welfare is just a relatively insignificant drop in the bucket but it makes a great talking points t for the wanna-be tough guys.
-
All 15 of her kids will turn into Dindu baby factories. She'll have 300 grandchildren. All on the dole. No thanks! She gets money when her and her kids are sterilized.
You'd get my vote.

About 39% of children received welfare benefits during an average month in 2012. Roughly 17% of adults between 18 and 64 received benefits and 12.6% of people over age 65 did as well. Those under 18 also received larger average monthly benefits than adults between 18 and 64 ($447/month vs. $393/month).

5. Many people receive benefits for a year or longer
Forty-three percent of people had been receiving benefits for 37 to 48 months. Roughly 30% had been on welfare for a year or less.
Some programs had more long-term participants than others. Nearly half of people receiving housing benefits had been getting them for three years or longer. In contrast, cash assistance was a short-term form of help for most, with just 10% of people receiving benefits for three years or more.

6. Families led by single parents were more likely to receive benefits
Fifty-eight percent of families led by an unmarried mother and 37% headed by an unmarried father received benefits for at least one month during 2012. About 20% of families headed by a married couple received benefits for at least one during the same period.
7. Single mothers tend to receive less in benefits per month
Households headed by an unmarried woman received an average of $337 in monthly benefits, compared to $447 for households headed by single men and $420 a month for married couples.
However, families led by single moms tended to receive benefits for a longer period of time. Fifty-eight percent received benefits for three years or more, compared to 35.2% of single dad households and 34.8% of married couple households.

8. People who attend college are less likely to receive benefits
A little over 13% of people who had attended college for at least one year received welfare benefits at any point in 2012. In contrast, 45% of people who didn’t graduate from high school received benefits during the year. People who didn’t complete high school were also more likely to be long-term benefit recipients.
9. African Americans were more likely to receive public assistance than other groups
In 2012, an average of 41.6% of African Americans received means-tested benefits each month. About 18% of Asians or Pacific Islanders and 13% of whites received benefits each month. Thirty-six percent of Hispanics of any race received government assistance.
Stops at 2012. Those number are MUCH higher now. Totally unsustainable.

Government entitlement programs like Medicare and Social Security, along with the military industrial complex, are where the real money is when it comes to government spending. This kind of social welfare is just a relatively insignificant drop in the bucket but it makes a great talking points t for the wanna-be tough guys.
The article says the federal govt spends $152B/Year on food stamps. Lobbyists have forced Obama to increase Israel's aid to $40B and not one of our "conservatives" has said a fucking word about them being on the taxpayer dole.

It's all money that we don't have, so it all needs to be shut off. I would encourage Israel to stop mincing around and announce they are a world-class nuclear power and they are on a nuclear war footing. Then I would encourage them to pop off 5-6 medium yield warheads in the middle of the Iranian desert. That will end any delusions of Arab superiority. They don't need us and frankly our money comes with so many strings it isn't worth it.
Taking out the Kaaba would also make sense. I would use nukes like hand grenades.

Holy shit, you really want to get into Shia versus Sunni with me? Jesus, you're a dumbass. Yes, I know FFS, however all the ARAB countries want Israel destroyed and the one Shia theocracy does too. See, this is a Lenonist concept known as the "fellow traveler". Israel needs to send a general message to its enemies that it's basically ready to go to war for real. This needs to be widely broadcast.

a good read is "how the irish became white" to understand why the irish tend to be so rabidly racist.
it's an overcompensation to try and gain european acceptance. the irish were viewed by the english as less than human (still are to a great extent).
Absolute total and utter shite.

It's not about her. It's about the kids. They didn't do anything wrong. We live in the wealthiest society in the history of mankind. We can afford to lend a hand.
What are you a moron? The last thing society needs are weaklings that have kids they can't support and then look for hands out from society. Like it or not, humans are part of nature and the laws of nature apply. In the animal kingdom if a female of a particular species has a ton of offspring and they fail to find their own food they go extinct. Humans are part of the animal kingdom. This is a very unnatural situation to support women with 15+ children who are having babies just to receive more benefits. I can understand if these babies were a scarce resource like Nordic beauties who will help beautify the surroundings. Unfortunately they are a bunch of low IQ Dindus that are a dime a dozen.
This will be of zero benefit to society and actually helping bring it down.
The best thing to do is sterilize them. If they can't provide for their first child they are sterilized. It is insane to keep this up and very very foolish. More lives will be lost than saved.

Tampa Bay Times
"No, I am not pregnant," she said. "No, my children have not been around any men other than their fathers."
The revelations came too late.
After refusing to answer a judge's questions last week, the homeless mother landed in jail, lost custody of her 12 minor children and missed out on the chance to move into a rent-free, six-bedroom home.
By the time Adams arrived in court Tuesday, Circuit Judge Tracy Sheehan was ready to release her from jail no matter what she had to say.
The judge said she didn't want to further burden taxpayers with providing the woman "three hots and a cot." And, because the children are now in foster care, concerns about whether Adams was pregnant were moot.
"I don't reward you by letting you out," said Sheehan, who did not lift a civil contempt finding. "I seek to be practical."
Adams, 37, will be allowed supervised visits with her children, who are living at a children's shelter near Brandon.
Asked where she will live, Adams said, "I have no idea."
Adams has lost her children to the state before. Her latest chapter began in late April when authorities learned that she and her 12 youngest children were living in a small motel room after being evicted.
She told state workers the kids had no clothes or shoes and the family had no food. According to Sheehan's court order, she was receiving about $2,600 a month in food and cash assistance.
Adams showed no gratitude when social service workers secured housing for the family and paid off her $6,000 debt to the Tampa Housing Authority. In court last week, she said she wanted them all out of her life.
On Tuesday, she softened her stance. "I do want to apologize to you and say I'm sorry to everyone in the room," she said. "I understand these people went out of their way to get a house for me and my children. It wasn't an issue of I wasn't appreciative."

Go to high risk areas. Offer a $2000 stipend for all 12+ females to get a 10-year birth control implant.
At 19, offer them another $2000 for a 10-year renewal.
Without all the new babies, people will go to school more, work more, innovate more, do whatever. In a generation, a small investment of a few million may result in a generational drop in crime, govt dependence, and more.
A kid born to a 12-year old will cost WAY more to society than 2 grand or even 4 grand. Let that mama wait until she's 29 to be fertile again - and it's completely voluntary. Sure, 2% won't do it. But 98% of people will go get that money.

Some millionaire did this years ago with Norplant... he didn't get many takers. It was immediately criticized as racist. He argued that it would stop the downward spiral towards poverty in many places but babies = checks, so people were easily fooled into buying the idea that he was trying to stop reproductive rights.
The system works exactly as intended.
