some of you should be more compassionate to these ladies. Nobody WANTS to be on PA. I get 529/mo in foodstamps. I also work fulltime, I pay 1300 of the 2000 I make to childcare. I was married and supported my husband while he built his business. When his business took off, he started sleeping with every tramp that looked his direction. He had two children outside of our marriage. Now that he pays childcare for those bastards, he was ordered to pay me only 300/ month for our two babies. Yes- i was married, yes I had a degree before we had children. So stop thinking you are above PA because it can happen to anyone.
