Don't get me wrong. I see single mothers who rise from the ashes like a Phoenix and do great. I love to see that.

I just know how much they stand to "profit" financially by going to school and how little help others get. There's a big focus on the "single mother." I see their tax forms when I verify and note their $5000 refund which is a super-negative total tax liability; I see the federal and state grants and the low interest student loans, I see the WIC and the TANF and the TEAP programs.

I love to see people soar when given these opportunities. My skin crawls when the first reason for anything going wrong in their lives is that they are a single mother. I guess this liberal has gotten a bit jaded over time.
