Nadya Suleman and Her 14 Children Receiving Government Aid

What is the deal with Nadya Suleman and her 14 children? So, let me get this straight. This woman had six kids and then she got in vitro fertilization and had eight more kids. I don't know much about where the first six kids came from and it is really irrelevant because she had eight more kids! I have to agree with what most people are saying: she is an idiot! She might know how they work the system but, is it really worth it? Even if she does get all this money for her children, the cost of taking care of them would eat all that money up, making it not even worth the money to rip-off the taxpayers.

Nadya is a 33-year-old single, unemployed mother, who gave birth to octuplets last month. The key word here is single and unemployed. First off, why would a single mother with this many kids? She had six and then went for more with the fertilization, so she obviously wanted more kids after six; as if six weren't enough. She doesn't even have a husband to help her take care of the kids - or, then again, maybe she is working the system more and has a boyfriend or two or three receiving money and just not marrying her to reap more benefits by being single. Secondly, she is unemployed! She knew she couldn't afford the kids, even if she only had another one, so why would she go through this, knowing that she didn't have the money to pay for it? Even more importantly, why did the doctor and hospitals allow her to do this? That is negligence, not only on the part of her but, also on the part of the medical establishments.

The medical establishments always make more money when people are sicker or women like this have eight kids at one time. So, it is in the hospital's best interest to have more patients because it pays the more. They have an incentive to allow women to have eight kids at one time.

Nadya's spokesman, Mike Furtney, said asked "people to consider her situation and she has been under a tremendous amount of pressure that no one could be prepared for." This is a bunch of baloney! She knew that she had six kids and she went for more kids. Not even knowing that she would have eight kids this time, even just one more kid would be too many for her to pay for. With that understanding, she was prepared for more government aid. What pressure is she under? The taxpayers are going to pay for all of it, not her.

On NBC's "Today," she said that she "doesn't consider the public assistance she receives to be welfare and doesn't intend to remain on it for long." If it is not welfare, then what the heck else is it? Of course it's welfare! Just admit it! As for the other part of her statement, how does she intend to pay for all 14 kids without the welfare? That is ridiculous! She has no husband, no job, no income of her own, and only a few million dollars in bills for the next decade and a half. There is no way that she could afford without the welfare. To say that she can get off of it soon, makes her even a bigger idiot than she already is.

Her family has set up a website to collect donations for the children. Government aid wasn't enough, now she is reaching out to the public. Essentially, she is double dipping because taxpayers are already paying for her bills to the government but, now she is asking for taxpayers to pay her directly. If this isn't an artificial and well thought out rip-off, I don't know what is! They even take credit cards! Well, isn't that special? She makes it easy for you to pay her bills. Isn't that sweet of her?

Take a look at our website, HERE. http://www.thenadyasulemanfamily.com/ Isn't it nice and colorful? Coming soon, we can expect an infomercial and special Beanie Babies or WebKinz with her and her children's images! Everything looked so, well, nice - too nice, all things considered. It just makes everything look commercialized and impersonal. Why setup a comment section? You can't tell me that they don't expect tons of negative comments? That's just asking for it.

Medical review boards all across the country should look at this case and others like it to develop a special set of laws to govern fertility treatments. It is just crazy and need some kind of governing before more women start to copy Nadya's example and we have millions of kids born without parents that have the means to support them themselves.

Nadya was on disability for a back injury over a decade ago while working in a mental hospital. That means that she was only about 23 years old at the time. Her working career had just begun and she threw the towel in already. Apparently, her back problem wasn't really a problem because she could carry 6 to 8 kids at a time using her back muscles to support them.

She used much of her disability money in order to pay for fertilization treatments. This is a joke! She was on disability for a back injury and the only thing she knows to spend her money on is babies and more babies. This is perfectly logical to me, is it for you? The hospital and doctors should have never let her go through with this. Maybe once I can understand but, never twice, especially without a husband or a means to support the children that could come of it. Just like Bush used to say, "fool me once..." I guess the old adage doesn't apply to Nadya. Watch out, she might go for 10 next time!

Nadya told NBC that she will go back to college to get a masters degree in counseling. What good will her degree do her? It is not like she will be able to pay for her children's care; instead, she will just be adding another bill to her tab. She already owes $50,000 in student loans. How does she expect to pay for her children's care, pay off her student loan and get a degree? Such nonsense.

We can learn one thing from this lesson about Nadya. She was probably one of the patients in the mental hospital, masquerading as a caregiver.
