She added that she needed the money because she was unemployed and had bills on two houses to pay.

"It's just hard, you know," she told the TV station. "I'm struggling."

No mention of her being a mother, which I'm sure the media would mention if that were the case.  Get a job!  The stereotype is of the manchild living unemployed in his parents' basement, but I'd say this scenario is actually more common (unemployed young women leeching off their boyfriends, husbands, or parents if not welfare).  Slightly off topic, why is it still socially acceptable for stay-at-home moms turned housewives to remain unemployed for 20+ years after their children go to college.  Talk about early retirement!  There is really no excuse for not getting at least a part time job even by the time the kids are in elementary school.  By that age parenting is definitely a part time job.

I read that article and just laughed and laughed.

My first thought was, taxes paid for the ticket, so the state shoudl take it ALL from her!
