Should an able bodied woman with joint custody be getting welfare and foodstamps?

Question

Do you think its legal and right and morally acceptable for an able bodied woman with two teenage children who are in school all day, and joint custody with her ex-husband to choose to NOT work, and instead collect welfare and foodstamps and financial assistance to attend school?

Should this woman be given a totally free ride when she only has the children every other week?

No anyone who is able bodied and chooses not to work deserves no welfare. and to not penalize the kids send them with their father if he is able or another family member. If you make the choice not to work on your own free will you deserve to starve. Because people who choose not to work and have everyone else pay for them are bringing down society.

I do not think  she is going to tell any welfare office. "i am choosing NOT to work, so give me a check" more then likely she is saying she is trying to find work but can't find anything..

No, that's not good for the country, or her. She needs to get a meaningful job so she can feel worthwhile instead of sitting around eating bon-bons while the rest of us support her.
