Clothes, other necessities to live.. Another $100.
Let's round it to an even $2000 a month overhead.

If she worked 50 hours a week she's only at $1500.

Nebe, here's what you (and most liberals) arte leaving out of your little hypothetical scenario...we are responsible for our actions, and if th ebest job you can get is $7.50 an hour, you have no earthly business having children. Nebem how much of your hard-earned money am I entitled to, if I make stupid decisions? If I cash out my 401(k) and by lottery tickets, and then I go bankrupt, how much of what you have worked for, am I entitled to?

You don't need to itemize expenses. Everyone knows that it's tough to raise kids on $7.50 an hour.

We can't solve this problem by throwing money at it. If we could solve it that way, we would have, as we have spent tend of trillions on the war on poverty, and we haven't reduced poverty.
