Nadya Suleman, the mother of the octuplets born last month,
gets $490 a month in food stamps, the Los Angeles Times reported
Monday evening. Three of her first children also get federal
supplemental security income because they are disabled, the Times
reported.
Suleman's publicist, Michael Furtney, confirmed the
information.
During an interview with Ann Curry on the TODAY show, Suleman
denied being on welfare.... Furtney said Suleman didn't consider
the food stamps and SSI to be welfare. "In Nadya's view, the money
that she gets from the food stamp program ... and the resources
disabilities payments she gets... are not welfare," he said. "They
are part of programs designed to help people with need, and she
does not see that as welfare."
NBC chief medical editor Dr. Nancy Snyderman has estimated the
cost of delivering the infants and caring for them until they are
healthy enough to leave the hospital at $1.5 million to $3
million.
I'm not sure what's more tragic - the idiotic mindset, the fact
that she has a
PUBLICIST, or that we're flipping the bill for this
nonsense. Who's paying for her publicist!?!?!
This is just silly
