I heard Katie call in on the show, I honestly didn't read all three pages of this thread but i read enough to see that the general opinon is that Katie is wrong here. I was on wic when my daughter was born. Trust me its not that much. My husband was active duty in the army at the time, so we weren't taking advantage while being unemployed. Even if you are breastfeeding you can still get wic. There is a HUGE difference between welfare and wic. Honestly, what I pay for daycare now with one child ($800 a month) it wouldn't even be worth her working just to cover the cost of child care.
