Thank you for so eloquently restating my point.
Let's start with how our victim became a "poor, uneducated, unconnected,
single welfare mom" in the first place.  Give credit where credit is due. 
The social bandaids are created by well-meaning socialists such as the
Democrats.  Unfortunately, they are being used to cover up a sucking chest
wound largely created by the very same well-meaning socialists.  One step
forward and two steps back.
