Come on folks. We're slackin' off on posts, with only 282 thus far, on this ridiculous story. We can do much better than that. If we do not reach at least 300, it will all have been in vain.

I don't understand why this article was written at all! Why didn't you keep your persoanl life personal. I'm wondering if your landlord of a 2 bedroom apartment knows just how many people are living there???????

Plain and simple. Don't make kids you can't afford and take care. Be choosey about who you lay down with. Be responsible for your own life as in education, having a job, and supporting your self before making new human beings with no daddies and hooking up with a deadbeat and prison material.

Ok yeah we all know they messed up putting there shit out! But people make mistakes. The people we should be mentioning this stuff about is the CEO's that the government bailed out, who get millions a year, then turn around and sell there company's over sea's. Taking away from our tax dollars and from our jobs. Those are the people that should be getting all this SLANDER!!! These posts are funnier then the Kate plus 8 story. It must be a PA thing! If the government would've given the american people that money I bet we would have made better use of it to help our economy. The government is so mislead lately that even the newspaper is taking advantage of people.I highly doubt the Cox family would have asked the newspaper to make them look bad. I bet the Cox family thought the story was going to go in a whole different direction then how it turned out. But HEY THAT'S THE WAY THE COOKIE CRUMBLES!!! Thank you for your time!
Time for a fact check.....name one company that got bailout money and then was sold overseas? There are none. In return for bailout money, the government got ownership interest in those companies. As the owner, the government can control was the CEO's get paid!!! If they got millions it is the government's fault!

The whole TARP program was a joke.$788,000,000,000 that 788 BILLION folks!!! They could have sent every man woman and child a check for $2,600!! for a family of 4, that's over 10,000! That would have spurred the economy more than any other BS program they put out there!! We do agree on that.

why wasn't it mentioned in the article that the 32 year old son lives with the family? why did the article read that he only stays with them "occasionally"?

all these comments from readers are directed at the mother and daughter, but the son lives there too and has a full-time job with steady income. why isn't he shouldering some of the burden financially, and the social burden of defending the family here on this messageboard?

why doesn't the article clarify where all their money is going? and if the article was about "hidden poverty" in general, why the focus on only one family? What about the guy who stands at the corner of east market and south belmont street with the 'will work for food' sign? why single this family out and set them up for such criticism alone?

Wow....you people think what you read in this article was bad....what the article failed to mention is that coleen's 32 year old son also lives in the household, I wonder if welfare knows about that? So not only are their two adults in the house not working, but their are two adults who are (coleen and her 32 year old son) So why is their a financial hardship with two people working full time????? You figure it out.... combined income and welfare..i call this taking advantage of the system WELFARE FRAUD!

I know how that works. You call welfare fraud line and turn these people in. Nothing is done. Why? Because the more people on the rolls the more the case workers have jobs. A catch 22 for the taxpayers. And these welfare bums know it. They aren't so uneduacted to know how to work the system. The ones that really need it seem to be few. Same with SSI turn people in nothing. I go to work everyday and this peos me off to have money stolen out of my paycheck for thee never ending theives and at their leisure.

Why are we paying young girls to have babies. Welfare should be for those who need help at sometime as their chiildren are growing and find theirselves in financial distress for a periiod. These young giirls get pregnant knowing full well that the daddy and them plan on the taxpayer supporting them. What sense is this practice that our government lets it go on.

Now that there are leaves to rake, I haven't seen that guy with his sign. Maybe he moved south for the winter.

Um, did it ever occur to you that not everyone has a money management problem? Some of us actually know how to budget, save, and invest!

I understand you. I work in a field that sees this kindof behavior daily. The takers and the state willing to give more and more to them while theyscam the system. Or are they really scammming or is it the system is so corrupt and lazy that the people who really are in need are pushed to the side while these takers get it over and over. You are right. tired of working to support freeloaders like this family and household.

Maybe this family should see the tent city along the river in Columbia or just walk around the streets at night. Now that's homeless. They should stop feeling sorry for theirselves and stop the fake begging and get a reality check and do something to take care of their problem. And the answer is not more handouts. Go get jobs no matter the pay rate and keep a roof over your younf ones heads. With all those employable adults in that household there is certainly no reason for them being in this positon but laziness or the thought they are entitled to live off of the taxpayers. Last one to the youg couple. Stop lusting and get jobs and quit making babies you can't afford. Use 2 condoms since you won't stop having sex. Sex should be your main priority. Having a job and a roof over your heads and food in your stomach should be uno numero. What part don't your family understand? It is obvious.

Daily Horoscope for January 7

Capricorn

You'll have difficulty finding equilibrium in your emotional life at the moment; try to control the impulsive side of your character. At work, your usual powers of intuition will be clouded. Fits of feverishness may bother you and break down your energy. If you can get out into the countryside for a walk, you'll feel much better.
