Octuplets Mom On Foodstamps

Just when you thought that the Nadya Suleman story couldn't get any worse it comes out that she is recieving foodstamps. She can afford thousands of dollars worth of IVF treatments, but can't afford to feed her children. Foodstamps are there for people who really need help, not people who bring misery upon themselves. Do you notice how none of her plans involve her working.

$1.5 million. That's how much financial experts say it will cost the Southern California mother of octuplets to raise all 14 of her kids.

33-year-old Nadya Suleman gave birth to octuplets last month. She conceived the newborns - and her other six kids - through in vitro procedures.

That has sparked a debate and at least two investigations over whether she should have been able to have that many embryos implanted.

But right now, the top priority for the single, unemployed mom is how to pay for the next 18 years.

Financial experts say food alone will cost $22,000 a year, just for the kids.

Suleman says she plans to temporarily rely on student loans, and go back to school in the fall. Her publicist says she gets about $500 a month in food stamps.
