Dear Single Moms on Welfare: Watch out! Rick Santorum is on to your trickery.

At Saturday’s GOP presidential forum hosted by Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum sounded off the many ways that the federal government supposedly opposes marriage. In particular, he highlighted the supposedly common phenomenon of single welfare mothers who aren’t marrying their live-in boyfriends so they can get extra goodies from the government:

I’m sure everybody, a lot of folks listening here tonight, are gonna know people who are, who father and mother are living together, but they’re not married, for the reason they’re not married is so they, mother, can receive welfare benefits to help support that child, those children.

Yes Rick, I’m sure everybody watching knows a family just like that. Living in sin, but also in style, thanks to those ever-so-generous welfare checks.
