[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I loved this series.
It focused on how the system really does not encourage single mothers to get ahead and find prosperity.
It seems welfare is a trap that the government uses to keep people from doing better.[/quote]

Agreed. And even the happy ending is a farce. Notice how they sneak in a few mentions of Alex taking out student loans to go to college. When she graduates, she’s going to struggle with that albatross like most millennials.

It never ends. The American system is set up so that breaking out of poverty is an anomaly. There are roadblocks every step of the way.

Land of opportunity my a$$, this country is a playground for the rich.

If she continued cleaning homes through college (advertise on the locally hoarding board) AND lived frugally - she has a way she can head out. It would take incredible determination but she could do it. She only took $9000 out  in loans, if I recall correctly. Obviously that means she was not planning on having all living expenses paid via borrowed money. She now knows the system more, works under the table some, etc. [/quote]
