Oh, come on. Didn’t everyone see this coming? She’s an irresponsible, unemployed single mother who decided to have fourteen kids with no source of reliable income. Finding out she’s a welfare leech is like discovering Charlie Sheen is a douchebag. Everyone already assumed as much.

With 14 children and no income, Octo-Mom is going on welfare.

Since giving birth to octuplets, Nadya Suleman has supported herself by selling access to her life, but a TV deal that she hoped would turn into a reality series fizzled.

Apparently that entirely predictable outcome has left her in financial ruin. Meaning you and I get to pick up the tab for her and her fourteen kids.

“Nadya is running out of money very quickly,” a source close to the infamous mom told RadarOnline.com. “She’s still hoping to pull off a deal that will pay her a fortune but at this point it just doesn’t seem possible.”

She decided to have children for 15 minutes of fame. Now she’s gambling their welfare and future on a possible reality show deal that’s likely to never happen. So we’re left buying their diapers, baby food, clothing, and even paying for their education for the next eighteen years.

“Nadya will never come out publicly and say she’s going on welfare but everyone close to her and familiar with her situation knows that it’s going to happen very, very soon. She needs the money. She has no choice at this point.

“And she’s been on public assistance before.”

Apparently she had the kids in order to become famous, which she figured would bring in enough money for her to go to college and become successful. You know, I’m all for self improvement, but you don’t gamble the lives of children on an uncertain reality show deal.
