This is the retirement plan of many...
New Toyota Corolla in driveway, Section 8 pays 2500 rent each month... you pay $125
All utilities discounted... cell free... high speed internet $10.
It is an entire way of life many have no idea it exists... even paid to take care of your grandkids.
Medical full coverage often at no cost including prescriptions.
Discounted Public transportation.
It must be good because the wait list for a single family home voucher is 5-7 years..
you are forgetting child care, food stamps, medicaid, the list just goes on and on. Free internet so they can look for a job?
the best one was they were having pizza delivered on food stamps while they squat on the couch to watch jerry springer, that was portland. had to stop that.
article 10 years ago said single gal with 2 kids would need to make $65K per year to just break even. they don't qualify for a $65K job and....who's gonna do that anyway?
another good one was/is....in some areas, if you are on medical weed and on welfare, you get a huge discount and.......wait for it.....they deliver it to you.
A few years ago i read the average age for a grandmother in one federal housing project is 32. that's a career choice with no other options.
food stamps have a direct and indisputable link to the obesity epidemic....that from the dept of ag web site.
then, look into corp welfare and govt employment. lots of folks willing to take what they can.
It's hard to blame people, the welfare queens or the Warren Buffetts for taking advantage of any situation, that's exactly what people do.
It's the govt and their band aid after the fact knee jerk reactions.
It's the government, not the people.
