And how do we know when that picture was taken?
This is another thing that drives me nutz.
If you are so poor.... that if you lose your job, you are instantly going to be without food.....
Why do you have a cell phone? Do you not get this?
Cancel the cell phone, and save up that money you are blowing, into a banking account for when you have an emergency like an unexpected lay off.
As I said before, I've been unemployed many times. Never once have I been in a position that I was needing welfare and food stamps, because if I don't have money in the bank, I don't spend money on anything. ANYTHING. I save up money in the bank until I have enough that if something should happen, then I have cash ready.
Let's say that picture is from 6 months prior to her lay off. $600 in the bank more, can buy a lot of rice. You can feed your kids for weeks, before needing food stamps.
I've done this myself. Now granted the longest I have ever been unemployed was about 2 months, because I get out there, and find myself a job. But even then, I had several thousand in the bank, and cut my spending down to ZILCH. You can last a long time, if you buy the bare necessities, and if you are not dumb as a rock, and blowing every extra dollar out of every check, so you have no money in the bank.
When you are that dumb, why should society be forced to pay for you?
And again.... what we teaching these kids? We are teaching them that as an adult you don't have to be responsible and frugal, and society will bail you out when you don't have money set aside for emergencies.
Then we wonder why we have constantly poor people.
