Sounds like you haven't had to deal with family members in abject poverty before?
My parents can't work, for example. They're both disabled and rely on food stamps plus medicare just to survive. This puts a rather large financial burden on me at times to say the least, because I would rather not see my parents starve to death.
If only we had a government that took better care of people in poverty. Imagine that.
- rhexs 8y agoHow, exactly, are they going to starve to death on food stamps? Some sort of fancy medical diet Medicaid isn’t covering?
- fzeroracer 8y agoBecause food stamps gives them about 180 dollars a month to feed two people. That's hardly enough to survive a month, especially for two disabled people that also have trouble cooking for themselves.

- fzeroracer 8y agoUnfortunately they've tried and were denied.
