I have a lady that works for me she is divorced 2 teenage kids, no child support. When she came to work for me she was on welfare getting food stamps medicade. Her meds alone cost just under $500.00 a month. (starting salary minimum wage)-And her daughters meds are about half that a month. She also is living in Goverment housing, They raised her rent up $150.00 per month cut out her meds took away the food stamps. She came to me and said that she was going to have to quit because she could not afford to work.
Here is some one that is trying to get ahead in life and get off of the system and not depend on the government but before she can even get a foot on the ground they cut her off at the knees. So I cut her back to 3 days a week and now she qualifies for help.
Go figure
They tell you to go to work and when you do they make it so hard on a person that you have to quit so that you can get the help that you need.
