They are located in San Deigo. We in California are going thru such a drought right now...this is so needed (aside from the food stamps aspect)

Yeah, these kind of things make sense.

It takes about 400 a month to feed my family of 4. So you're down 25% of your income for food straight out of the gate. Don't forget rent, usually around 5 to 600 a month even for small places. Electricity runs about 100 a month, water about the same.

Now we're down to abut 350 a month. Now fuel. Now clothes. Now if you need internet for your kids to do school work, almost mandatory now. Now a car payment, 200 a month. Now insurance for that car. Have to have a car and insurance to get to work in most places.

The point is, 1800 a month, before taxes, isn't that much to live on.

But likely at years end they get that back plus unearned income. Poverty does not include any other source than defined as income .

I suggest if you aren't in a position to afford children, dont have them. .

And if you already have them: kill them just to please your conservative overlords.

Of course people who cry about welfare the most are those who themselves took advantage of government subsidies, often even without knowing it.
