So are you saying that there is absolutely no way that you would ever receive government assistance (i.e. welfare or food stamp benefits) because you despise the idea or are your finances so secure that you could survive a major financial breakdown without any outside assistance (other than family, if necessary)?


You don't really have to answer that I know its not my business, its really a rhetorical question.

I actually agree with your post (I'm one of those flaming conservative types)

Unemployment benefits are a social welfare program.

There's no basis for your argument.

Karen, You have to realize the people you are referring to are only a small minority compared to people who have really fallen on hard times and need help to get through them.

Where in this grand country rent for $700? I live in NY downstate, where a shoebox can cost you over $100o or more.


The minimal wage doesn't even pay the rent here.
