This theme was touched upon in another thread and I wanted to discuss it further.

Not by themselves.

"The other people living near her were able-bodied adults also. BUT..they all had the latest toys, etc. I guess if you only pay $30 (or however low compared to regular apts. around) a month for rent, you can afford the toys. "

So not only was the original person you mentioned family/friend but everyone living around her was also?

You have a wide circle of friends.

Do your friends know how much you disrespect them?

Why are they your friends if you disrespect them so much?

The problem is more nuanced than any you espoused.

It's not really "LOL". Many economists predicted the housing bubble, politicians and the greed induced banking system did not.

But if you really want to debate macroeconomics and the US economy, bring it on.

Nope. Just one job, did not make that much but decent money that could have gone toward a normal rent but why would you do that if you qualify for section 8 and pay almost nothing.

Yes. Diapers aren't covered by either program, though.
