A well-thought out, well-written entry that deals with the theme of people judging all on welfare without thinking about circumstances.

Well some families do make a killing out of it here. On the other hand some come up against official prejudice and really have to literally beg to obtain anything at all. Being able tell porkies is probably is an advantage.

Well said and so sadly shows the real state of affairs in this country..
I had to get food stamps years ago for a short while and it was a jump through the loops thing then too, nearly 2 decades ago. Since conservatism towards people who truly need help has grown by leaps and bounds, (but stays very liberal; actually growing more for large corporations and folks with connections) this cruelty of reluctance and resistance is even worse.

I remember when my first marriage broke up that I had no money at all and had to get social security to eat. Every weerk I had to look for work but my anxiety was so prominent, I couldn't get a job anywhere. It was a nightmare. later they put me on the single parent pension because my youngest was still young enough for me to get it and at least I could survive. I took myself off to University and the rest is history but like you and like your daughter, it was something that I needed temporary to get through a bad time. but why they put me through the job thing when anyone could see that I was sick with grief and anxiety I don't know.
