Yes it was. Surely you must realize that your experience is not the sum total of the way of life for the poor. Far, far more poor people do not get government assistance than do. So while you may know some poor people with bad budgeting skills who take advantage of the system, there are many more who work and work and who do not. And to sflippantly ay, just get a better paying job is just silly. If it was that simple to just trade up to a better paying job, wouldn't we all?
