I know someone who makes about $300 per week before taxes and gets
$1100 from the state for child care, $350 for WIC (diapers and shit), $450 for food and I think about $600 - $800 for her housing allowance. She has two kids so she also gets a state
paid insurance card for her and the kids which covers their health care.
She's about 23 years old and is looking to buy a house for $210,000 at 1% interest
and 50% paid by a federal program for community development.
Poor people in the US are rich compared to most nations !
