I was on food stamps when my son was born, and let me tell you, I got off of them as soon as I could. I was used to being self-sufficient, but being pregnant (I got a small sum called "relief") and having a newborn made it difficult to work as a hairdresser.(I forgot to mention I took in ironing until the baby was born). The outline covered here is important to know on all levels. Not supporting the "influencers" is good advice as there are wealthy people who certainly don't need the added income to further their status or pockets. The ego loves all the attention tho. What grieves me is the amount of reform that needs to be done and it most likely won't happen in this short time. I pity the toll that this can take on good honest people trying to make this world a better place. And woe to those who undermine this effort, they will be held accountable either here or on the other side!
