Before I got my second job I went to the public assistance office to apply for food stamps and medicaid. It's  one of the hardest things I've had to do. To suck up my pride go in there and apply for assistance. I sat  there filling out the application while the group of women next to me coached each other on how to fail interviews and alter their paperwork in order to keep there " welfare benefits". I torn up that application and went out and got myself another job. So No Mr. Tell The Truth, I am not "stereotyping". Maybe instead of research you such go out and do some field work. Go sit in the public assistance office or visit one of those homeless shelters and talk some of those people....the "vast majority" of those people are looking for HAND OUTS not a HAND UP. 😑
