"Why are we giving the film industry over $35 million in tax credits if we can’t afford an earned income tax credit for our poor?

Because ONE creates jobs while the other sucks us dry.  I'd like someone to explain to me why/how, a girl in my office, has a husband who has sat at home for over 3 years without HAVING to find a job DUE TO section 8 paying their rent.  He was going to GET a job UNTIL their section 8 was approved.  WE ARE MAKING POVERTY with our policies.  NO work search requirement?!!!
