Maybe that will give people the true perspective of what it is to actually be poor. These are the people who should be helpped with entitlements, not all those that have their shopping list for Sears, KMart, Walmart with their babydaddy in tow. This country claims to have such a poor population, yet when you look at what those people are left with you get a real picture of what poor is and who should be helpped. These people didn't drop out of high school and have a bunch of kids or get on drugs and claim poverty as result of those bad choices; these are people who through no fault of their own need help and are the sort of situations that entitlements were originally intended to provide relief.
