Whatever, I didn't realize that receiving public assistance means you never get to have anything special ever. (And don't tell me you've never received any assistance, subsidized loans, tax breaks, or even help from your parents who got write offs for you.) We should just hand out beans and gruel at the workhouses, that was more efficient.

LOL, let's not get too dramatic now. Essentially what I'm saying is-

How about we give less to the lady who owns a 50in TV and cable television and more to the lady who has never been able to afford either in her lifetime.

And I'm saying that I'm glad your standards aren't the ones used, for a lot of reasons.

Hell you don't even know if she has cable but you're sure judging her hard.

With a bomb ass set up like that It would be a shame if she didn't have the HD package.......but if you look really really close you can see an Xbox and a cable receiver in the picture.

Thing is, I don't care. Being unemployed for a year means she needs assistance per the qualifications; if she sells everything she has and pays for power for 3 months it's not like more money for assistance is going to open up magically and she'll only be worse off the next time.

Surprisingly there are asset limits on many public assistance requirements, a TV and XBox aren't enough to throw it off.

As I said, judge away, but don't pretend you're not. Thankfully the rules don't care.
