If they can subsist on this minimal $21/week, that's good enough for me. In nearly every case I've seen here, soldiers, etc., the $21/week is supplemental to their other income, so saying they're eating on $21/week is misleading at best.

and AVERAGE of 21 dollars a week...either way, these people don't have the means to exist.
And please be mindful a lot of these immigrants (a whole other topic too BTW) work under the table and for what they are getting would make some of them 'kings' as opposed to staying home, but weigh in the other factors...
altho they EARN a decent wage, they have no access to insurance and proper health facilities, they can't LEGALLY open a bank account to save their money and MOST of what they earn goes back home in some cases to help another family member get here legally or even to skimp up enough to get themselves legalized.
I am glad to see the cynicism in the fact that you believe that getting an education will get you a job that will keep you from getting food stamps.
Question, what would you do if you lost your job and home tomorrow and then wound up in a debiliating accident on Monday.....?
