[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lost my job six months ago and for the first time in my life I qualify for grants, scholarships and government assistance.  What I have noticed is [b]if you are making zero income you qualify for all sorts of assistance, discounts and free items but when I was working I didn't qualify for anything and was going further and further into debt.[/b]

I am looking for work here and in cheaper cities but I can see why many people aren't motivated. When I get a job it will probably be under $100,000 (I have never made six figures) and I have a school-aged child to support as well.

DC is crazy expensive and I will never, ever judge those on assistance again. If I can't make it on $75,000 (what I made before) how can we expect those who'd only make minimum wage to?[/quote]

This isn’t WHY people are on welfare, but it is a reason why we need to protect and actually expand public assistance for those not well-served by our economy or struggling with extraordinary circumstances.[/quote]
