[quote=Anonymous]For those of you suggesting government assistance or complaining about people looking for handouts, let's get real! The federal poverty level for a family of four is $23,050 a year. (And yes, plenty of families in DC live on that or less per yer- just not in anywhere some of you might be willing to live.) To qualify for most major government assistance (food stamps, housing assistance, etc.) you cannot make more than 175% to 200% of the federal poverty level- so you would have to be making less than $46,100 per year to qualify for that kind of assistance. To people receiving government assistance, 55K probably sounds like a dream![/quote]
