A lot of people agree with that statement. They give you less then half what they project you need to just survive but they monitor ANY income you make besides that incase they can reduce or eliminate your welfare. So people become afraid to work a low paying job without benefits since the money would not be much more(if any more at all)and the loss of food stamps and medical benefits could make them and/or their kids go hungry or without medical care.
It's a double-edged sword. Fear of losing the help does cripple a lot of peoples ability to actually help themselves. The system is setup so its helps people with nothing but it should be changed to help those with nothing be able to pull themselves out of that hole.
