[Mrs.TJTaylor]

I worked for 50 years, sometimes more than one job, then critical illness wiped me out. Fortunately I received help from my family and didn’t need to go on welfare or receive any kind of government assistance. But let me tell you, medical debt can trash your life. And this is in spite of the fact that I had very good health insurance, for which I was paying almost $600 out of pocket monthly. So, don’t be too snobbish and don’t count your chickens. . .

[Tangie]

You should do another video on the states with the highest rates of corporate welfare. Billions went to them during the pandemic alone & many of those companies didn't really need the money. We'll all be paying for that for a long time, especially combined with the tax cuts they got.

70 percent of Americans just one check away from poverty is unacceotable

[maedeandeaniewingertparkin]

Im 81 and my part B has gone up, rent up 57$ ebt cut from 44$ to 25$. So cola amt is absorbed before i even get it. SS raises "sound great " but they rsise everything so we do not even realize we got the raise.

[sandangels]

What you said about Louisiana makes sense. I have said for many years, "It isn't being poor that makes people the most miserable, it's how people are treated for being poor that does."

[Skinnyd]

I worked at my county welfare office for seven years (in a state that is not on this list), and I can tell you many things about the people who came through:
- they were not all ladies with nine kids and five baby daddies
- almost all of them worked
- whenever someone came into our office, it was because of a massive change in their lives and this is a way to get help
- they only utilized it for maybe a couple years
- there is quite a vetting process - not a perfect one, but a through one
- and most of the people who want to paint welfare recipients as lazy moochers would not condescend to even come within three miles of the place.

Not that I have any opinions on it...

[janestarr]

When I went to a woman's shelter, the first thing they helped us to do was apply for welfare. Like in other states, welfare is smeared by complaints that people were too lazy to work. When I told people in the newspaper that the majority of people who were receiving public assistance were mothers, children and seniors. I also published the phone number to report welfare fraud with the advice to continue to make their complaints. (The squeaky wheel gets the grease.)
I received a reply, that was an apology. The person did the research and admitted I was right. I wish more people would understand that welfare is a safety net for those who are disadvantaged.

[Gambit]

I'm from Louisiana, born and raised.
You mentioned Katrina, but only 3 weeks later, Hurricane Rita, a larger storm, wreaked Havoc from Lake Charles to Shreveport.
You mentioned also about our happiness? My mother and I sat on the porch eating cereal at 4 am with no power, watching as the eye of the storm passed directly over our house. A memory for as long as I live I'll never forget. 😀

Most of them vote against their own interests.😮😮

[donnakeehn]

I received food stamps for 2 years after my divorce. I then got a better job and no longer received them. Was very grateful for them at the time. Not sure I would have been able to feed my son as well as I did. It was back in 1991, I received $51 a month. May not sound like slot but it made a huge difference for us.

[David-pgoh]

That's because Mississippi spent all the Welfare money on a new volleyball stadium,

[maryfischer]

So, NM is number one for food stamps AND welfare yet here in Taos rents are $2500+ and home prices reaching a median of $500K! What a dichotomy.

[susanblackley]

For many corporations, getting ridiculously big breaks from government welfare has been going on for generations.

[lawrencewhite]

When I was eleven years old my father died. Are family had to go on welfare. It was extremely helpful to my family.

[miketrusky]

Years ago as a diesel mechanic, I asked for a raise, was told I was "just another dumb mechanic ". Started night school after 2 years job offers came to me, ended up in charge of 1, 200 people, Invest in yourself, people in the usa are usually paid according to their value to a company or society as a whole. You not only can do it, do it for the person you are

[typeorulz]

I grew up in Jeff Davis parish. Lots of poor people, but lots of self-sufficiency as well. I was born in 1962. We received an excellent public education even in a rural area. There was not much assistance back then. Having a wide network of family and friends is helpful in those times.

[WokeGirl]

When we needed help back in the '70s, the best we could get after a long approval process, was the free food, with the cheese block, canned meat, and powdered eggs. Dad abandoned his wife and 4 kids for a younger woman. Sold the house out from under my mother (a housewife with no work skills) and left us homeless. We had no choice but to appply for assistance and because it was in Puerto Rico, it wasn't a full welfare program, just the free food once a month that didn't last the entire month. Needless to say we did go hungry a lot. We literally slept outside until family housed us temporarily and then stayed in a rat infested abandoned building until housing opened up. Please keep in mind how much children suffer when they don't have anything due to no fault of their own.

[essbee]

Not surprised about Florida. I live in the Tampa area and we’ve had some of the highest rent increases in the nation since the pandemic. Not to mention so much of the new construction is for the luxury market. I work at a library and they literally tore down the affordable housing behind the library to build luxury condos. We have homeless people lining up at the door everyday for help and services.

[TimLucky-liln]

Dude, you're spot on about New Mexico. What you didn't discuss is that out in Indian Country over 20% of Natives don't have running water or electricity. It's rough out there

[stoneygreek]

I was raised in the 70s by my single mother. There 4 of us kids. Mother was too proud to get any help. She worked for minimum wage. I worked since I was 11. Never played any sports or did anything after school but work. I wish the hell she would have gotten it. It would have made our lives a lot easier. I’m 62 now, retired and did very well in life. I have no problem with welfare.
