They Keep Us POOR!

in poverty •  5 years ago 

My roommate and I just called the county 2 help my roommate get his food stamps renewed and since he made some more money with his job and we were doing a little bit better financially they reduced his benefits. You figure that. I also have Medicaid which is another county program. Medicaid itself as a federal program actually but I get it through the county MEDI CAL. THAT'S A STATE PROGRAM IN CALIFORNIA. But I draw the benefits through the county of San Diego. If I work just a little bit I will have to report the money I make and they may reduce my MEDI CAL benefits.
SO GO FIGURE I ACTUALLY DON'T HAVE A FINANCIAL GAIN AT ALL.they want to give us just a tiny bit of benefits and their excuses to give us incentive to work. Well not all this can work. And even if we could we get our benefits reduced in proportion to how much money we make or approximately or almost proportionate. Whatever the heck they can get away with. So here are my roommate and may stuck in this bind where they keep us poor. They wonder why we don't make any money they wonder why we don't work or they wonder why or burning out and unable to retire even with benefits and even with a part time job. They keep us poor. .
