We have programs like section 8 to help people that are in need, don't ever knock someone for receiving it until you hvae walked a few hundred miles in their shoes. I for one am a single mom and I have a job with no section 8, but it's not all that easy for everyone out there. By the way it's hard to get child support for a lame father. Trust me I know, I deal with it every month, he always seems to slip throught the cracks.
