it is absolutely ridiculous to ever consider asking for public money before doing everything you can for yourself. this type of problem could be easily solved by changing the law so that everyone who applies for food stamps or other public assistance has to actually collect something like 100 signatures for the application to be approved. people who ask for public assistance as an avenue to prevent their lifestyle from being disturbed when s*** happens should be put on trial and locked away at their own expense.
