The woman sounds like they were in legitimate need for govt assistance and no one should be saying anything to her face when using that assistance.
BUT, I completely disagree with one of her main premises in the video.
You absolutely SHOULD be ashamed to have to rely on govt assistance. When you see pictures of ppl in bread lines in the 1930's, they were not proud to be there.
This mindset of entitlement that has beset the current generation has completely fricked up this country. No one has any memory or clue what its like to have to fight to maintain our freedom from foreign enemies or to have to fight to not go hungry.

They looked that way because they were starving.
I'm stunned that people cannot understand the Depression was nearly a century ago and cite it's point in history as a measuring stick for subsidies today. We have since taken over the planet and live in a country that is awash in cash, dragging a glut of displaced labor along amidst a proliferation of outsourcing and automation.
Some people just need work to earn and there is not enough busy work available. Much of the labor performed today is superfluous and could be easily eliminated. Easily. The transition to a white collar existence and a creative economy comes with a lot of baggage.
