Have I ever lied to you?
   Try existing on $610 a month welfare in Toronto for a month or two.
  I think that's about what welfare paid in 1980 - about $610.
    That's really low low low on the income ladder. And people tend to kick you down if you try to make it up. 
  Harder than ever to get welfare. Hard to be dehumanized on welfare. Hard to live on $610 a month. Hard to find money needed to go out on the job hunt trail.
