You joke, but it kind of is. Wake up at noon in subsidized housing, wait for EBT to hit the card, buy some junk food, hit up the doctors office without thinking of bills for anything ever. Maybe enroll in a few oddball classes for fun at the community college, totally free (they actually pay YOU). Play on your free phone, maybe browse the internet which is nearly free through comcast.


No schedule, no responsibilities, no anything really. Have some more kids? No problem, you actually get more benefits. 

A working family will have to scrimp and save, worry about mounting medical bills, where the food is coming from, how to keep the lights on. If you're poor enough, you never have to worry about any of that again.
