She lives in subsidized housing in Arlington, Virginia, with her 6- and 8-year-old sons. She used to drive a truck, but recent health issues have left her unable to work. She relies solely on government subsidies to survive, cobbling together just enough to support her children using social security payments, food stamps and cash assistance payments. If any one of those federal programs were to stall, Cochran could end up on the street.

She lives in one of the most expensive counties in the entire USA. Subsidized by the taxpayer. There are a lot of cheaper places to live in VA.

Hmmm...how old is she? 32-40?...says recent health issues are a problem. Maybe she was enjoying the benefits of welfare food a bit much before and is getting smarter about food planning, MAYBE?

Ever since I started working serious jobs full time, there has been exactly one time, two years ago, when I did not have to move for a better job. Everyone of those moves was out of state, save one, and that one was out of the country.

She needs to learn some life skills. I learned, my parents were children of the Great Depression.

I raised 3 boys sans child support and Food Stamps on $3.50 and hr to begin with, never earning more than $5.00 after 7 yrs. Worked sick, no real usable health ins. back then. They never went hungry, might not always have like all that Mac N cheese with a hot dog, but if that was what was available that is what you ate. Then we lived in a $65 a month shack, still paid the Utilities, car ins and a used car payment dad had to co-sign for. Didn’t take vacations either. Used rummage sales for clothes. Didn’t have a land line even. Yeah, I’m that old, I’ve got 6 G. Grands.
