So I'm reading an article in the Roanoke Times. Every year at this time they have a daily feature on the Good Neighbors Fund, so people who donate to the fund know what their money is going to.

There was this quote in today's feature:
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Richardson receives $154 a month in food stamps, the children are on Medicaid and the family has a Section 8 housing subsidy. Otherwise, aside from four months she spent on Temporary Aid to Needy Families after the birth of her second child, they receive no public assistance.
</div></div>
No public assistance? What do they think food stamps, medicaid and section 8 are? Food, healthcare, and housing - that's a pretty significant amount of assistance.

Not holding that quote against the program or anything, because it is a good program, but it's just a dumb quote.
