When the mothers tried to apply for welfare an inspector would barge into their houses and try to find any reason for these moms not to receive welfare.

Even though this is a big reason why the market crashed in 2008. This has a much bigger impact on people than welfare does but people don’t realize it because it’s harder to see than the lady standing right in from of you in your local grocery store.
