Today’s society has to realize that people living in poverty need financial assistance. In 2012, food stamps kept four million people out of poverty (United States). Government assistance programs are a necessity. There are Americans who are eager to work but don’t make enough money to have a basic standard of living. Senior citizens depending on social security checks are liable to be in poverty because they are on a fixed income. In the situation with my mother, she wanted to work but her job didn’t have the money. The government helped my mother and me in our time of need. Government programs were made to help people in poverty, not for people with no motivation in life. Sometimes in life, a father loses his job or a mother loses her job, and require support, and that is what the government assistance programs are
