Worth pointing out: The author claims she drove her Mercedes to pick up "food stamps" but she's talking about WIC. My wife has lots of moms on WIC. Yeah, you have to verify income but it's a lot less grim than she makes out, at least in the states I'm familiar with. Of course, Connecticut is not one of those states. I agree with TNG that there's a lot of trauma in shedding 100 large in salary and 150 large in house value, but I agree with you that "income verification" is not a large part of that trauma. I mean, FFS. You have to bring paystubs to get your natural gas turned on in Washington.
