    Man, the couple years I qualified for $175 a month in food stamps was great. I still had plenty of things to worry about, but eating wasn’t one of them.

    Then I got promoted at work with a .25 cent raise and lost the benefits, effectively making me poorer than I had been previously.

    Still qualify for low income housing, though, which is nice.

      The thing about welfare cliffs is that both sides acknowledge them and want to solve them, but either side will fight to the death to prevent the other side from implementing their solution.
