When reading these two stories, which were very interesting, seemed to be a little over the top for me. I was trying to read these stories with an open mind, but found it hard when I got to the end of the story. If you think about it, there are many programs out there where lower class society can get help. For example, mothers or families that don't have enough cash to get the food they need for their family may qualify for WIC http://www.fns.usda.gov/wic/ Also, in the story nickel and dimmed the author explains that she had enough money to do what she needed to do with 22$ left over. Although she complained that she wouldn't have enough money to buy medial supplies. The access card http://www.togetherrxaccess.com/en/about_together_rx_access.html services families or individuals that can't always afford their medical needs. Along with those services there are also food pantry's and soup kitchens along with others. I'm sure that if a person looks hard enough they can find people or the government to help them.
I do agree that living on no money or very little is hard. But there may be ways around it, the services may not solve all your problems, but they can help some.
