That's the whole point of being poor in America--you can buy things, especially with someone else's money. 99% of people living under the poverty level have telephones, own tv's and vcr's. I never heard of anyone giving up smoking because they couldn't afford it. Most people on welfare own cars and 40% own their own homes. One of my friends was working an emergency payment helpline for a utility company and a woman called in who couldn't pay her bill--but the call was placed from the woman's cell phone!

Actually, it's probably highly realistic that the kid who buys the PSP is the poor kid and the other kid who is in line to get one is from the household of the single working mother, who was heckled into getting out of bed.

Um, welfare paid for it? I've been in areas where people were on welfare and I've seen people with big screen TV's and so on while I work and watch a 1982 Zenith. B-) I do think the idea of the safety net is good but when people use it as a hammock it is bad. IIRC, Kenny's who family is on welfare.
