That’s because the government benefits went up the parents noses or into a hole in their arm. It’s the same with a lot of poor whites. They rake in stuff from government benefits, churches and charities and resell it for drugs. I’ve seen this done firsthand and it really puts a damper on my “charitable” feelings.
