An eye opener, or really, an eye popper!

I was conflicted over the way public help, (our tax dollars), was sort of taken for granted and the very real need for some sort of assistance for these people so they could get on their feet. There is abuse of funds and there is lives on the edge. I did not see, even at the end of this book, a sound way to prevent the abuse of funds while making funds available for those who desperately need it.

Depressing. Informative. Real. Good work by Matt Desmond.

I could not fully buy into the authors ideas on solutions at the end of the book but one must have a starting point and his is as good as any I've ever heard.
