Imagine being a single mother of 2 or 3 kids earning $14.00 $20.00 an hour working at WalMart on a 28 to 32 or even a 40 hour work week. And then take away her SNAP and Medicaid benefits and add in all the other items as HOTPE points out.

Not sure you even live in Hawaii. Everyone knows that at more than 19 hours per week, the employer must provide no-cost individual health insurance and she being a "single mother" with 2 or 3 kids means Quest is free for the kids, SNAP was never taken away (doing the math, she would get $800-$1200 a month) free school breakfast and lunches, free day care and after school care for the kids and would probably qualify for the reimbursed auto insurance as well as she is actively working. She would also file federal taxes as head of household with the dependents and get more back due to the E.I.C. than she ever paid in, by somewhere around $6000+ every year.
