I agree with you to a point. But people can 'survive' on a dollar a day if they have to. Food, water and air is all we really need.

But we are supposed to be better than that. This guy wasn't some bum who dropped out of high school, and now spends all his money on drugs and liquor. I mean what happened to the American dream? You work hard all your life, get a good education, get a good job then someone else fucks up and you have to go live on the street?
You can get ahead, it's just harder during a depression.
