Yeah, somethings wrong. She shouldn't have a pet if she can't provide for her family (is that the point of that?)
She shouldn't be buying a pack of one of the most addictive but legal substances known to humankind (exacerbated by tobacco industry chemicals); is that your point?
She definately shouldn't be driving a new Cadi when neither of us can afford one (I agree with you here, but the car almost definately belongs to someone else and/or is purchased with black/grey market dollars).
Of course, the part that sticks out most to me is that her children recieved food. That's the point of food stamps. At this point, I don't give a shit that she used her money for something besides feeding her kids. They didn't do anything wrong, they aren't lazy just because some fucknuts wants to waste her money--and they shouldn't starve.
