Yes it is to 'help', but when you are paying all utilities (water, sewer, garbage, electric,) plus homeowners insurance and the homeowners warranty, and the only thing they deduct from your income is the electric bill, it looks like you have plenty of money. After I pay my bills, I have $52 and my food stamps ($87) to buy groceries for the month. Thank God there is a soup kitchen here in town, or we would live on top ramen all the time.
