Jon Husted had thoughts he wanted to share- from twitter

Link to tweet

Sen. Jon Husted: "People living in poverty are just not very, um, experienced at navigating the real world, right? I remember talking to one young lady who said, 'Well, I don't really know how money works at a grocery store,' because she grew up and has lived all of her adult life using SNAP cards to buy groceries. You literally have to teach people how to budget ... the buzzword today, let's face it, is 'affordability.'"

People who live in poverty work two jobs, and if an unexpected repair bill, sickness, etc, they are screwed. So sick of the laziest 1%, who never worked hard a day in their lives, telling poor people aren't working hard enough.
