Not that I agree with abusing the system, but let me play Devil's Advocate a minute (I love doing that )
The area they are in, Fostoria, is really small, separated by lots of land. The average mileage on cars there is 30 to 40K a year because work and home and stores for groceries is so spread out. The town itself is a small town on a major state route junction. First thing would be for them to move.
Lots of the business there is by travellers to places like restaurants and gas stations. If people aren't driving as much (which is true) and they aren't spending as much on restaurant or fast food to save money (which they are) that town's "industries" would suffer. When she says restaurants and such aren't hiring, she probably isn't lying.
Getting a job elsewhere would involve driving to the next biggest town, the hole that is Toledo. Driving 40 miles each way to get the only job available in that dying town (McD's) isn't at all wise.
Now granted the fat bitch needs to die AND stop abusing the system, she might make some real points. She is of course taking them to her advantage, but the point that lower income people living in a town that has no public transport (which Fostoria does not have) and that the average commute is double digits (negating the argument for walking or even biking) in an area with 4 seasons, finding a job would be difficult. Also, she probably has no money to transfer to a better city, either, so she's in essence stuck.
The bitch still needs to die, though.
