As to the woman in question, actually she bought the $4000 flat-screen for her boyfriend who hit her kids and was all around a jerk. She and he shared an opiate addiction. They ignored the kids other than to buy them cheap crap from time to time. They played video games, snorted crushed morphine pills and watched movies on their giant TV.
They didn't get food stamps because they both collected unemployment and she got child support from the dads of her kids so they didn't qualify~too much income for cash-strapped, fascist run MI to give them benefits.
I mostly felt sorry for her being so mired in that world she couldn't see clearly enough to make smarter choices.
This was a few years ago. Her addiction got so bad she moved back to Montana with her kids so that she could get help from her family. That didn't happen, she graduated to injecting the drugs and prostitution to buy them. Her kids are in foster care, she was headed for prison but had hep C and was 7 months pregnant and a raging heroin addiction. That is the last I heard of this tragic tale.
Any other details I can provide so you don't continue making erroneous assumptions?
