Ha!  That's cutting the poor family short!  I am related (by marriage) to a family that, due to disabilites from birth, the parents don't (and really never have) work.  The only income they have is Social Security Income (the disability version of Social Security, pays even less then normal SS) totaling to about $1200 per month.  With this, they have in addition to all of the above; a Playstation II, a PC newer and more powerful than my own, an entertainment center with a 32" flatscreen & basic cable, broadband internet, three cellphones on pre-paid service plans, microwave oven, DVD & DVR, multiple MP3 players and CD-R capable CD players, a two bedroom flat with rent control, and subsidies for heat and air conditioning.  Hell, up until just last month, they even had a car so that friends (or their sighted and now of age oldest son) would be able to drive them to the grocery store.  Did you know that a sighted child of a blind couple can get subsidies from the state for car insurance?  I sure didn't.
