man, I'm glad I don't live there. Here in Canada I live in a Co-Op, my rent is $240 for a 3 bedroom townhouse. Disability is about $1400 per month, plus we get $1200 per month for having kids, plus $140 for heating per month.


So total:

$1400 disability
$1200 Canada Child Tax Credit
$140 Gas something payment
plus $250 GST credit every 3 months


not bad, also drug and dental plan. In the states you guys have a ME versus WE attitude, I never understood this but whatever.
