Ehrenreich is a woman who goes out of her way to bash America and the American dream. All the while, she had a safety net on this ridiculous journey. There is nothing realistic about her staged journey. It is about as real as reality television.

She truly has NO clue what it is like to be poor, and she surely does not have any clue of what it takes to claw your way out of that situation...a feat that ANYONE with the desire and drive can do. However, with books like hers, anyone who is in a poverty situation can use her staged situation as an excuse to sit around and blame rather than fix it.

Nothing like an author that intentionally inspires sloth, poor choices, blaming others, and poverty.
