When did she use "what they claim to need" as the measuring stick for what they get?

We can all see someone who has food and medical care and hear them say they need more, but if we see that they are fed and healthy, that "what they claim to need" may not be identical with "what they need"

So don't go straw-manning *that* hard. You'll look much more reasonable if you straw man slightly less hard.
