Let's establish one undisputable fact. Food Stamps are by design supposed to HELP (subsidize) with food purchases, not be the sole source of food.
What ol’ Sleepy Ted isn’t taking into consideration is this; While it is difficult to buy food for a week for 1 person on $21.00 a week, it’s easier to pool your resources and buy for 2. Add a few rug rats and all of the sudden you have as much money as most conscientious shoppers spend on groceries. Throw in a few coupons and boom, you’re eating just fine.
Living on food stamps isn’t supposed to be easy or the sole source of your food. If you’re an out of work Software Engineer and can’t find a job in that field, 7/11 and Burger King are hiring. $10.00 an hour + benefits. Put a few dollars in with the food stamps instead of in the crack pipe and you’ll eat well. I know it pisses you off because your ‘hard earned’ cash should go for drugs or booze, but that’s the breaks.
What you can’t buy are the expensive ready to heat and eat Kashi / Lean Cuisine / Stouffers. You actually have to prepare meals instead of sitting in front of the tube feeding your face.
If they raise the amount per person, you’d have to buy fewer cans of coffee to take back and get cash, to buy beer. That would be more convenient I suppose.

Economy of numbers!!
The thought doesn't fit his little brain.
Greg,
I would like to get your help in getting the word out about the Northwest Conservatives Forum. I think it could be a great central hub for all of us to get together, share ideas, and organize. Liberals are good at organizing, that's how then get where they are today. Let's use that same tactic. If we do, we have an advantage, common sense and logic.
