I’ve seen those credit cards they give out and can notice if they are the welfare ones especially seeing as they use WIC stamps too and then complain about how they wanted a certain food not covered and it should be.
Even if they had signs on their backs saying I love you paying my food many of them would still never be ashamed.
so long as it is free to them then so be it.
A kid was boasting to my oldest son how they get free breakfast at school and food.
I told my son to tell them that it is not free I’m paying for it and he did tell the kid.
You know what the kid said?
HA HA what a sucker we had lots of food last night paid by your dad.
My son wanted to smack the little free loader but of course if he had then I would have been sued and my son called a racist.
This whole set up and PC has destroyed/is destroying this country.
No problem helping out someone who is hurting.
I’m classed as lower than middle class I’m blue collar working class and I work as my wife does very hard.
I refuse to accept that I have to pay for those in the projects/take handouts who make it a living all their lives
During the late 70’s when GM went on strike and my dad was laid off, our family qualified for food assistance for a few months.
It left my mother bitter. We’d never eaten better than when we received food stamps. There was food in the ‘fridge, we had chicken more often, sandwiches with meat on them rather than just peanut butter, fresh fruit, etc. It made mom angry that when my dad was working long hours to pay the bills our pantries were bare, but when we he wasn’t working we had food.
Now my husband trains social workers on the BRIDGES computer system (which crashes often) here in Michigan on how to process applications for food stamps. That’s all he’s doing for the forseeable future — train stand-up and webinars on food stamp processing. His job security is bittersweet.
This was a great country. Unfortunately, what made it great started dying a long time ago.
The situation is untenable, and like all untenable situations, it will collapse.
I am doing what I can to speed up the collapse.
