I’m really curious where they pulled that $1.25 number from, because other than that one woman, I have never seen a skinny person using EBT.
Food stamps might be generous, but a person needs more than food. There’s something in the human spirit that yearns for that pride that comes with accomplishing something on your own, I think that’s why so many people on entitlements are angry all the time. There’s something missing and they can’t name it, so they just keep demanding more and more.
I’ve had several medical issues over the years that have kept me from working for months at a time. And while I’ve never qualified for government benefits, I can tell you that it chafes to have to take charity, even from family. I’d rather be working. Dignity is something nobody can give.
Yeah, agree with you wholeheartedly. I’m really not sure what the solution is - the folks who care about food stamps are the folks who aren’t taking the help - many of them folks who need help.
