Food producers are getting a free ride with the EBT card. How much of the non essential food group would be purchased by a family on a real budget! While they hit the Gov for maximum return the average family is in that loop. there can be no second tier so while raping the Government. The hard working are in the mix! I would like to be corrected on this but I think EBT card users get a discount @ the register. Guess who picks up that tab!

Born in the depression nothing was for free.

You had to work for everything, if I didn't do all my chores I didn't get my 25 cent / week allowance.

My parents weren't poor but nothing was for free.

I wanted a bicycle so I got a paper route when i was 8 and bought a used one the second month, 6 months later I bought a Whizzer engine for it.

no one was given a car and I went to work for my father plastering when I was 14 and on my 16th birthday I had a ritchous 40 Ford coupe finished and waiting at the curb when I came home with a license on my 16th birthday.

Was taught by my parents that if you didn't have the money , you didn't need it. i have lived by that rule all my 77 years except for our first home that i took a mortgage on 80% and paid it off in 20 years.

I even waited to buy my airplane until I had the money to pay for it which cost almost 3 times what our house did.

Life in the 40s and 50s was great before government stuck their nose into it.

55 years ago we could see what a socialist mess we were headed for and made the decision not to have kids so they wouldn't have to live through the nightmare.

What we have today we expected at least 20 years ago but due to a small bunch of conservatives fighting it, it was delayed until now.
