I used to feel the same way until I learned recently that people who take in foster children get food stamps to help feed the children. My sister died last year and her husband was abusing my neice, so I now have custody of my neice. Due to the social security death benefit, my neice isn’t eligible for a food stamp allowance, but if you see a half way decently dressed woman with nice rings on her fingers at the doctor’s office pulling out a medicaid card so the kid with her can see a doctor, it might be me or somebody like me.
Of course there are exceptions, I think we are discussing the general lean of this mess.
I have also worked around ‘free clinics’ and the patients have the same profile: probably most are in need, but the parking lot does have a few ‘nice rides’ and those are the ones they are sucking the system dry on purpose.
Nobody can say that legitimate need should be supported, is the abuse we are sick of!!!
