This might be the only area I MIGHT NOT have an issue with.
If a person gets more than enough from food stamps for them and their family to live, then buys food to HELP someone else, that is great.
I know a couple who were getting $400 a month in stamps. I spend about $200 a month for 2 people, and I feel I eat pretty good. And yet THEY complained about things.
Imagine what they could do if they chose to leave disciplined and modest lives. The people THEY could bless others, with the governments largess. Especially now, with so many out of work. $200 a month could buy a lot of food for food pantries. It could provide 5 meals for Christmas, for families who couldn't afford one.
My point is not to be wasteful of money. The point is that the government hands out the money anyway. Since these people are going to get it, put it to its best use.
I've got a friend who at one time had it VERY hard. She got some food from people in her church. It was near Christmas, and she got a ham. She already had a ham for Christmas, and decided someone else she knew could use it.
I get your point, but we are all disgusted that they don’t work, so we pretty much are against her getting foodstamps in any event.
They are “disabled” (read: fat)
