To all of you who are calling people on food assistance “leeches,” and consider us scum because we use government assistance, I would like to say that I am personally very offended.

And you just happened to sign up today to let us all know how offended you are? What a coincidence.

How can you call people leeches? You don’t know anyones stuation. Granted, yes there may be people out there who abuse the assistance offered but there are those of us, like myself, who have paid taxes all of my adult life until I became pregnant and was told by several doctors I was unable to work in fear of miscarriage. Leaving a normally two income household in a very bad place financially. So the assistance has been a God send. I just don’t feel you should judge all who receive assistance based soley on those who abuse it. Because I know there are others like me who use it as it was intended.
