I'll get flamed, but I think the WIC program is one of the most sensible programs to help needy families.

I think so too. If we say we're going to support families, WIC is a good program that supports pregnant women and little kids. You can be working and still qualify (for those FReepers who think only working people deserve food). It sets out exactly what they can buy and I can think there's not much fraud. There's probably plenty of back dealing between the gubmit and the food companies involved, tho, but you can't have everything.

It is a good program, and we sure could have used it back in the day. Milk, juice, peanut butter, eggs, cheese, cereal. Heck, you can practically live off the darn things. Sometimes people need help to make ends meet.
