I may qualify for F-stamps someday but I swear my family and I will eat tree-bark soup instead. There is nothing that would get me to accept that stinking program’s help.

I admire your self-respect. But to understand the Food Stamp Program, ask yourself this question - if some idiot decided he was going to fly over your town in a helicopter and dump $100 bills, would you go out and try to pick some up?

The pissiness on this thread is shocking! We’re not talking about the people who are forever on food stamps, but many people who have never been on them before. We’re in a serious recession (some might call it a depression). The TOTUS has declared a war on business, thus jobs. I’m pretty sure that many of the new recipients are people shocked to find themselves in need of such help.
