So all the various state and federal unionised government social works agencies can justify their salaries and budgets, due to the ever increasing number of their needy “clients”.
A better question would be - Who is John Gault?
BINGO! but the effect of adding all those marginal-need people results in the scenario above of an elderly couple, truely in need, who only get $180 a month in foodstamps, instead of the $300 a month one would expect it would take, minimum, to feed an elderly couple. The only 'winners' are the perk-heavy unionized workers while the needy elderly are left choosing between prescriptions and food each month. It's a sad state of affairs.
