Hmmm...Maybe we should allow them to purchase high-grade heroin with their EBT as well.

I can’t for the life of me figure out WHY I am constantly bombarded with “Sign up for food stamps” commercials on the radio. Two little old ladies discovering they both use food stamps and how great they are to stretch budgets. People are being asked to guess which of 10 people in their life is going hungry. It’s like the government is BEGGING people to get on the dole.

Can anyone explain this to me? You’d think the government would want to make it at least a little challenging to become a dependent.
