I ended up unemployed and had a wife and five kids back in the early 90’s. We got food stamps for about two months and I swore I would NEVER do it again. And to this day I never have. It was embarrassing going into a store and using them. Of course back then we had the books of coupons and not the cards like today.
From what I’ve read the Constitution says “promote the general welfare” not provide it.
That is correct and that is a huge difference, but the left is to ignorant to get it
Everyone around here felt the same about State commodities. No one wanted to be associated with anyone on commodities. However, if one offered you some gov’t cheese you took it as it was the best available.
Then people noticed that those on commodities had extra money to spend on beer and cigarettes. Now food stamps are everywhere.
