You know what really ticks me off? I used an online “See if you qualify for” application program for EBT, and found out we are qualified for EBT cards. I have far too much dignity than to apply for those. We aren’t swimming in money, but do not need any assistance.
I used to work in the same office as the welfare people. One day, their secretary got so mad that she quit. After many years of working there, she compared her working paycheck with the clients’ monthly freebies. Hers came out on the losing end. She cleaned out her desk and walked out the door.
