“This woman is way out of line. I don’t know what this man’s story is, and neither does she. She should mind her own business.”
I agree. Maybe he was/is a fraudster, maybe not. Just having foodstamps is, by itself, no crime - and there is no possible way that this lady could know, either way. I wish that no one needed it, but in many ways the government created the demand itself with its outrageous tax and regulatory policies that chase companies overseas. Some people can cope with that type of change more easily than others. So long as it doesn’t become a way of life, or there’s clear fraud, I have no trouble with a short term helping hand (emphasis on SHORT).
I completely agree. Short term. I think a good majority of working people are one layoff from being on food stamps or other forms of government assistance. If I got laid off, I might be one of them if I don’t get a job before my savings evaporates.
I have no trouble with a short term helping hand (emphasis on SHORT).It was supposed to be a safety net, not a hammock.
It was also supposed to be a temporary assistance, not a multi-generational lifestyle.
