The really sad part of it all is that the food stamp program is only one tentacle of the "assistance" octopus that is gobbling up our tax money and re-distributing it to others.
If any of us had a full list of every social program that is spending tax money on people and their "needs", . . . it'd take a back pack to carry it.
There are phone programs, lawn mowing programs, taxi service programs, house fix it programs, computers (given away) programs, housing programs, lunch programs, ad infinitim, ad nauseum.
Each one has a director, asst director, board of elders / directors / overseers, and some gov't employee administering the $$$$ to whomever they deem meets the criteria for $$$$.
By the time you add up all the employees, the buildings, the cars / trucks / busses etc they use, . . . the cost of the "assistance" is doubled, tripled, or more.
I'm all for going back to one of my favorite Reagan quotes: "The best social program of all is simply a job".
May God bless,
