OMW, WTH? and REALLY??????????????????????
First, let me say that I believe in the food stamp program! I've used the program myself when it was necessary.
HOWEVER, it really steams me when I see it abused! When I'm at 7-11 INDULGING (spending money on a well deserved treat) It really kills me when the person in front of me is buying $20 worth of junk food and paying for it with food stamps! Makes it worse when it's after 11pm and it's parents buying their toddlers slushies and chips.
So apparently the system isn't being abused enough, our tax dollars will now allow ppl to spend 5X the amount of money on a meal as it would cost to cook at home, and the meal will be 10x more unhealthy. UHG
Now, for the REAL irony in all of this. These giant food chains (both convenience stores and restaurants) spend millions lobbying for the privilege to accept food stamps. They also spend millions avoiding paying taxes INTO the system that they are trying to tap into to generate more revenue.
Is it just me or are we going to H.E.doublehockeysticks in a hand basket FAST?
