I'm not sure alphadog's summary of history is really correct? Next chance I get, I'm going to do some reading on the effectiveness of "food stamps" as a program. As it stands, I'm not terribly impressed, but we'll see.

In my experience, I have seen a lot of people who continue to work, through circumstances I'm pretty sure I could not endure. On the other hand, I see a lot of people receive help who don't work, and would be a lot better off working. Some people like Devobill see a danger in people becoming too dependent on the gov't, and I can see where he's coming from. Food stamps are not the only means to accomplish the end (people not starving).

BL, I'm surprised you would use that kind of a tactic. I don't find it real cute. kj.

Be nice. Devobill's a "he", not an "it."
