Lottery winner says that she still deserves food-card assistance

[tracy]

I believe that Welfare should be a hand up....to only be used until the recipient is able to support themselves. Not as a way of life for each passing generation. However,as donations to church-sponsored charity groups grow less,it is harder for them to help people. So many folks are using the multi-church Ministery Alliance in our town that they must turn away too many as it is. What we need to do is....GET AMERICA BACK TO WORK!

1.Stop outsourcing jobs

2.If you call yourself an American company,then hire here and manufacture it here

3.Make the penalties for hiring illegal workers too expensive and add jail time

Welfare could be greatly lessened if Americans were working like they used to.

*steps off soapbox*

I think many many folks would much rather work.  And I agree with Tracy... I would pay more for my goods if I knew my country was being paid to make em.

Yes, We all deserve everything handed  to us by Govt, however, we want Govt. to stay out of our business. Welcome to the new schizoid man. I have to dig out my old Sex Pistols albums, play the, while I watch films of war, peace demonstrations and 3 stooges film with the sound off again.

"...play the..."?  Oh, you mean "play them".  The first one is the only worthwhile effort.   

Yes, obviously  I didn't  type the  'm'.. Wha?  You don't like the 3 stooges?

Depends upon which three you mean...

True, There should be a poll. The Curly, Shemp, Joe Derita or Joe Besser stooges?

I'm a fan of the three original Stooges mostly. Shemp I liked pretty much but Joe Derita and Joe Besser I found annoying. Especially Besser...that dude was like fingernails on a black board.

I saw this a lot at my factory job.  A lot of people there were on food stamps or housing assistance despite working 40+ hours a week, because our wages just didn't stretch enough for them -- many of them elderly, with medical bills that what little insurance the company offered didn't cover.  And then there were people like the guy who was exploiting a loophole to get 3 times what he "should" have been getting in food stamps AND still stole other people's food out of refrigerator.
