If they cancel welfare, that will be the next war. I can't wait to see how this is going to turn out. So sad.
As far as welfare/assistance, and this is my PET PEEVE with giving this assistance to people (and not to offend anyone). I think this could cut down a few millions of dollars if these items did not qualify as part of this assistance program.
I don't understand how can the following foods, etc. be considered a necessity to get and that you HAVE TO have and can be purchased with this little benefits cards.
1. Cakes (Even the cakes that are made in the bakery qualify)
2. Cookies
3. Sodas
4. Crackers
5. Ice Cream
6. Candy
I have to go to another lane when I see people in the store "stocking up" on Little Debbie's and Corn Chips and Cokes. Am I missing something?????
I think the only things these cards should be allowed to buy are......
1. Meat
2. Rice
3. Vegetables/Potatoes
4. Milk
5. Fruit.
And that's about it.
That sounds basic to me. And if people have any "extra" money to get their hair, toes and nails "DONE", then they don't need to get assistance. MY and YOUR tax dollars are making it possible for these people to have "EXTRA" money. Oh, HECK NO! I don't even have "EXTRA" money to do those things, so why should THEY!!!
When is all of the a necessity in order to live?
Ok, I better stop now. I have to go and call my psychiatrist. Little people are starting to talk to me. I'm starting to hear voices.
