Like Food Stamps? Basically a debit card of $500 that you could use every month? No shame, no stamps, nothing? Just a magic card that would allow you to get FAR more doctor visits and meds than a middle class family can afford??

What about Housing Stamps? So you don’t have to pay your mortgage or rent? What about Auto Stamps? Another credit card that would pay your car payment every month?

Man, I wish I was poor, cause I can’t afford life the old fashioned way..

I absolutely LOATHE the fact that one of the reason they went to the new “food stamp debt card” was to eliminate the “Shame” of using food stamps in line.

If you are an adult and dependant on the government for your life, you should feel shame even if it was your fault or not you are in that situation. Getting away from shame is a good motivator for improving your life.
