Walmart has cheepo brand seeds for a dime! Think about i, with a little labor and a buck, you can have your very own farmers market, and can the stuff to last all year. But noooooooooooo, she needs $500 for groceries, plus free rent and $500 for toilet paper and crack.
Drug testing should be mandatory for all wlefare types, with a one-srike & you are out policy, for life.
There was an interesting story in the Lansing (MI) State Journal a few weeks ago about this -- a group of poor neighbors banded together and started small gardens. They grew enough tomatoes, beans, peas and other veggies not only to feed themselves, but to give to the homeless that were STEALING from their gardens!
In a clever twist, they made a deal with the kids snurching the tomatoes using them as paint balls -- if they spent a few hours in the garden each week, they got a big bag of them. Pretty soon they had all the gardening help they needed -- and a security team to boot!
