The federal govt has been driving a food truck out to the “poor” area of town where I live feeding the children. It’s teaching these kids to be dependent on government, like their pathetic parent(s). I’m sorry but these kids should know what it’s like to be hungry. I’m not saying they should starve to death but it would do them some good to know what it’s like to go without. My local rag ran a story on it last week and they tried to make it sound the greatest thing ever. I have never seen such enthusiasm for poverty. The friggin bread lines are forming and no one wants to acknowledge it.
Don’t even get me started on the abuse of WIC cards ....
I know, it’s always couched as “for the children” but there is plenty of private charity that will take care of the truly needy.
If we forced people to take responsibility for the numerous children they choose to have without any intention of providing for the children themselves I think the problem would solve itself.
I see people buying a cart or two of EBT groceries, a cart of beer and ciggies with cash and then separating out the milk and cheese and whipping out one of those freaking WIC checks every time I go to Wal Mart. Which always takes another 5 minutes to fill out. It’s sickening.
