After Irene came through and caused some long-term power disruptions FEMA started advertising on the radio that ‘Food Assistance’ was available to anyone that had lost their home or had been displaced.

I thought that was cool but the radio ad continued: If you have lost food that was in your freezer FEMA would give you food assistance in the amount that you claimed was lost.

Now the federal government is the freezer guarantee program? I have a chest freezer and have always figured that if the power went out or my freezer died then I would be out the cost of the food. A risk I am willing to take but I don’t understand why the rest of the taxpayers should be forced to take it with me.

"Many if not most of the cards are being sold for cash or drugs"

THIS is "news"?

Food stamps are like cash, which are sold at discounted rates to willing accomplice store owners, or on the street, or in some cases, traded for drugs.

"Obama gonna take care o' me" mentality has been around the inner-city for decades (Democrats gonna take care o' us).

Who in their right mind doesn't understand that?
