Food Stamp Program started in 1939-1943 area, that was an era where people really didn't want to be getting a handout and only took the help when they didn't have any options. They were only allowed to get the basics, meat, vegetables, flour, sugar, coffee, nothing processed. It was a great era, a man's word was truth, if he did wrong he would say it was HIS mistake and a handshake meant a promise that would not be broken.
Now a days, hardly anyone will acknowledge they made a mistake, words spoken many are lies and a handskake means so little and guess what, the Food Stamp program gone wild.
U.S.A. is always going to have so many freeloaders and it is going to get much worse, no body wants to work, just take take take. There are certainly cures for all of our problems, but we just don't have any leaders with balls, need another President like Truman. Simple cure for Food Stamp program is to only hand out non processed foods, costs would go way down, people would actually have to learn how to cook !!! Can you imagine?
Another good solution, anyone getting any welfare, reduced/free housing, medical has to work for so many hours a week for the city, county, state collecting trash, day care, painting, shovling snow, preparing meals for the elderly & homeless. No workie No money, and be prepared to live in a cardboard box. Guess what America, you force people to work for their welfare makes people go back to school for better jobs, they will take bigger interest in who is leading America too.
Now you can certainly attack my beliefs, you got that right, but you better well have a solution before you do, otherwise you are part of the problem. People can't seem to have solutions any more, has this country gotten so dumb, people ok with just going with the flow? Yep.
