Quote from nizzy1115 :
I've told this story but ill tell it again. When wife and I got married we went to what google said was the right state building to get her name changed. Well it was the wrong address and we were unknowingly at the wellfare application place. Saw nothing but moms with nice cars with teenagers inside all playing on their iphones and droids while the moms are arguing who has less in their bank accounts (like it was a competition). Yes these people were all collecting benefits, I couldn't believe it. Get rid of the nice cars and smart phones, you dont need them to survive...
What would you do that wouldn't hurt mostly the kids? I mean something practical and legal.

But keep in mind that all those welfare costs pale in comparison to what the 1% received from the government bailout.

You're not. At least not in this state.

Food stamp average is roughly $100 a month. People seem to forget it's a "supplement" and is not meant to cover one's entire monthly consumption.

There was talk of not allowing sodas with ebt here in NYC couple of years ago, not sure if they were allowed to.
