Once again we have 2 generations of people on food stamps. They sure teach their children well at DU. 
So now if your employer makes profits you are a slave. 
Another winner.
Once again the smartest people ever need the government to supply their every need.
Just waiting to hear the howls of outrage when the state starts demanding piss tests on those on local or government assistance. How about the old bugaboo tobacco, or booze.
Assistance means food, clothing and shelter, if one can afford a pack of cigarettes a day, over a year they have spent almost $2,000 on just that, that we pay for. Add in the booze and drugs, no wonder people are going hungry as we finance their addiction's.
Check out the inner city's schools and keep note of the brand new $200. sneakers the kids are wearing. Darn my kids grew up wearing BOBOs, kids feet grow so fast in the summer I was buying them sneakers every 2 months.
I could not raise 4 kids in to days world, just barely made it in their youth. We did it somehow back then, most likely because we did not smoke, drink or do drugs.
It can be done to day, if stronger guidelines were placed on assistance. Screw this " It's for the children Shit, these kids are the responsibility of the parents and if the parents think more of themselves, Don't come bitching at me that I should care more for their kids then I do myself and my family.
Charity begins at home, Why should people in their 80's go without life saving medicine so the neighbor can sit on their porch drink a cold one, smoke a joint and complain the kids have nothing to eat but corn flakes with water.
