Just get behind most anybody using food stamps or WIC coupons at Walmart and you can see it first hand. Of course, the line may be a bit slow because they're too busy on their Iphone or Android, or what ever the latest phone is, to be paying attention, while the kids are fighting over which console game they're going to get. And I can only wish I had the kind of money they spend on clothes.

There are some who truly need the help, but you won't see their cart piled up with junk food, beer and wine, and prepared food, going through the cigarette line.
I was back stateside last Summer, buying a few groceries at Safeway..the lady in front of me used a food stamp card to buy her groceries..she ended up being parked next to me...a late model, shiny red F250...wondered how she'd bought the gas to get to the store...or could make the payments on the truck....probably a .357 tucked under the seat as well.

Perhaps I should hold my breath.

It might be a bit though, it has taken him a couple of days in the past. I can't wait for his incredibly well reasoned and logical response. Then again, I expect that he had a look at some of the stuff I posted earlier that shot a gaping hole in his "Bush crashed the economy" mantra, leaving him no response other than claiming my ignorance. Since he has already informed me of my obvious ignorance on the subject without offering reasonable justification for his claim, or any evidence contrary to my posts, he may not feel compelled to inform me of my ignorance a second (or is it third?) time.

I'm far from the smartest guy here, but Rick's religious Blame Bush fervor is just too easy to poke holes in.
