<p>Re: Food Stamps…My father worked for the government as head of the WIC and Food Stamps. (Food and Nutrition Service) The program was funded as a way for poor family to feed themselves and their children. Food Stamps were not a conduit for liquor, cigarettes and non food items at a taxpayer’s expense. </p>
<p>Just an observation: I find it fascinating that so many CCers take it as a given that we are liberal, which is “good”. No mention that there might be a conservative onboard or a centrist because they would exploit (others’ words not mine) their children. Within this culture who would you chastise? Parents who give their kids sports, acting lessons, dance lessons, photography classes with the hope that their children find an interest/possible scholarships/whatever?</p>
