I'm glad you consider a 30-pack of Mountain Dew one of the "major items for the kids". /sarcasm
What they should do it give people on bridge cards double for buying fresh healthy food, but only give them half for buying pre-processed junk food. I realize that this is kind of allowing the government to tell people what they should eat, but in my opinion if you are using government money to buy your food, there's nothing wrong with them telling you what you can spend the money on.
Because growing your own garden is possible when you live in a crappy housing development. I find it hard to believe that you have a job, given your awful spelling and your use of upper-case type.
So local farm aren't doing very well. Go to Meijer or Walmart. They have plenty of food. 10 for 10 sales at Meijer. We buy at least 30 cans of Chef Boyardee, burritos and 30 pack Mtn Dew. Prices have actually went down. Sure there is less fresh produce than before, but we get all the major items for the kids at discount cost.
One thing I see here I disagree with. Farmers are not the rich. We, in most cases, are just trying to get by as it is. Sure, this places a burden on all of us, but at least it's somewhat shared, and it is at least helping some.
GROW UR OWN GARDEN U NON WORKIN LAZY FOOD STAMPERS.OMG
I saw that at the Farmer's Market last week. I consider myself a Liberal and all but how far does this need to go, seriously? The $20 was already free food to begin with and now we are going to give them double? The rich get richer, the poor get more and more help, and us middle class 9-5ers get to pay for it all.
what about the families that do not qualify for assistance and are just trying to make ends meet? the rich get richer and so do the poor with things like this!!! just wrong :-(
That's just wonderful for bridge card holders BUT I thought everything is touted about "fair share". How about offfering deals like this to EVERONE, especially the retirement persons? They are on fixed incomes with no pay increases. Come on now...
