Hi folks:

Looks like the elite ubermen are striking out again. Seems our "reps" in DC want to cut back on food stamp benefits. Now I know that people have worked all their lives and paid taxes for these programs. Seems to me that the citizens of this country deserve to take advantage of these benefits when needed. I do, as I have worked for these past 40 years and paid my taxes as well.

Thing is, the food stamps most qualify for are way under the amount needed to buy wholesome foods and meats.Heck, they aren't enough to pay for garbage-foods.(cheap pre-processed frozen dinners ala "Banquet" brand.

I manage to make my benefits stretch and I'm glad I have this supplement so I can eat. I'm single, it's hard for me to imagine how a family gets by on so little.

It's a once a month with no income chance to buy foodfor them.

I know how to stetch a buck and I know how to eat properly, but, this crap about getting fruits and veggies and meats with so little is a losing game.

I plan to write these "scoundrels"
and support the continuation of the current benefits for all who need them. I also plan to encourage them to try to make a decent food supply with the current costs at the market, in the food groups mentioned above, on so little.

Now these dark-souled, pitiless, opportunists are going to use the suffering of the public to make political points for themselves.

How do you feel?
