I wrote about this last week but the continued coverage of those who receive food stamps is starting to piss me off.  Forgive me as I am a bit hormonal, but come on!  Food stamps were never meant to be the whole food budget, it is supposed to be a supplement!  If I read one more story about how they are feeling the pinch from only receiving $300+  for a family of 3 when there are a plethora of FREE or low cost food programs in their city I am going to SCREAM!

Those of us who work for and spend that money are paying taxes on it and they are not.  I am also assuming that if you are able bodied enough to go to the supermarket then you can get a part time job to make up for the difference!

• Work at the supermarket for a discount
• Go to the food banks BEFORE food runs out so that you can plan your meals for the month
• Cook smaller meals, most of us are eating 3 times the amount of food we need to live
• Save leftovers

I am usually on the side of the folks that are on welfare because there are some who truly need it.  However, the ones that try to work the government to the end that ALL their expenses are paid for and then cry foul when prices go up instead of  trying to get a job to make up the difference, frankly, well pisses me off.

My advice?

SPARE ME AND GET A JOB!
