I'm all for helping people who are down and out, and need assistance. What gets my goat is there is never any checks or balances with food stamp recipients, so once they no longer need assistance, they continue receiving the government handouts.
In my area, as you walk into any grocery store, there are folks lined up outside offering to sell their food stamps (WIC cards, etc.) for $.50 on the dollar. Why? Because they can't buy their Hennessy alcohol using government assistance.
I get real tired of a new Mercedes Benz pulling up, they park in the handicap parking space with no Handicap Card affixed to their rear view mirror, then go to the meat counter and get $29 fillet mignons, while I stand behind them looking for discounted old hamburger meat, so I can save $.25 cents a pound.
That is just not right!
