There problems make for a good country, cry in your beer, song. Americans didn't starve before food stamps, and they won't starve if lazy mothers would cook decent meals, and spend economically. The Halloween candy was a joke. Just send the kiddies out to fill up their bags! Geesh!

See, the 'poor unfortunates' who couldn't afford Halloween candy made a choice.  Go out an sell some of their stamps for money or spend the money on themselves for booze, dope, cigarettes, gambling, etc.;  they chose themselves.  They still have a chance, like you, if they go out and sell some stamps.  :pondering:

A family that receives $686 per month will see a reduction of 'only' $36 each month.

That's a pittance.

That's the bottom line. My parents survived the Great Depression. No food stamps, no assistance of any sort. Just tightened belts and ingenuity.

A Christmas stocking gift was an orange; the treats they enjoyed at the end of a long day was popcorn or saltines dunked in milk.

Remembering the things my mother told me is what will get me through the coming economic depression. The best thing that could happen to this country is discontinuing the food stamp program.

My grandmother was very insistent that my wife learn to can everything that was grown in this part of the country.  Now it's left up to daughter who burned a hole in her foot the last time she made cinnamon candy.

Suzy Homemaker she's not, but she's still learning.
