I feel for the people truly in need and would do anything to help them. But I don't feel for able bodied people who can work and who live off the system.
Couldn't agree more. And I think that is villagerjack meant when he said that HALF the people shouldn't be on them.
When he states that 50 million people are receiving Food Stamps, I don't know if that means there are 50 million people including family members of those who receive them or 50 million families. Either way, it represents a very large number of people. 50 million is approximately one out of every six of us. I have a hard time believing that one sixth of the people in this country need food stamps.
