I live in Ohio. I work at a grocery store. We are lucky, my husband has a good job.

Young people like 18-early 20's are using food stamps.

WTF? Really?

Jobs are hard to find, and not at the pay you wanted but you can deal with it. Stop buying energy drinks, Sarbucks canned drinks and pop.

I know times are different. But how much financial responsibility do you have when your 18? There have been times in my life when I have had 3 jobs to make ends meet. Pay your bills, then make sure you have gas money and what is left is money for food.

I really, really do not like paying for someones food (via tax dollars) who has not paid into the system.

In the same regard, if you have fallen on hard times, that's what it is there for.

I have seen parents come through the line and squeak out as much value as they could get when using food stamps. These are people whom either are just barly are working or are out of a job.

I don't mind giving people a hand with my tax dollars, but I really can't stand giving hand outs.

I really wish Ohio would leave the elderly alone. They have worked all of their lives and paid into a system all that was supposed to take care of them. I have no illusions that it will be there for me.
