A lot of times I see steak cheaper per pound than ground beef. And lastly, how the fuck do you know that that person doesn't decide to treat themselves to steak once a month after eating ramen and boxes of mac and cheese the rest of the time?

Also personal income tax only accounts for about 44% of the Federal governments revenue. So really less than one percent goes towards welfare and unemployment. |

Not so sure that would work today. In our community, when someone dies, you take food. When someone is sick, you take food. When someone loses a job, you take food. Might even put a few dollars in the bag with the food. There is no line to the door of the lazy, and those unwilling to work. For those truly in need, it's a blessing to be able to help. It's sad that those who truly need help are often the ones unable to get it. Sadder still that the system has made us unwilling to help. |

I have been a payroll accountant for years. You need to drop unemployment out of your title. Before that person you are bitching about became unemployed he and his employer paid money into the fund. He and his employer made equal contributions and he is paying for his own fund. You aren't paying for it. Unemployment is nothing like welfare. You need to do some research before you post such a thread. |
rosesunicorn User ID: 722676 United States 07/11/2009 11:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't know about other states but in Oregon there are ways around the system of getting things you technically can't purchase on food stamps. The birthday cake thing is a prime example. Here you can't special order a cake but you can take a ready made cake from the bakery's choices in the grocery store and free of charge they will write something on it. You can't purchase a fountain drink with a straw in it with food stamps but take that same drink and DON'T put the straw in and you can get the drink. You may not be able to buy the deli fried chicken but if you get into the store as they are pulling their chicken and packaging it for the cold section you can still get "hot" chicken on food stamps. One thing that astonished me recently was when we went shopping hubby found an M&M character fan with candy in it. That was the ONLY thing I expected to pay with cash and food stamps covered it. The bag of candy inside was a fun size pack, hardly worth the $2.99 in stamps it was worth. I was actually bitching about it as I was bagging it up. I make the food stamps we receive go the distance I can make them. I enjoy the convenience of "ready made" mixes but I refuse to pay for a box and a name. I have found recipes and reworked them to work for my family for things like rice a roni, hamburger and chicken helper seasoning mixes, biscuit and pancake mix and a basic cake mix that by adding different ingredients (like chocolate for a chocolate cake) I can make ANY sort of cake I choose. I find it very disappointing that I can't go to a local farmer's stand and purchase fresh produce from him on food stamps while I can go and buy fresh from a grocery store that has things shipped in from South and Central America... THAT I think is the most screwed up thing of all. |
