Tom,

When I got discharged from the military, I had a problem with getting my unemployment benefits while I looked for work. I filed for them in one state, then moved to another. While waiting on the bureaucracy to catch up with me, my wife and I almost became destitute. We had money coming, just didn't have any idea when we could expect it. I broke down and went to apply for Food Stamps. They asked if we had any children and, I told them no. They came back at me scowling and told me my monthly benefit would be $2.00 each and every month.

I was dumbfounded, blown away really. I told them to just keep it and, give it to somebody who was needier. The Food Stamp program is one of the most abused government programs in this country today. It doesn't make sense to spend the kind of taxpayer money the government does and, just throw away good food?

I guaran-dag-gone-tee that if the government would have given me a can of Beanie Weenies and a hunk of cheese that day, instead of the promise of $2.00 at the start of the next month, I would have been extremely grateful and, my wife and I would have never went to bed hungry that night!

God bless America huh?
