This is awful. I do not care who is responsible for this.

Why do things to help yourself when you can count on the government to step in and bail you out?
I am all in favor of big government interventionism!
Until the nutri-paste idea takes off (or soylent green) I guess subsidizing the food distribution network is the next best idea.

Yes, everyone who lost a job in the last year and is now receiving assistance isn't lifting a finger to help themselves. They just took that $10 an hour call center job so they could pay for their habit of hookers and blow and are more than happy to let the government pay for their food and housing. ::)

Can't buy much blow on a $10 an hour job, or get a very good hooker...so FOTD tells me.
"I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow
And that it motivates you to make a better tomorrow
This place is cruel no where could be much colder
If we don't change the world will soon be over"
