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.  Roll Eyes

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"
