I used to feel the same way you do re foodstamps and such. I mentioned this to my uncle once.Guess WHERE he worked in Washington DC with the department of Welfare and fraud. He told me that it is a HUGE myth re welfare "cheats" they ARE there but it is low like 3 percent.One other thing I think the military now has almost HALF their people getting foodstamps.I see MANY working class poor with both parent's working and yes those families are getting either mediciad or FS. I have no problem with working class poor getting help or their children for that matter. There was a story last year on our local news about 40 percent of all families that go to local foodbanks are MIDDLE class. Things are hard for many people now from all income levels. BTW,my grandmother had 13 children and they did fine. Don't get me wrong as I really do understand BOTH sides of this.

Thanks Carlene for some common sense.It can be scary when we have people inour country that think like the Chinese gov. Oh wait China at LEAST ALLOWS one child per family pitty if the child is a firstborn GIRL.
