Hanna we are in deep trouble. We can fix this by removing foodstamps and replacing with food banks. No intermediate bureaucracies and thefts. People should not get the discretion of what food to buy or use food stamps as currency. This will kill much of the black market on food stamps. Also this will remove them from the retail stores. They are not equals. Takers are not equal to givers. People quickly identify with this and a degree of honor, integrity and respect is restored. It was a motivater of honor before and it would restore this. This is the same for health. People on the government assistance use this faster than one changes oil in their cars. They are bankrupting the system. Again takers instead of makers. They should be made to pay for everything except certain types of problems. They need to understand the cost. @krisahnna
