Pray tell what exactly should we allow poor people to purchase on their food stamps without being demonized? Why don't we go back to the bread line so we can control people down to the last thing they put between their lips. Sounds even less American than y'all are trying to make foodstamps out to be! so if you buy healthy organic food at an organic store you're bad, but if you buy cheap processed foods you're bad!

They don't give you the homes according to this link. They give you loans, which you have to pay back! And if you don't they repossess the home. Last time I checked the definition of a loan it is not hte same definition as a gift! How offensive. They don't give you the homes according to this link.

For a statement like that I wonder how you are budgeting your money...I think everyone should learn how to budget...its a valuable skill. But its a little insulting to hear such a patronizing statement when you yourself acknowledge you can't budget. If you could...you would know that its possible to shop at whole foods on a yearly intake like that (post-taxes, not pre).

Thats what I have...because I am....wait for it...disabled!! I don't know how this lady got indigent status for a lawyer and *if* this is really true I hope they reign it in, because I'm so sick of all of us being lumped in the same category. No cleaning lady when you can hardly walk = eviction. Eviction especially when you can hardly walk = "REAL BAD" , so I am not ashamed of taking services meant to avoid serious suffering. I hardly doubt she could get these specialized services without qualifying so the insinuation is insulting. It took me 9 months on the waiting list alone, and a lot more time before that constantly in crisis. So thank god the state will pay the cleaning lady. It's a heck of a lot cheaper AND more humane than the state sponsored nursing home. Sure she could….if she was disabled! Thats what I have…because I am….wait for it…disabled!!
