And so are some people that I know and love.. One is a fireman who is now disabled and surviving on chump change. Don't be so defensive. :-) It wasn't directed at you or at anyone who legitimately needs EBT, and/or government help. They deserve it!

After a divorce, I raised 3 children with the help of a very loving Christian charities' food pantry for over a year.. Without them, my children would not have had anything to eat besides Mac & Cheese or peanut butter. They even bought them Christmas presents. We had no car, very little. Just us, bills and making a ten or twenty dollars over what the Government says is poverty.. Meaning, we didn't get any help.

My statement was directed towards our ever expanding illegal base. The ones draining our SS while not paying in,... ever. The ones with multiple carts overflowing, several debit cards while my Mom searches for change in her purse to pay for her prescription that SHOULD be Free. After all, she (and my Father)spent a lifetime paying into a that SS fund. I do know how much she makes, $400.00 bucks a month. That's it! They expect her to pay for everything with that. Luckily, she has us. We all chip in to buy her things.

PS I don't know if you ever go to Garage sales. I love them and find all kinds of cheap treasures there. Ask Hobie :-)
Over the past few years there has been a huge uptick of illegals going to them as well, almost all of them in Huge Shiny new trucks....

because i'm on disability. The statement below is ludicrous.
: No way am I able to afford filet mignon on FS. Get real.
: Find someone to fight besides the indigent.
