Perhaps you could stop by my house. We used to be on food stamps because we didn't have enough money to buy formula for our daughter (breast feeding wasn't an option). Now we're not anymore, and I'm about 7 months away from having a BME with an honors-eligible GPA.
We didn't want to be on public assistance, but we ended up on it because we needed to be. We had the option of being on public assistance, so I didn't have to quit school to get a full time job. Theoretically, my future contributions to society will more than make up for the half a year where the government stole your hard-earned money and fed my baby with it. This is the social safety net working as it should.
