I was at the grocery store several years ago, when I was having a rough time,  and because I had four Siberian Huskies, I would buy their dog food first, and sometimes shared it with them as there was more month than my money .. I learned to dislike dog food, and my grocery cart was behind a rotund woman in the checkout line  who had three carts piled high with much better quality and variety of foods than I could afford, back when I was making a comparatively LOT of money ... and I wondered as I watched her check out ... how can she AFFORD such nice foods, and so many of them, when my cart had cheap oatmeal which I ate as a cold cereal, and Ol' Roy, dry dog food.

OF COURSE, she paid for it with what appeared to be a credit card with an American flag on it, which I had never seen before, but which I later learned was the successor to actual food stamps... an EBT card.

I am all for charity, but I do resent having some bleeding Liberal ( can I say the "L" word in polite company?) rob money from me by force of law to feed Mrs. Graf Zepplin.
