Rob: You nailed it. It is a sign of the success of our economy that fewer people need food stamps. BTW, you are right; the Amish don’t need them at all. In the mistaken govt consciousness, they are classified as a “needy minority” when they aren’t needy at all. Typical govt attitude. The govt needs to sell their programs, and the last thing they want is for people to need less from them. As conservatives, on the other hand, that is our goal: to make it so fewer people need govt help.

Food stamp enrollment climbed from 17.2 million in 2000 to 25.7 million in 2005.

Woof: No doubt due to advertising, paid for by our taxes. Feel good about that? They are also advertising them in Spanish, so the illegals know how to get them. I know that is exactly how I want them to spend my confiscated earnings(not).

You neglected to mention how many illegals entered the country between 2000 and 2005. Might be enlightening.

The Amish don’t need food stamps, but the lazy social workers need their cushy jobs!

Mad shoutouts to my peeps in Geauga (yeah, I grew up there and still can’t spell it).

were waiting for day-old bread and frozen dinners packaged in slightly damaged boxes. These families are among a growing number of military households in San Diego County that regularly rely on donated food.
We should be gaging social policy on the number of people who don’t need government assistance.

Actually Woofie, joining the military is a good job right out of college. I don’t see many jobs at that age where you’re able to afford raising a family.
So if you’re 18 join up, live on base, get free medical and dental it’s a good start.

Woof: As usual, you don’t get it.
We should be gaging social policy on the number of people in the private sector who don’t need government assistance.
Soldiers are in the public sector.

It would definitely be a good idea to redirect some social engineering money, say, “The War on Poverty”, to military families, where it might do some good.
