Ok, so I haven't posted anything in a while. That's about par for me.

However, I have a lil thing I'd like to rant 'n rave about, so here I am.


Now, I don't know about your state, but in WI, instead of food stamps, they give you an EBT card for your allotment. I have no problem with this, as I'm not opposed to helping people out during a tough stretch.

What DOES piss me off, is seeing my tax dollars going to this program, and having the people who use it, use it to buy freaking junk food.

I'm standing in line at the grocery store the other day with my chunk 'o ground beef to make tacos(yummy, BTW).

This kid in front of me, dressed up in some idiotic rap star style jacket and a sideways cocked hat goes to pay for his stuff with one of these things, and it doesn't take for some reason. Whatever, I'm in no hurry. So he scampers off to call someone to find out why it isn't working, so the clerk pushes his stuff to one side so we can get rung out. so, me being curious, I scoped out his order.

Case of pop, ice cream, and a bunch of candy bars. That's it.

No milk, eggs, meat or cheese. Just junk food.

I have no idea about what you may think, but personally, I am SICK of this. This asshole can afford a fancy jacket and hat, but relies on the working people of WI to feed his junk food habit?

I say HELL NO!

To this end, I plan on writing my state reps and raising holy hell on the issue. Your tax money should be going to insure these people who need help are properly fed, and not eating junk.

I urge you to do the same.
