Here's my take. She's going to get the hand out, whether you like it or not..
Would you be more, or less pissed off if she were buying complete shit, rather than fresh fruits/veggies and healthier cuts of meat?
The point is, that WIC covers her buying the veggies and fruit. That is some expensive eating these days. The steaks were T bones and filets. She could plan her meals better. Oh and they pay cash for their beer
And by the way, I would be happier if she got a job.
I guess, having seen the crap people can do with welfare, while I understand your frustration of having to pay for someone else, while you can barely afford to pay for yourself, I don't really see the reason for what sounds like severe anger..
A) You have no idea why she's on welfare to begin with, but the fact that she's buying actual, healthy food would cause me to consider the possibility this is actually a temporary thing, and she's not buying any differently than she would in any other scenario..
B) I've seen people sell food stamps to get cash for drugs.
C) I see people spending their entire welfare check playing bingo/slots at the local casino, while talking about who's "minding their kids", while telling their friend "Gimme a fitty ($50), and I'll git choo some food when we gits to da stoe'".
Sorry, but I'd rather see someone do what she's going, and buying actual food than see any more of the crap I've seen in the past. If I'm forced to foot the bill, at least it's something I'd spend money on...
