This is what grinds my gears.

Recently Michelle Obama went to serve food to the homeless at a government funded soup kitchen.

Cost of a bowl of soup at homeless shelter: $0.00
Having Michelle Obama Serve you your soup: $0.00
Homeless person receiving a government funded meal while taking a picture of the first lady using his $500 Black Berry cell phone: Priceless

There are some things money can't buy, for everything else there are your tax dollars.

some time ago, i was at a grocery store in the Dallas area where i waited in line behind a welfare recipient who had two grocery carts.

one cart contained about $150 worth of groceries which he proceeded to pay for with his food stamps.

the second grocery cart contained about $100 worth of various bottles of liquor which he paid for in cash.

the system DOES NOT WORK.

the best public welfare system is called a JOB!
