While Mr. Dawson, the electrician, has kept his job, the drive to distant work sites has doubled his gas bill, food prices rose sharply last year and his health insurance premiums have soared. His monthly expenses have risen by about $400, and the elimination of overtime has cost him $200 a month. Food stamps help fill the gap.
Like many new beneficiaries here, Mr. Dawson argues that people often abuse the program and is quick to say he is different. While some people “choose not to get married, just so they can apply for benefits,” he is a married, churchgoing man who works and owns his home. While “some people put piles of steaks in their carts,” he will not use the government’s money for luxuries like coffee or soda. “To me, that’s just morally wrong,” he said.
He has noticed crowds of midnight shoppers once a month when benefits get renewed. While policy analysts, spotting similar crowds nationwide, have called them a sign of increased hunger, he sees idleness. “Generally, if you’re up at that hour and not working, what are you into?” he said.
When you see "churchgoing", that's really all you need to know.
Funny how these conservative assholes think they're the exception to everyone else's rule. They despise the "Liberals", and they hate "government programs", but they'll sure as fuck use them when they find themselves stuck in a tough spot. Of course, in their minds, everyone else is just being lazy.
I think when you sign up for some government program that is designed to prevent your family from starving, or dying due to illness, there should be a check box on the application form. Are you a conservative?
And ya.. if it's checked, deny the app.

Speaking of Doug, you've really got to read one of the most amazing misogynistic rants I've ever seen.
With the advent of DNA testing, however, more evidence of the moral decline of our nation is being unveiled, and it is official: Many women in the United States have no shame, having hidden their adultery, and the true identity of the fathers of their children.
Yes, women are just unfaithful whores, using their husbands as dupes to fund the raising of other men's children.. or something.
It's amazing what a cowardly piece of shit Doug Gibbs is. He's hardly even a man.. just some pussy that can type a mean game.
