Got a 2nd personal look at our current welfare state the other day. Happened to get in line behind a couple of beneficiaries of our government largess at the grocery store. Man: 400 lbs. Woman: 300 lbs or more. 2 way overweight kids. Groceries separated into 5 different piles. Woman fills out some kind of voucher for each of 4 of the piles. All of which has me standing in line for at least 15 minutes. A couple of weeks ago the same thing had happened to me at a different store, and the people were just like this couple: extremely obese.
As I've said before "America is the only country in the world where the poor are fat". I don't wish to see anyone starve, but this is ridiculous. Those two families are eating enough to feed a dozen adults. And we are paying for it. And I'd bet we're paying their rent and medical care also. Oh, yeah, that's right, they're disabled. Disabled because they're too fat to do any work. Somehow they manage to procreate though.
We CAN fix this, stay politically involved.
