WHAT? No idea what you mean unless you mean a free government handout in which case, yeah free is very inexpensive!

When you pay for groceries with cash, it is taxed and can be costly.  Food stamps are exempt from taxes.  There is another way to get your groceries cheaper.  Use coupons.

I don't think it makes much difference if your getting free food. How you pay for it makes the difference only if you have to work for it. But food stamps actually ensure that you buy only food and not some other unnecessary junk with your food stamps. It makes sense in a way that food is a necessity and anything else we can go without and survive. Therefore, you will buy only food with your food stamps, and for other things well you just gone have to work for it. I support this idea.

I do not mind that lower income people are given food stamps. Because that money must eventually be spent on food. At least that money is put back into the economy and not wasted on tobacco which is about 75% tax.

Food Stamps or Cash...Are you asking would we rather have food stamps or cash?  When you buy food with cash it is taxed and even if you use coupons don't you know that even have a nerve to have tax on the coupon!!!!  The quality of food in going DOWN.  They are downsizing everything but the price is going UP.  Have anyone else noticed this or is it just me?

The quality of the food is going down because of all the crap they pump our animals with (like antibiotics).  If you want better quality (WAY better quality) go organic.  You'll pay SLIGHTLY more but, the product is beyond compare!

I would love to have food stamps, but since I work and make too much money, I don't qualify.

Keep busting your tail and work those longer hours as there are millions on welfare depending on you.   I understand food stamps to a certain degree, but unless you have a mental illness or a physical handicap you should not be entitled for life.  Welfare and food stamps without drug testing and time limits encourages poor decisions, apathy, and laziness.

most people who ended up on food stamp are not lazy.  Economy, last of spouse, and job put them in that category

I know there are good people out there that actually need food stamps for awhile. I also know there are people that sell the food stamps for cash. there is always a way around everything.

On the topic of not paying tax on the food if you use food stamps that is because the foods you are allowed to perchase are food products not premade meals.  That is the difference in the tax.  So it doesnt matter if you pay with food stamps or cash.

I think food stamps are for people that are handicap that can not work or for families with extremely low income.  I think the people that scam the system should be reported.

We use coupons all the time most of them we print out and we save what ever the coupon is plus we get a $0.10 credit for each one we use.
