Back when I was in college, I can't think of a SINGLE PERSON in my age group who would have had the lack of pride to go an get on food stamps of public assistance, now it seems to be pretty common. People claiming they live on their own, and below the poverty line, so they can get food stamp of alike assistance while in college.
That is not what these programs are for..... kids who have parents and at college. These programs and their funding are for those who lose their jobs, and have a family to support while they get back on their feet as a short term, stop gap, solution.
