All I drink is pop.
The people who abuse the system are people who sell their food stamps for drugs and cash advances.

Really?
All I drink is pop. Water is gross and flavorless and juice is more expensive than pop. Pop is caffeinated so it can take the place.of coffee in the morning. It also tastes good.
99 cent 2-litres aren't breaking the food stamps bank.

The realist in you is starting to show. Quit being practical and thinking about things properly.

Many SNAP recipients are senior citizens.
I offer a car service for a retirement village near me where I take people to the grocery store or to the bank or doctors or social services. Unfortunately those benefits have been going down for a lot of those people.
I hear it all the time. and social security is not going up or keeping pace with cost of living.
These people are not beggers or ner' do wells. They worked hard their whole lives and now they cant feed themselves without help because housing costs and other living costs are so high.
Its not right.
Please... Soda? Thats like the cheapest thing in the grocery store.
