No more junk food

I am calling about people on welfare. I am all for welfare when people can't afford to feed their kids but, when I'm at the store, I see people using their food stamp card to buy nothing but candy, gum, pop and chips — just a bunch of junk food. I think that should be illegal. I don't think you should be allowed to buy that stuff on your food stamp card. It should be milk, bread, eggs and meat — the necessities. Not candy, pop and whatever else they're buying. That's ridiculous.

I agree with the Community Voice caller who called in about the person in the grocery store line who paid for a whole basket full of food with a welfare card. Those of us who work for a living and have never received any benefits from the government ... feel that if (Barack) Obama's health care package goes through, we might as well give up and go on welfare. We'll eat more. Right now, we probably only eat two or three days a week, compared to the welfare people who eat like kings. Maybe it's better off that you don't work at all and live on welfare and get Section 8 housing. ...
