2. Usually at the grocery store, I'll see someone in line with food stamps
I'm in Oregon.

You know how all those discompassionate conservatives like to make fun of people on food stamps and claim they buy junk food? I've never noticed that. I do see that they buy a few things for their kids like candy or soda or chips, but that's not a crime. Everyone needs to satisfy a food craving now and then.

It's sad to see how apologetic these food stamp users are, they always seem to avoid looking people in the eye when they're taking out the stamps. Too many Repubs have made food stamp usage a mark of failure in our society, without even asking what caused these people to fall below the poverty level. Disgraceful.
