Can You Imagine if millions of people stopped taking food-stamps, unemployment benefits and medicaid?

These people payed National Insurance and tax when they worked and not all their money goes on food. What about Bus Fares , Gas , Electric, Water rates? , people who receive unemployment have to pay for prescriptions too.

Kayla Heintz , if people want to obtain drugs they will find a way , the end result would be to drive people into petty crime or worse. ADDED. I have not only a job but my family have our own company, and are employers.

Every member of my family has a University degree and I assure you none of us will ever be unemployed. If you are referring to people from Poland it would be more correct to call them Polish or at least capitalise "Poles".

Yes, because food stamps can only be exchanged for food and only at preordained outlets too. The system of food stamps has worked well in the USA for many years. What we must do, is ensure that children at least are fed and at the moment, this is not happening and here in London we have many thousands of children who are going hungry and are in receipt of meals from the various charities who are being overwhelmed by the problem.

http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/dispo... Like I say, if food stamps were issued instead of cash payments, then the parents would have no excuse not to feed their children. Of course, I am not in denial the the savage cuts in the benefits system has lead to the present problem. Feed the Children edit: one thing I do know is the lack of training of our children in school on the subject of domestic science.

Children need to learn how to budget properly and not just go into a supermarket to buy food, but to shop around and try what's on offer in our many street markets here in London and around the UK. When I was a kid back in the 1940s and 1950s food was so bloody cheap no one went short, now it seems that even a bunch of potatoes cost £1.50 - which in reality should be enough to feed a child for a whole day including such as a portion of meat or fish and cheese etc. Anyway, I'm no expert but since retirement 5 years ago, I have continued to cut my food bill by shopping around and eating less expensive cuts of meat and so forth. Next stage will be to go entirely veggie - I saw Sir Paul (Veggie) Macca on TV the other day doing the Diamond Jubilee bash outside Buck House - he looked in great shape.

Think I might give this veggie idea a bit of a go soon. In Lidl a can of baked beans cost me 32pence today up 2p from last week - but still cheap.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
