Should welfare, & food stamp recipients, be required to sweep the streets & pick up litter before benefits ?
My mother had to get food stamps in the 70s when I was a small child in order to keep us healthy. People used to glare at us in the store and the cashiers were often rude and sometimes downright mean. I’ll never forget when one time a person said, “Geez lady, have enough kids?” My mother used to cry in the car on the way home from the grocery store. She had 3 daughters and she stayed home to take care of us while our father worked 2 jobs and put himself through college. I don’t think that we should have been sweeping streets like people doing community service for DUIs. None of us has ever been on welfare. Two of us went to college and got Master’s degrees, the third is a stay at home mom. My mom was Catholic and she believed the Pope. That doesn’t make her a common criminal. Get off your high horse. Not all people on welfare are too lazy to work.
