They do not charge for writing checks or using debit cards and they save me at least $5.00/month in postage. With a few clicks of my mouse, I can pay all my bills.

You use the loaded word, "minions." Again, do you think that the democrat electorate is a well informed electorate? When we just throw around loaded words little is accomplished in finding real solutions. Right now our country is pretty much broke, and until we fix that we are in a mess that continue to plague us as a country.rcorumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02276694547675544067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9827454.post-70860089706740807252011-10-14T23:15:59.012-05:002011-10-14T23:15:59.012-05:00Clearly, anonymous 11:35 is someone who understand...Clearly, anonymous 11:35 is someone who understands the dynamics of poverty and the role of the poor in elections...<br /><br />Wasn't aware that this tactic of Obama's was somehow a more productive vote machine than the conservative right's pandering to the whims of the millionaires and billionaires who fund their campaigns (and whose minions vote in droves).<br /><br />But I think the point was missed: It's not whether food stamps are a good or bad idea; it's admitting that the support systems that we provide to the poor are inadequate means to achieve any sort of self-sufficiency.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9827454.post-42417205806116777952011-10-14T11:35:51.708-05:002011-10-14T11:35:51.708-05:00Food stamps, like social security, were never mean...Food stamps, like social security, were never meant to cover all food expenses. They are merely an assistance. Obama loves people to get food stamps, that means they are dependent which translates to votes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
