Sure You think that with wellfare and food stamps one could just live great. But get this, If you are unemployed and receiving unemployment benifits you are elligable for Food Stamps, yup a whole $35.00 a month. That will feed a family of 5 no problem right. Not to mention that you could get wick if you have a child under the age of 5, a couple gallons of milk a month some juice and 1lb of cheese. Just something to think about.

Some have jobs in the city, but a bunch still "live off the land" as they have for generations.   JIMMY *************************************************************************** Mark Wendt wrote: Unless you have a little pride and refuse to live off the welfare dole.
