Tobor, I have reservations about what you've stated, but I will have to incline to agree with you. Using state money (that I've paid taxes for, after all) isn't that bad, especially when you need it. I've thought about doing what you're doing, and am in the process.. I have a job, but I now have 3 other family members to think about, not just myself, so I justify my weening the states monies as payback for all of the taxes I have been paying over the years. With food stamps taking care of the food, I can take the money that would buy food and use it on other things, like, I dunno, Ammo and such. Congratulations on your new monthly expenditures :p
