I worked for five years as a gas station employee in what used to be lower D.C. You know what I think? The old saying 'the rich get richer, the poor get poorer-' it's true. and it has little to do with the government.
Every day I worked there I'd see people drive up in fancy cars- BMW's, Nissan Z's, you name it. They'd pay with EBT cards, and if you don't know what that was, it was the U.S. government trying to pay for food for the poor-anyway, they'd buy pop and chips with their cards, and then drop their pocket change in the parking lot. I'm not saying their change was worth much, what with inflation and all. I'm just saying that they would drop it.
At first I'd pick it up, even with the U.S. dollar worth less than half of what it was worth at the turn of the 21st century. After awhile, though, I just got tired of cleaning up after [the poor]. I'd sweep it all up, and throw it in the trash.
So if you're asking me, seriously asking me, to re-instate old programs that will help get food for the poor, my answer is a resounding no. We don't have the money, and maybe China has the right idea.
