  1. Oh, and as far as bootstrapping, did you know that in order to receive welfare/food stamps, you have to go to a job search program 5 days a week from 9-5 where you MUST look for a job under their supervision???? I think that counts as bootstrapping.

  2. Many people cannot put food on the table after paying rent. Lots and lots of food stamp recipients who are underemployed, employed making less than $15/hour, or unemployed. Could you live on $300/week?

  3. “Oh dear. The well off and comfortable are again telling the super poor how to live and eat. Happy Monday!”

    it wouldn’t be an OT without rich people telling poor people how to live!!

    next up – vaginas!

  4. “Without some kind of bootstrapping program, all these do-gooder, great society ideas just perpetuate a cycle of hopelessness and poverty.”

    Bravo DCB.

    BTW there is nothing wrong with frozen veggies. I’m sure that is how many of us were raised b4 they started flying in farm goods from chile.
