/p> p> CHOICE CUTS br> Re: Paul M. Weyrich's CARFA '04, Where Are You? : /p>This is a good idea. Our local paper, the San Antonio Express-News, ran an article not long ago complaining that our area was losing money because many people eligible for food stamps were not applying for them.
It did not occur to the paper that people still had to buy the food even without stamps so it is not true that the stores and other food producers lost the money.
More importantly, maybe people prefer not to give the government power over them by applying for this aid. Many aid recipients are charged with crimes every year for running afoul of the food stamp program.
p>Maybe cutting back on this and many other programs would be a good thing. br> -- Raymundo Aleman br> San Antonio, Texas /p>
