PTT Rant

I just waited in line for a woman, her daughter and grandchild to buy food items with their Illinois Link Card - a card that allows families to spend cash they receive from government assisted programs. What did they buy with taxpayers' money? Your dollars? My dollars? Four small packages of Grandma vanilla cream cookies, a two liter bottle of Cherry Crush, vanilla ice cream, a frozen apple pie and a small bag of onions. I'm sorry, but they only food items anybody on this type of assisted program should be allowed to buy is milk, eggs, bread, meats or any other basic food item - not junk food that sadly they'll blame for making them obese.
