WIC I agree with because it is limited to certain HEALTHY foods and only certain amounts of them. Food stamps I disagree with because they can buy any fat and sugar stuffed crap. Food stamps should be designed more like WIC. Food stamps should allow families to get fresh fruits and veggies, bread, milk, eggs, beans, etc. The basics. Want that soda, candy and chips? Hand your own money over.

I believe Wilkes has a larger population than that. 69,306 according to the 2012 census.

In last weeks JP. It said 7000 household in Wilkes were receiving EBT and 25000 were receiving some form of aid. Of course I think the last estimate is total bull**** considering the county only has a population of 31000.

Actually heyzeus, sameo' , and drknowitall, many have lost their jobs, and many work hard, but still need a little assistance. I really don't think we should let them and their children starve.

Well, it's obvious that you have no clue what you are talking about since you lump WIC and welfare together.

This poster doesn't sound like he is just trolling. I think he's trying to pick a fight with everybody. I know there is a lot of liberals on this site but I think a lot of them are just misguided god fearing liberals.
