not saying they cannot buy certain things. Just that they can't do it with government money.

Food stamps regulate what you may eat with government funds, not what you may eat period.

Are you understanding the distinction?

And yes, I do think that at this time we could all A) stand to be more frugal and B) worry about more important things than assuring that our orphans have the finest designer clothes money can buy.

I'd much rather state funds go back in to the local community either directly through second hand stores or for Goodwill and the like through charity then end up in Calvin Kleins bank account.

Consider what you're arguing: we should spend more state money at a time of record deficits on non-essential luxury items produced by foreign sweat shop labor and benefiting multi-billion dollar companies (rather than helping local communities) in order to feed our societies need for disposable consumer goods.


And you call me rightwing? The overpriced clothing industry and walmart thank you for your support.
