Don't get me wrong I don't believe these programs should be just stopped on a dime. However, I think it is necessary to slowly wean the American people off of them. However taking from one to give to another even with good intentions is still theft. These programs were wrong from the moment they were implemented. The American people have little choice in giving 4th of what they make to the government. Technically they don't HAVE to they can fight it and usually win when it comes to not paying taxes like the income tax. The cold hard fact is very few people can afford to fight it or even find it worth the fight to not pay it. My suggestion to you and your problem is contact your local community action or other various charities. I donate to charity, better believe if I didn't pay the government roughly 4 months a year of my earnings I would donate more. I believe that goes for most people who have ever fallen on rough times or know someone who has.

Just because they are federal programs don't mean that they should be.

All the best
