Oh Snap! For children foodstamps college?

Call me crazy, but when he needed money for college, I got a job. Of course, I I lost some parts of TKE and games like "quarters", but it builds character and it kept me out of trouble (mostly). I was surprised recently to learn another program on the right to expand. Its aim is to college students. It is the food stamp program was renamed former in 2008 for the feeding program and additional assistance or SNAP. The program is sponsored by universities and you guessed it, our federal government. Now that I think my school had feeding program additional classes. We call the party was.

The promoters of SNAP are worried that students might be embarrassed to use coupons coupons food, so it came with an interest credit card. After all, not all students are entitled to a credit card? I'm sure it fits well within their trapper keepers. By the way, that children always use the guards hunter? Why not make an application to their iPhones (Probably all have one), and made the grocery store right to your door. Students with the most demanding tastes prefer to use credit for food stores luxuries such as Trader Joe's and Whole Foods. What? no ramen noodles or Mac and cheese? Hello Goodbye Brie Government government!

The welfare state mentality has really jumped the shark. About 13% of Americans are now in good quantity. It was no surprise to me that Obama called the last budget of 72 500 million dollars in power bills – nearly double the amount in 2008. If these programs work so well, there would be fewer people in them? This administration doing everything possible to promote the "cradle to grave" human rights. I have no problem with food stamps for the needy, but extended into the program to include students in college? Really? According to Northwood University blog: "If college students Use food stamps "(November 19, 2009)," Students do not need in the real sense, they just have a cash flow problem.

As a student who began working in the restaurant from my parents at the age of 14 years, I was actually a minority. I could not believe how many of my colleagues class had not worked a day in their young lives. SNAP promoters try to convince students who have "paid into the system" so they deserve to use it. The problem is that some students are selfish enough to buy this.

Another argument made by supporters is that the program is needed for offset the rising cost of college tuition. I offer this as another example of the government the cause of the problem to be solved. According to the College Board, Trends in Student Aid 2008 "

"The growth of federal spending on subsidies for higher education has increased the number and percentage of students higher education dependent on government assistance. In the 2007-2008 school year, 5.4 million students received Pell Grant-contra 3.7 million in 1997-1998 and 2.9 million in 1987-1988. "

The College Board, "Trends in rates of college, 2008"

"The years of greatest subsidies and dependence on federal assistance to students was followed by a steady increase in the cost of college. The College Board reports that tuition and fees in institutions issued public and private four years has increased at an average annual rate of 4.2 and 2.4 percent after inflation over the last decade. "

William W. Playa Heritage Center for Data Analysis, wrote in "The rate in 2009, the government agency" (March 4, 2010): "In continuous to increase aid to students, and expand the pool of students who are able to access assistance programs, increased government spending on higher education students were less sensitive to price increases colleges and ease out of control spending by many colleges and universities. "

It seems that the solution to reducing the cost of college is for schools to increase competition by reducing costs in order to attract more students, not to add more and more students Government Dole. In his book The New American Revolution Tammy Bruce said eloquently: "It is extraordinary to answer only to myself. This is a freedom each of us deserves. "
