Taxpayer funded food programs.

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 26 Oct 11

How many people are on WIC?

CRSunrise @CRSunrise (2981) • United States 12 Dec 08

I think this question may only be applicable to the US. I'm on WIC, and I am definitely glad about it. Especially when my son was on formula. Those cans of formula were so expensive. Another reason I'm glad is we don't always...

Is anyone on WIC? If so, are they pretty strict on qualifying for it? We make a little more than the posted amount for the size of our family so we haven't applied. Any help/tips/suggestions?

What do you think about food stamps, welfare and WIC?

thunderofsins @thunderofsins (738) • United States 8 Feb 07

Do you think that it is good? Bad? Do you think people abuse the system? I think it is a good idea but it needs to be better regulated. Too many people are abusing the system.
