Food Stamps For Real?

Ok So I know that I am cheap somtimes.  I Like to save a few bucks here and there. But i try hard to contribute the appropriate amount if I split a pizza with someone  or go on a road trip.  So I am in the dating scene and I must of brought up that I need to grocery shop or what not.  Well this certain individual proceeds to tell me that he is going to try to get on food stamps.  He tries to rationalize that it is money that is already spent by the government and blah blah.  The kid has a college education which he did not have to pay for and has no debt.  Life is tough.  Maybe it is those "white" kids that bring a bad rap, and create and emphasize the phrase white privilege.  But it creates a bad rap for  us that are struggling despite being white.    Needless to say I can not understand the thought process of this individual and well.....   Food Stamps For Real?
