Have you ever noticed that when a debate over some program really degrades it becomes an argument over whether someone can afford X or eat dog food.

I always find this funny since most of the folks who are arguing this in Washington have never really been poor. See if they had been they wouldn’t be arguing that folks who are poor would eat dog food as their primary choice of food. Even at the cheapest dog food is just not the way to go if you don’t have money.

The first year my wife and I were married there was a period where we lived on 15 dollars a week for food. If we had chosen dog food we wouldn’t have made it past Wednesday.

Next time maybe they should consider this instead ;).
