This is a Rare Politician Who Would Do This

You have to take your hat off and give credit to Oregon Governor Ted Kulongoski for having the courage to try this. Even I have never tried to make it on just $21 for a week for all the food one would purchase and consume. You are basically looking at bread, water, bouillion cube soup, macaroni and cheese, and ramen. You get no meat, no fruit except maybe a couple of bananas, no vegetables, and your nutrition is a joke and dangerous to your health with this kind of constraint in place.

This says alot about this program and how the most fragile and needy in our society are summarily dismissed. Most corporations and their executives and management could very easily double or triple this program's financial resources with no sacrifice or effort if they were good caring compassionate people.
