That Gov. cheese has welfare on both ends. Everybody looks at the people eating it but never look at the manufacturers of the cheese or the farmers supplying the milk. Both ends are being supported by the tax payers in the middle.

government cheese is made by many cheese producers....they all simply sell surplus cheese to the government at the support price.

We've been eating a lot of government peanut butter we got from a barter. Stuff is pretty good too. Only problem I have with it is the label. Its all in Spanish. Don't know what that's all about.

How about some government cinnamon rolls to eat with that cheese?

How come there's never any surplus beer for the govt to give away???

Brewing manufactures under a recent act of Congress (Maxine Walters D-California) bill sponsor, require any surplus beer to be reformulated into malt liquor and made available to "disenfranchised young adults and the habitually unemployed" as part of a government surplus giveaway/ voter registration initiative. ;-)

 

[greybeard]

That, is pretty discriminatory. What about us old disenfranchised adults????????

You do realize if you question anything our president does you must be a racist.

 

[greybeard]

What if I have questioned things every one of our presidents have done--what does that make me?
Oh wait--I know--a grouchy old disenfranchised adult..so be it.

 

[red angus 2010]

Well that makes two of us I'll buy the first round

According to this, there is no longer "government cheese" and hasn't been since the early 1990's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_cheese
If so, I for one didn't know that. There are still certainly programs in place to provide the poor with food (on the one hand) and provide farmers with subsidies on the other (milk price supports etc).

So, at any rate, as one poster above points out, there's welfare on both ends of the food 'aisle', from producer to consumer. Personally, i like dairy farmers (or at least my rosy-colored idyll of a family dairy farm; probably not so much a big conglomerate); and I also hate to see poor children starve, so although I dislike "welfare" as a general rule (and hate taxes as much as the next person), I guess i can't get too hepped up about government cheese.

On the other hand (sorry to hijack a thread, but it's the Coffee Shop), has anyone heard of the band Government Mule? Heard "of" them for years and actually heard them on the radio recently. Good stuff. Fronted by Warren Haynes (of Allman Bros. fame). http://www.mule.net/the_band/index.html

GM played at my friend's birthday party here a while back. I went but opted out at the last minute when I thought I smelled burnt cheese or something. From the looks of the crowd attending I'm pretty sure the FBI and the GBI had cameras up somewhere looking to find out who was burning all their cheese. Paranoid? Don't think so - didn't stay long enough. ;-)
