text: how do you feel about welfare programs; yes, like food stamps, but student loans or govt subsidies?? most people just think of welfare as cash assistance, medicaid, and food stamps...but i would say you also have to include fica student loans, government subsidies to farmers, etc...when you think about it, any government program that gives you money as grants or special low interest rates are a form of government welfare. my fiance is on food stamps and is a full time college student that is about to get her bachlers degree she is raising 3 teenagers on her on,she works two jobs part time she is a great women and there nothing i would change about her,you got to survive the best you can do and move on when the time is right....  best of luck
