Government cheese is awesome. When my old man became an official senior citizen and retired, he made the trip into the city, (about 25 miles), to get his government cheese every month. Or was it every week? I forget. Despite the fact that he was getting his union pension and social security, he somehow qualified for the cheese. Anyhoo, that cheese was friggin' delicious. Kinda like Velveeta, only better, and sometimes it would even have bacon-bits in it! So for you wing-nuts who keep saying the government doesn't do anything right--WRONG! Eat the cheese and stand corrected!

I asked him once why he bothered with the cheese. He said, "The shits delicious. And besides, I busted my butt for a half a century. I'm collecting my damn cheese."

In my college days, we figured out that we qualified for the Government cheese deal. One Saturday, all 5 of us headed down to the place where they were doling out the cheese. Each had to fill out a one page, 2-sided doc. stating who we were and are particulars. After that, we received our stuff.

We each came home with 2 giant loafs of cheese, 2 boxes of powdered milk and 2 large containers of corn meal. All I wanted was 1 cheese but they boxed everything before I could refuse everything else.

Back at the house, the cheese lasted for what seemed like forever even though a lot of it went to friends. It came into the house in the fall and there was still some floating around late into the following summer.

Not bad stuff! A pretty tasty and much appreciated treat for broke ass college students accustomed to living on box mac'n cheese, rice and a steady diet of all things venison.

and the reason you got free cheese was not because you were hungry but because the farmer had political CLOUT AND LEANED ON THIS REPRESENTATIVES to create a false market for his product.

Government cheese: $0.00. Your dad's comments: Priceless!

I think the cheese IS velveeta.

Jean Valjean knew stealing was wrong, and most of the theft at shopping centers around here is by crackheads. They used to steal for returns, but now that's hard so they steal to order.

It should be every red-blooded Americans' god-given right to have a pair of designer jeans!

Wrong, wrong, wrong. Even if you accpt the priest's thinking, the store manager gets hit with the results of the shoplifting. The big national chain did not get big by ignoring shoplifting. What sort of an education are you giving your children if you shoplift.

Yeah, if you are a big corporation you can effectively steal by selling someone a bad product and refusing to stand behind it, but eventually you get yours.

There are so many examples of big corps ripping off the average Joe I would not even start to list them. It is no wonder that the culture in the inner cities is "us against them."

But that's okay. As long as they are ripping me off to protect their bottom line and make themselves a wealthy as possible, I'm all for it. It's the "Great American" way!

Geez, when are you going to learn, Nooner?
