how 'bout a color tv and cable service.  In New York, welfare
recipients get discounted cable service and can use food stamps at
McDonalds.  Who benefits?  The companies, of course.

Cable TV and McDonalds.  Sort of like free bread and games at the

messages can be piped into their heads 24 hours a day.  God forbid
poor people should ever open a book.
