Geauga and Holmes Counties have a problem:
They don't have enough food stamp users.
It's all the fault of those Amish. How dare they assume they can survive without government aid? Or raise their children...it's for the chillldrennn, ya know? One in 5 qualifying families in Geauga is Amish, one in 3 in Holmes, and they aren't applying.
The guys on the ground in the local Department of Job and Family Services know the answer is "ain't gonna happen". But Jeanne Carroll,(Phone - (614) 466-4815) deputy director of the state's Office of Family Stability (as if a burrocrat could make families stable), claims that "we can't assume they don't want the benefits". After all, somewhere there may be an Amish hypocrite. So the state is going to spend more money so that they...can spend more money.
I invite Carroll (along with Agriculture Secretary Fred Dailey and his flunky Lee Ann Mizer) to go to the Hell of the Amish. I am certain the Amish would not agree with this sentiment, but I'm not Amish and can do what I want in that regard.
