The second article is BS.  This government is going broke providing welfare and food stamps to poor people.  If they are hungry then perhaps they should use the food stamps for food instead of selling them off.

I wouldn't believe anything John Russo says either.

I just threw Russo's book into the trash after being in my library for a decade, how much taxpayer money does he suck up every year?  This abuse of public money needs to be stopped and defunded.

Russo is trotted out as the defacto "expert" on Youngstown's steel industry, but his book has so many factual errors I could write an essay just setting the record straight.
