Food Stamps vs college

This all just my way of venting I am sorry if I have offended anyone it was not my intention

I think that it is completely biased the way they have food stamps set up at least in the state of Ohio. Did you all know that if you go to school and are married, you are ineligible to receive food stamps, but if you are unmarried and go to school you still are eligible. 

I do not understand there way of thinking behind this whatsoever. Apparently when you are married your education is supposed to already be in check along with your fiances, by at least the food stamps standards. I do not how else to put a spin on that. How is that even legal to have that standard, I would like to know how and why they came up with that crazy standard. Once I am enrolled in school we will be kicked off, and I know I will not get answers from the workers, even if I try a hearing, for it seems nowadays they don't seem to know a lot of standards we were founded on let alone actual rights. Now I could understand if we made too much money, but going to school does not mean we are making more money, we have more debt. I do not see how this is fair, we still are making the same amount money towards the home. Hopefully in the next few weeks I will find a job in the field I am pursing, so we will be able to afford to buy food for our house. Due to our credit debt that is currently a vicious cycle. Which is a whole different story. 

Lastly why is our government systems that are for the poor, because yes, we are still considered poor, set up in such a way to help those the are unmarried, but once you are married, it is like you have to go through all these venues just to even get considered. I will not get into right now, the number of times they tried to prove we made more than what we were saying which was false. Or get into the fact of how outdated medicaid is, I do not think they updated the budget of how much you can make to be no longer on there in years, for at least licking county.

*Please note that I am not against single parents I understand you have needs as well. I am just saying that married people generally have the same if not more financial burdens. Nor do I think that we should stop trying to help those that are single.*

recipes

Here are some of my recipes, that are fairly easy to make, and are not too costly either, for those that are watching there budget. These are all summer based. Feel free to change the amounts to your liking, most of it is a rough guess because I don't use measurements that often.

Yummy Tuna/chicken salad

   1/8c mustard
   1/3-1/2c mayo
   1/4 c sweet relish
   10 baby carrots diced

Mix all ingredients in a medium bowl, and my favorite bread to serve it with garlic bread, generally I have it was regular saltine crackers, or white bread.
