Thanks. Thought Arista might be interested in this one, too:

There's one thing about that article, it suggests people buy things on food stamps to sell for drug money. I'm sure there are instances of that happening, but I've known a few people who've done that, even though it's illegal. They aren't doing it to buy drugs, but to pay their heating bill. If you file a bunch of forms basically handing all of your financial and personal info over to the gas and electric companies, they'll agree to not turn your service off for 4 months in the winter, but you still have to pay the entire amount due when that 4 months is over or face shut off, even if it's still snowing outside, even if the people in question are 80 years old and working isn't an option.
