When I was a child, I would go 5 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 2: they would give us food coupons or food stamps when 6 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,759 Speaker 2: I would have to pay at a cash register with 7 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 2: food stamps. When I was a child, because my mom 8 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 2: would send me to the corner store to buy some 9 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 2: balgone or a loaf of bread with the food stamps. 10 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 2: I would see people pay with money and I would 11 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,640 Speaker 2: have to pay with food stamps.
