WIC: Killing children with kindness

*** begin quote ***
The United States Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, commonly known as WIC, distributes vouchers for food for low-income families. Among the food distributed is about half the infant formula in the entire U.S. According to a study from the University of Hawai’i, WIC’s distribution of infant formula not only distorts the market for infant formula, it puts these infants at risk of illness and death.
***and***
Unfortunately, like many federal aid programs administered by the states, WIC has a vigorous lobby group — National WIC — made up of the thousands of state and local government officials that run the program.

Isn’t that the usual standard for a gooferment program?
It doesn’t work. It actually harms those it seeks supposedly to help. Turns out to be a welfare program to some business or another, maybe even a industry. And, is protected by a huge lobby of gooferment bureaucrats that it supports.
And, you — the reader; yes, you, on the otherside of the glass! — defend this gang of thugs that is killing poor children in your name. with your money?

Clarifying update at 2007.05.22 0730 edst
The original wording made it seem that the author Michael Hampton was the “you” in the phrase “you defend”. That’s one way for reading it; certianly not how I meant it. Considering he wrote the expose, it doesn’t make sense to take it that way. But once again, I have demonstrated the principle that two people can read the same text and often come away with many different meanings.
