I make like 12 to 15k a year yet make ends meet with my only "subsidy" being that I pay a low tax rate. I still buy games, expensive phones, build new computers, go to the bars with friends, yet apparently somebody of my status needs food stamps and every other subsidy?

From your other posts it sounds like you do need subsidies, except they come from your parents.  Do you pay for health insurance?  Rent?  Car/Insurance?  Or if you owned a home there would be a whole host of regular and unforseen expenses.  Spending such a seemingly large chunk on entertainment/electronics would not be prudent if you didn't have someone to fall back on.

Also, I don't know about your scholarships in particular, but most come from the federal or state governments, many others come from Universities funded by the government.
