Here in California there is an active ad campaign promoting food stamps. It would seem to me that this isn't something that needs to be advertised. And it would seem to be wasteful to spend money on an ad campaign that promotes giving taxpayer money away.

I have been told that the same occurs in the Chicago area(Cook County), and is not limited to promoting only food stamps, but also section 8 housing and electric and natural gas subsidies, and free cell phones.

Is it so people feel less ashamed that they are unable to support themselves?

Why should people feel shame? They are entitled to the fruits of your labor.
