Food stamps should be more like the WIC program when people are pregnant.....buys them the cheapest brand of eggs, bread, juice, milk and a certain dollar amount of fruits/veggies. It's insane to let food stamps buy nachos and pizzas from the convenience store...snack food that will only make you fatter and hungry again in 2 hours from no nutritional value.

Agreed, I am also against ppl buyin a couple hundred worth of T-bones and crab legs while I've got fuckin Kroger brand soup in my cart that they wouldnt serve a prisoner
But the real problem is half the ppl sell their food stamps (for 50 cents on the dollar) to buy drugs or whatever.
Look if you come in and you're a fukin rail on the edge of starvation and can pass a drug test to prove you're not a meth/crackhead then sure you deserve some foodstamps but when over 80% of African-American women are fat or obese give me a fuckin break. Some 400 pound bitch that can barely lift herself out of bed in the morning, the last thing she needs is more free foodComment -
Agree. If it was more like WIC the system wouldnt be so abused.Comment -

Add peanut butter, cereal and maybe a few pounds of ground beef. It would keep the kids fed and nobody would buy the stamps for $.50 on the dollar if all they could buy was shit like sugar free cereal and eggs.
I'm ok with food stamps when it comes to foster parents, grandparents having to raise their grandkids and handicapped folks but everyone else should only get them for maybe 2 yrs. That's long enough to go to community college or figure something out.Comment -
Hispanic isn't a race. Mexican is, Puerto Rican is, Cuban is, etc. In The U.S. if you are considered white or caucasion when it comes to race. Hispanic or Latino are considered ethnicities.Comment -
Of course there are people that need it, just like unemployment. The problem comes from the abusers and how do you stop it.Comment -
Stop the free handouts. Require proof of employment (any employment for Christs sake) to someone who pays payroll tax for food stamps and offer a portion of unemployment benefits, med benefits, etc for the working poor. I don't mind helping the guy out working a shit job at McDonalds or Taco Bell, but these fuks who sit around and do nothing don't deserve a dime.Comment -

Food stamps are up because unlike TANF, food stamps were never block-granted, which means states don't have a say in how many people qualify. If it were up to the states, half of them would just say "f- it" and use the block grants to subsidize property tax cuts.Comment -

the guy you and your family voted for put everyone in the poorhouse while making bankers ceo's and other white collar criminals richOriginally posted by bettilimbroke999Absolutely agree cap dat 4s, who the **** would get a 40 hour a week job if their unemployment check is going to be 70+% of their paycheck. BTW unemployment was originally intended for 26 weeks (basically 6 months of doing nothing and then you're on your own), its currently been extended to a mind boggling 99 weeks by Congress and they are trying to extend that # 20 more weeks, unfukinreal. Its obvious they could go into any McDs and get a 10 an hour job and make 50 bucks extra a week but who the **** would work 40 hours at McDs for 50 bucks?
When you throw in food stamps, sec 8 housing etc they are making MORE to NOT work than they would to work and support themselves. Is it any wonder there has been a 74% increase in food stamp recipients in less than 4 years, maintaining that rate the entire country will be on food stamps within a decade
so of course they're on foodstamps and welfare...if not they would die from starvation...along with the kids
but what do you care? you just spew racism from inside a gated community buried in your moms basement with 3 padlocks on every door
difference between someone like yourself and those poor people you're racist twords?...they know how to survive off nothing...$0 in the bank $0 assets...but yet still surviving
you wouldnt last a day on the streets...now go have mommy make you another cup of warm milk and enjoy your sheltered life

and based on these statements you wonder why hispanics and others feel a certain way about white people. Historically you stole this country and enslaved or killed anyone who stood in the way. and you think all races should be equal despite the 400 year head start? how about starting today we enslave every white person from now until 2411 and see how things work out for you.Originally posted by darrell74Ahhhhh, a thread devoted to the state I have lived in for the last 15 years.
Okay guys, this is how it works in the land of enchantment.(New Mexico)
You know how a lot of black people like to play the race card to blame their own personal inefficiencies on everybody else.
Well-
Out here, it's those goddam wagonburners playing the ol' you took our country from us card.
They stay on the reservation and take handouts like a mother focker!!!
They're also the reason why we have of the highest rate of DUI's in the country.
I learned a lot of this shit when I use to sell accident/life/health insurance.
We do have quite a few hoodrat sluts that won't get an abortion even though they should(some kind of catholic bullshit that they believe in).
But the numbers go out to the goddam wagonburners, plain and simple-question answered.
Seeds are planted and harvested. Things will change much sooner than you think. hispanics will be a majority in the next 30-40 years. it will be interesting to see how that changes the political atmosphere and structures of power. i am interested to see the hatred toward hispanics and their over population. In a democracy, numbers in population will lead to power. i can't wait to hear who cries and complains then about not getting a fair shake lol.Comment -
Country will look just like Mexico in 30-40 years then...something to look forward toOriginally posted by kingdom

I dont live in a gated community in my mom's basement, Im a man who made his way on his own and own my home bc I work and pay for it, its that simple
If I didnt work I would have 0 in the bank and 0 assets and be a ******* bum that begs for money from the workin man in the form of welfare then insults him for working
Get a fuckin job you bum!Comment -
who said I didnt have a job?...I work part time for a friend that owns his own company and im going to school clownOriginally posted by bettilimbroke999
its obvious you have so much time on your hands...you can create ghost accounts on the board for entertainment..so its obvious you're being taken care of by family or relatives
anyone with as much time on their hands such as yourself couldnt possibly be working 40+ hours a week
so which is it?...parents fitting the bill?...relatives?...unemployment?
ok now stay logged in 24/7 and continue with your racist rants...hope that 'job' pays you well

oh and for the record there are plenty of people who work and still have $0 in the bank...its called bad budgeting coupled with being raped by fica
well if you're a ceo or a banker fica gives them a break
thx to your God Bush and his tax breaks for the wealthy that STILL havent expired (and you seen how the country was held hostage both times Obama tried to end them)

Go to the ghetto and live off welfare with the rest of the garbage. Dont worry about how I make money (just rest assured Im 100x smarter than you and dont leech of society or relatives to pay my bills). Spend all your day beggin the workin man like myself for a handout and think youve got it made bc some idiots actually think lazy bums deserve my money instead of earning it themselves, problem is theres a 74% increase in leeches in the past 4 years alone so soon the workin mans gonna run out of money and then where will you be? Maybe finally have to go out and earn some money to support yourself?
You're lucky Im not president or youd have starved to death long agoComment -
That's why the Republican will not win the 2012 election. The people in poverty or barely surviving with sh1tty jobs and relying on food stamps as supplement easily out numbers the rich in votes, and no way in hell they're going to vote for the super rich to get richerOriginally posted by Grandmaster Boh and for the record there are plenty of people who work and still have $0 in the bank...its called bad budgeting coupled with being raped by fica

America is great bc it has always had a large middle class. We are becoming a nation of ultra-rich elite that do nothing for their money and ultra-poor bc of being stupid/lazy bums that do nothing for their welfare money, while the hardworking middle class gets screwed to deathComment -

rats!
Looks one less vacation for them to a island resort, like the one aig execs went to after the bailout.
p.s. dont get me wrong as a American that pays taxes (EVERYONE PAYS TAXES WHEN YOU BUY GAS WHEN YOU BUY FOOD WHEN YOU BUY ANYTHING + FICA) I am against illegals and people scamming the system. Yes I have in fact seen people using a EBT card ride off in a escalade on dubs (im not kidding) anyone thats ever drove past a county building (I used to pass one downtown when I was a public transit rider) you will see droves of people lined up. Did you catch the video of the stampede just to sign up for section 8 recently? Point being for every one scamming $200 in food stamps every month...multiply that by 437865087864 and its not EVEN A DROP of what politicians/ceo's/bankers have taken. Only difference is they can do it legally...if someone gets caught for welfare fraud its not a slap on the wrist. Bush took care of those white collar criminals and created what you have here today. If you want to focus on anything...you should be focusing on the people running things. Why are you choosing which scammers to rant about? Wouldnt common sense say the one who scams the most would be most responsible?
The Bush tax breaks for America's most wealthy are still in effect to this DAY. What year did Bush check out again?
Obama let the Repubs have their little victory. The breaks are still in effect even when its obvious they're not needed. No worries though. You think people (people meaning your everyday worker that has $0 after paying for groceries and gas to get to work) will forget all about this mess in 2012? Its chess not checkers.
Ive never voted. After the florida incident with a different Bush...I probably never will. Dems Repubs are similar in many ways. Did it happen to be coincidence that the president who has caused this depression (seems like we're in one dosent it?) was a Repub from Texas? Dont answer that.Comment -
It comes down to how do you plan on supporting yourself:
By earning money
or
By begging for money from those who have earned it
Make your choice and that says all you need to know about your characterComment
