I know these cuts have been rotting in the bowels of your leaders for a while now, but just where do you people get off? Especially those of you who claim to be Christian. This makes sick to my stomach, especially since I am not in a position to donate much to fix the shortfalls. Honestly - how do you sleep at night?, supporting the monsters who purposefully visit such anguish on their fellow citizens. |
give me half of what you earn then I'll change my ways. |
Well, thank you for your well-stated, well-thought-out opinion.
(pssst, move along everyone else, nothing to see here nothing to see. . .just a poster who has lost her marbles. . .) |
I agree, OP. Thugs, all of them. Economic terrorists. |
Couldn't have said it better myself! |
where does that "half" number come from? to what are you referring? certainly not taxes, which are at historic lows. |
Perhaps if we could reduce the fraud in this program, everyone would be more willing to support it. As a Republican, I strongly believe in helping out the truly poor - giving them a leg up and helping them get to a place where they can prosper without government programs. Unfortunately, this program is no longer a temporary fix for many people. It has become a way of life. We really need to scrutinize the benefits of this program so they go to those people who truly need it. |
Yes I believe food stamps should be temporary. Even section 8 housing. No more cradle to grave welfare. |
I want ALL the freebies I can get. Starting with all you people here. Send a check to me.

Federal, State & local taxes combined. Yeah - it does suck to pay that much after working and studying so hard for so damn long. Why the vitroil? We aren't getting ahead: we are running in place. Don't worry, Sweetie, I grew up extremely poor and am poor today. My children believe they are poor too. Happy now? |
There hasn't been "cradle to grave welfare" since welfare reform in the 1990s. The "T" in TANF stands for temporary. But don't let facts get in your way. |
That article cracks me up. Because there are SO many food stamp recipients loading up on fresh broccoli, normally.
Take your bleeding heart elsewhere and leave my tax dollars alone. |
So let's talk about that word temporary... |
If food stamps stimulate the economy then why doesn't everyone get some ?
I could use some stimulus at Whole Foods. The crap they sell is expensive. And of course I need the most expensive food there is. I am high class. |
Yep republicans will not cut welfare to farmers making millions, but kids and old people cut away. Look away, no market forces here. |
