Bluebird User ID: 730536 United States 11/08/2012 12:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When food stamps were first expanded nationally in the 1970s, just 1 in 50 Americans participated; today the figure is almost 1 in 7. The program has doubled in size since 2008 and quadrupled since 2001. Quoting: Bluebird Food stamps are one of nearly 80 means-tested federal welfare programs, including 17 for nutritional support. Collectively, these programs cost $700 billion annually, plus $200 billion in state contributions. From 2001 to 2006 the food stamp budget doubled, even as unemployment remained around five percent. Food stamps make up 80 percent of the current farm bill, costing $770 billion over the next 10 years. Food stamp spending is projected to remain permanently and significantly above pre-recession levels. Were food stamp spending returned to pre-recession (2007) levels, and increased at the rate of inflation, it would produce 10-year savings of $340 billion. The current farm bill calls for only $4 billion in savings. The rapid increase in assistance is remarkably similar to the rapid decrease in the ratio of workers to Social Security/Medicare recipients, and it’s just as unsustainable. It’s also a demonstration of how absurd the program has become. We are the wealthiest nation on Earth, and yet 1 in 7 Americans have to get food assistance? More than 40% of us don’t pay federal income taxes, which means the burden of these costs fall on fewer and fewer Americans as well — about 4 in 7, if that. That kind of ratio will lead us to the same entitlement crunch we’re already barreling toward with Social Security and Medicare [link to hotair.com] ---- So we have $770 billion dollars in food stamp programs alone, that's upwards of a trillion dollars in that one program alone. It's unsustainable. No way around that. Recipients have DOUBLED in size since Obama took office. Well, here we go for another 4 years. Will it double again? Corporate welfare = MANY, MANY trillions. Link??? I don't necessarily doubt it but would like to see it and know under what in the budget this is listed as there doesn't seem to be all that much unaccounted for. Here is where Anonymous Coward 279 says TRILLIONS and TRILLIONS. Sounds like something Carl Segan would have said. It's not trillions but billions. And I an not for any bailouts, not even the sacred auto one. I don't like corporate bailouts any more than personal ones. They are both not the duty of the federal government.

An Assistant is a helper, assistance is delivered, it is not a person. "With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things." William Wordsworth And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe—the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God. John F. Kennedy Inaugural Address Lincoln's economic advisor Henry C. Carey explained the universal issue in his 1851 Harmony of Interests: "Two systems are before the world.... One looks to pauperism, ignorance, depopulation, and barbarism; the other to increasing wealth, comfort, intelligence, combination of action, and civilization. One looks towards universal war; the other towards universal peace. One is the English system; the other ... the American system, for ... elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world."

Quoting: Manu-Koelbren there's nothing to do but to await for collapse and the ensuing wars that will come and decimate the population yet again. So, we should be encouraging them. Encouraging them for what? There's no way out of the mess we got into, now there's just too many people who think society owes them something and we have a system based on debt money which is waiting to collapse. When it does all the leeches won't be provided for and somehow they will have to be got rid of. The way this happened all throughout history is that nations descend into totalitarianism and the very governments people voted into more power to "protect them" will end up committing genocide against them. The people who think society, or more accurately, the government owes them something is a very small part of the whole equation. I'm guessing not even on the radar compared to the other things you spoke of such as the fiat money system. We're talking about 50 million people and around 780 billion a year. They are a drop in the bucket when placed aside the real reasons why it is all collapsing. It doesn't matter what they do, the collapse is coming anyway because that's the plan. To absolutely destroy America. Yeah in the grander scale of things they might be minor but the truth is that right now the system has changed so much that even if we suddenly "made things right" it would still be almost impossible to accommodate everyone so they'd be pleased. Many people think, oh if we just used all that money for the wars and corporate bail outs for the people everything'd be fixed, WRONG! it wouldn't be fixed because right now America is living off a bubble of debt money which if corrected would show the reality which is that America doesn't really produce enough to have all their citizens live the way they believe they are entitled to live. ANd this happened precisely because people feel entitled to things that actually need to be produced so they can be enjoyed and they AREN'T being produced anymore. Banned as usual. “It is far easier to be a weakling than to be a Real Man. Were the Earth less harsh or the circumstances of life less austere, man would destroy himself before the shrine of the languid goddess. Only Real Men can with safety destroy the tangled forests and wilderness of Earth and make from them gardens, but will those who inherit the gardens be Real Men? The law decrees that they must be, or the wilderness will reclaim its own.” |

It's obvious as fuck you're a Democrat, since you are spewing the same, idiotic talking points about corporate welfare being the problem and avoiding to talk about THE BANKS. So stop posting on the internet please. And yes, too much unregulated welfare hurts the poor as well. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 27305279 United States 11/08/2012 01:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Corporate welfare’s sole redeeming quality, to the extent it has any, is its relative size. Washington ladles out about $100 billion a year in handouts to the undeserving rich. That is a minute fraction of federal outlays for social welfare (Medicare alone will cost more than $670 billion this year). But it is still roughly $100 billion too much. Quoting: Bluebird [link to reason.com] None of those links provided says anything about any TRILLION dollars going to corporations. I am not the person who claimed trillions. But I will provide this for you [link to abcnews.go.com] 100 billion to the wealthy and 72 million to feed the poor. If you're cool with that... [link to www.google.com (secure)] My link showed a 100 billion yearly for corporate subsidies. That bailout money is just just one ugly beast. And these fools think Obamaphone lady has that money. I asked her, she said, Negro, I gotz 6 dollars, and cold 40 of Colt 45 malt liquuuor and like ahhh, 64 in fooood stamps. She aint got it. I have stated this many times on this forum and I will now do so again. Ask any hustler, running a shell game on the street corner who his biggest mark is. Well dressed, seemingly educated white people. Why is that? Because they think they are to smart to be fooled. These people are losing at the shell game of life run by the Fed. We are fucked simply because to many people simply have no common sense. The best slaves are the those who think they're free. Nice dude. |
