Re: *** Foodstamps cut-off in Alanta Georgia, troubles coming *****
If you want someone to blame for welfare dependency blame the drug war.

"So assuming that the Welfare State was created by black mothers who had no intent to ever marry, and willfully popped out babies to get paid, we’d expect to see a steady even rise in American government expenditures on the welfare funding sent to families and children starting in 1962 and then into the next few decades. That’s the year the Public Welfare Amendments were passed, which specifically increased aid to dependent children.

And yet that’s not what happened at all...

there’s a distinct spike – but it starts in the early ’70s not the early ’60s. Neither population growth nor total welfare spending explain this spike, both grew at a relatively flat linear rate during this time period. Did it just take a full decade for black women to finally realize that all they had to do was pop out a few babies, marriage be damned, and they could just start rolling in the dough? Or maybe something else happened, that created a dearth of African-American men who were available to actually marry?

In 1971 President Nixon officially began the War on Drugs, which fully hit its stride in ’73 with the passage of the draconian Rockefeller Drugs laws, and very quickly a distinct trend in the American prison population emerged"

You wanna blame the people but really it's the policy. If you didn't wanna pay for the ill effects of the war on drugs you should have thought of that before bowing down to the prison industrial copmlex.

Re: *** Foodstamps cut-off in Alanta Georgia, troubles coming *****
look, I don't deny that there are welfare queens or people who are not being responsible with their lives due to welfare, but all this racist bullshit is making me want to puke..

There is no need to pick on one particular race because all races have received welfare. those racist pics and vids you keep posting are wrong..there is no need for it. We are all aware there is a problem with welfare.

but while you are pointing your finger at the poor, why don't you look again at the highway robbery of the stockmarket bailout or the Iraq War..or the destruction of the economy buy a bunch of greedy crooks...and believe me, the economic crisis we are encountering..the forclosed homes, the lost jobs, the higher price of food and gasoline is not and has never been the fault of the welfare recipient... so get your facts straight and stop playing into the TPTB's hands..

and yes, since we used to be one of the richest countries in the world until we got screwed economically, why shouldn't we feed our children. Why should our own children go hungry when america is a top food producer?

And as far as having babies... Oh yeah, your rich republican conservative hypocritical representatives made sure that they cut family planning services for the poor, so where the hell do you think they could get birth control in the first place? Or abortions because that wouldn't follow their fundamentalist Christian doctrines..

Let's not forget the corruption of the school boards and the cuts in education. Dare you visit some of the schools these inner city kids have to attend?

Yes, to survive, takes personal responsibility and maybe welfare has had an affect on this after several generations..but its all of our fault for ignoring the poor because we were too busy trying to get rich off of the stock market.

Re: *** Foodstamps cut-off in Alanta Georgia, troubles coming *****
Isn't is funny how tens of TRILLIONS can be given to fat cat bankers in bailouts, and TRILLIONS more go to corporations in subsidies and tax breaks, and that might merit one or two pages of bitching by people on here on GLP....

But is some poor mother with kids is getting food stamps by god the bitching goes on and on and on for pages on end. Give it a rest people. Your tax money, if any of it goes to pay for their food stamps is about .0001 percent of what goes to the fucking bankers and their fat cat corporate friends. I wager that NONE of you are paying for their food stamps anyway, the government borrows money from the bankers to pay for it, the bankers print the money OUT OF THIN AIR.

Now if you want to bitch about paying INTEREST on the money that the government borrows for things like food stamps, then bitch about that. But the fact is you aren't directly paying for it, only getting taxed to pay the interest on Trillions upon trillions of dollars of debt, of which payment of food stamps make a very tiny small part.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1504752


Bullshit! You sound like a typical delusional sheep. I had my first child at 40. I waited until I was sure I could care for him myself. We do not expect nor demand people to take care of us. The black community is a burden on all of us productive people. No its not racism it is reality. We must acknowledge this fact without being racist.
 Quoting: Macraider


Most people on welfare are white, just so you know. Feel free to research yourself if you like. Just thought I would throw that in there since you felt the need to point a finger at black people.

BTW, did you address anything I said? Point out what I said in my remarks that you find delusional and we can discuss why you feel that way. Oh, and before I forget most fat cat bankers and corporate heads are white too. Just in case the the race thing gets brought up again.

Based upon all of the racist comments here, I see a lot of people have never bother to check the facts. It is well known the largest percentage of individuals on food stamps are 1. white, 2. live rurally, and 3. live in 'Red' states.

Sort of blows Reagan's "welfare queen" caricature/construct, doesn't it?

One might also note the food stamp rolls have grown exponentially since 2010 -- from approximately 26 million to 43 million recipients -- due to massive layoffs in every state, touching people of every race and socio-economic level, albeit disproportionately. Over half of the food stamp benefits go to children who would otherwise go hungry.

My questions for you (if anyone cares to answer) are:

1. Why would any decent/ethical/moral person want a child to go hungry in the richest country in the world? (not to mention the country always boasting its "Christian" values -- what a joke.)

and
2. Why do so many people in this country prefer mean-spirited, bigoted ideology, as opposed to hard cold facts?

It seems we have a serious moral and spiritual crises on our hands folks...and it didn't happen over night. The is a well known and indisputable mathematically based phenomenon that's transpired over the past 30 years: It's called PROFITS OVER PEOPLE. Who are you going to blame for that? The working poor? The family who has lost their income and means of survival? The single mother? The child who is the victim of his/her circumstance?
 Quoting: Celesteel


We are NOT the richest country, we are the MOST IN DEBT country! In California schools, we feed breakfast and lunch to children who are ABOVE the food stamp level. but not by too much. 48% of the kids at my school receive free food!

Now, what I think we are all complaining about is the system that has put people into these conditions. You do what you know.

No matter the color, those who abuse safety nets eventually drop on it and find a hole...

as they are not the ones generally repairing the same net...


However, it is not a color or race issue to me

Mismanaging trillions of dollars was not done by the gal with the children...

actually it is the white collar boys who we need to hold accountable


On Sept 10, 2001
Cynthia McKinley asked rumsfield about the 2.3 trillion missing from the Pentagon

He fumbled, he hee hawed around and gave no satisfactory answer.

The same rumsfield that foisted aspartame onto the country when it was shown to be very dangerous, even fatal for some.

The same rumsfield who covered Abu Ghraib and supported torture and water boarding all the while denying it...

He was also asked about Dynecorp exploiting the children overseas sexually
Contractors receiving money from the uSA and sexually abusing children in various ways...

He played stupid again, and I was not convinced he was unaware


2.3 trillion...and that was before the other trillions that have since been added

or the trillions in bailouts to banks that were guaranteed to fail...

or the trillions more sent to countries for a host of things...

or the trillions spent supplying illegal arms to rebel forces set to attack our country...


that is the crux of the real problem

and the antoinettes and the powers that be, want to create the impression it is the poor-

admittedly it is a cost, but comparatively to the white collar criminals in suits, minimal


in so many ways


It is presented a certain way so the poor of the world rip each other apart for crumbs

Not all of the poor as some have gardened for themselves vs tearing their hungry neighbor apart...

those who seek outside of themselves for answers will be given falsehoods to ameliorate the real fulcrum from their understandings-allowing the wealthiest to do as they please making their nests secure

wake up, before all turn into barbarians. Wake up, before they approach-and they are already marching.

The same holds true for Medicaid, with individuals not getting access to their medicine. Some of those affected include cancer patients. State officials are hoping to get the matter resolved this week.

Food Stamp Use Rises To Record 45.8 Million

August 4, 2011
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Nearly 15% of the U.S. population relied on food stamps in May, according to the United States Department of Agriculture.

The number of Americans using the government's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) -- more commonly referred to as food stamps -- shot to an all-time high of 45.8 million in May, the USDA reported. That's up 12% from a year ago, and 34% higher than two years ago.

FOOD STAMP BENEFITS BEING CUT

During one of the worst national recessions the government has decided to cut $12 billion from the Food Stamp fund, potentially effecting 41 million Americans.

House members convened Tuesday to pass the multibillion-dollar bailout bill for cash-strapped states. The Bill requires that $12 billion be stripped from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as food stamps, to help fund programs that provide $10 billion to school districts.

I ate out of a dumpster behind a grocery store for 8 months. Never collected welfare. A child doesn't need that much food. These people get free housing. They could do very little to acquire the money needed to make sure their kids didn't starve. The churches even give out free food including donated eggs and milk every saturday morning in the cities. I know cause I was handing it out. And you'd see even people who obviously didn't need it coming in to get it.

Why don't you blame the military while you're at it...because alot of em are on food stamps too..guess their lazy asses shouldn't have been shipped over to the middle east to fight for our "country"

[link to www.military.com]

Military members and their families are using more food stamps than in previous years – redeeming them last year at nearly twice the civilian rate, according to Defense Commissary Agency figures.

The agency reports that more than $31 million worth of food stamps were used at commissaries nationwide in 2008 – an increase of about $6.2 million, or more than 25 percent – from the $24.8 million redeemed in 2007. That contrasts with a 13 percent overall increase in food stamp use by Americans for the same period, according to the Department of Agriculture, which administers the food stamp program.

The spike reverses a 5 percent decrease in food stamp redemptions by military families from 2006 to 2007.

The commissary agency stressed that its figures include military retirees as well as Reservists and National Guardsmen who shop at its commissaries. Commissary agency officials were unable to provide numbers for the first half of 2009.

The rise in food stamp usage in the military may also be attributed to a recent change in the way the program is administered. Program users may now use a debit card to buy with food stamps rather than traditional paper vouchers – decreasing their visibility and so eliminating any stigma or reluctance to using the government-funded aid.

The increase in food stamp usage by military families can be viewed as part of a larger, national trend. Figures show that food stamp use had been rising sharply across the country even before the current recession, even though much of the previous decade was marked by a robust economy.

Program users may now use a debit card to buy with food stamps rather than traditional paper vouchers – decreasing their visibility and so eliminating any stigma or reluctance to using the government-funded aid.

The increase in food stamp usage by military families can be viewed as part of a larger, national trend. Figures show that food stamp use had been rising sharply across the country even before the current recession, even though much of the previous decade was marked by a robust economy.

Shove that. Racism was good enough for god, it's good enough for man. There is nothing wrong with racism. We are meant to be separate. It has been proven over and over that multi-culturalism doesn't work.

Re: *** Foodstamps cut-off in Alanta Georgia, troubles coming *****
Isn't is funny how tens of TRILLIONS can be given to fat cat bankers in bailouts, and TRILLIONS more go to corporations in subsidies and tax breaks, and that might merit one or two pages of bitching by people on here on GLP....

But is some poor mother with kids is getting food stamps by god the bitching goes on and on and on for pages on end. Give it a rest people. Your tax money, if any of it goes to pay for their food stamps is about .0001 percent of what goes to the fucking bankers and their fat cat corporate friends. I wager that NONE of you are paying for their food stamps anyway, the government borrows money from the bankers to pay for it, the bankers print the money OUT OF THIN AIR.

Now if you want to bitch about paying INTEREST on the money that the government borrows for things like food stamps, then bitch about that. But the fact is you aren't directly paying for it, only getting taxed to pay the interest on Trillions upon trillions of dollars of debt, of which payment of food stamps make a very tiny small part.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1504752


oh, we are posting all over the place, not just here. If you think we think the TRILLIONS of dollars BORROWED is JUST food stamps, you're dead wrong. This is about Government getting out of our lives and stop spending money "to help us all." We are tired of working our lives and feeding the world when we can't barely make it on our own. Government is not Robin Hood, or shouldn't be. It's dragging us down and taking away our freedoms and our reasons to keep going, well, at least us productive, hard-working, breaking our backs, Americans.
As above, so below.

Ahhh, you used two different words there! Racism and Multi-culturalism. It is not a Racist problem, it is a cultural problem. When folks stopped having to a blend into our great melting pot and we had to start addressing and bowing down to other cultural norms the past 60 years, we have separated into groups and not joined as one. Previously, people were American after one generation, that is not so now. People do not drop their Old Country identity. People came to America to escape and be free here. They get here and now they don't get the "Welcome, we share your search for freedom. Join us." If you have never seen "I Remember Mama," you should. "We are American now!" I'd love to hear those words come out of people's mouths. once again.

Are you suggesting there was a time when the black race culturally the same as whites? That's proposterous. Some tried and the illusion was attempted. But underneath nothing ever changed. Race always dictates culture in such extremes.
