There are many professions that require leaders to have a certain amount of pure objectivity in order to make decisions that benefit the greater good whether it is a construction company, hospital, or a government. However, government leaders must take into account the human toll of their decisions whether it is going to war or dealing with a budget, and as Americans have witnessed for the past year, Republicans have lost any sense of concern for Americans as human beings; if they ever had any.

All social programs need to be reformed and 100% monitored to prevent abuse by those we do not qualify, those are are lazy and a cancer on this Earth. Those who continue to make mistake after mistake after mistake, having two plus babies out of wedlock is not a mistake and therefore do not qualified for government assistance. We need tougher laws and they need to be reinforced with penalties and jail time served for fraud and children put up for foster care or adoption. I like China's laws, 1 child per family since these knucklehead Westerners don't use the resources given to control reproduction! Most of them are psychological unfit and unqualified to be having these babies in the first damn place and now my hard earned money is allocated to their stupid asses! They should ALL be required to take a psychological test prior to or go to jail. They need to re-qualify for these food stamps every 3-6 months and watched like a HAWK! |

Without it, there would be revolt. In Ireland, the safety valve is emigration. Without it, the pot would boil over, and we don't want that now do we. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 16271074 United States 05/18/2012 09:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Quote from article Quoting: Blqathena "Whether Romney or Ryan know it or not, food stamps are not a luxury for elderly Americans or children, they are a lifeline that keeps them alive. The requirements to be eligible for the SNAP program are robust enough that only the neediest Americans are able to qualify for assistance and a fair share of those who do qualify are the working poor who fall below the federal poverty line. Over the past week, this author interviewed several families who use food stamps, and every family had at least one adult in the workforce and still desperately needed help to feed their families. The trend toward paying minimum wage for part-time work to avoid giving lunch breaks and benefits is a model more large companies like Wal Mart are using to increase their profits, but it is slowly sending more Americans into poverty. The overriding message the people who were willing to share their stories was that they want a good, living-wage job instead of depending on government assistance, and the shame these good Americans feel at having to accept handouts is crushing. The stories were all the same and most of the families were not making it from paycheck to paycheck, and half had moved in with family members to make ends meet." Yeah there are people that cheat the system. But a majority include myself who do receive food stamps are like the people described above. I've gone to a prestigious boarding school, studied abroad in high school, have a degree in anthropology with 3 minors, but making less than 25,000... With children... We are not all bums!!! So you have food stamps and the internet? I bet you have a big screen Tv and cable/satellite also. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 15728761 United States 05/18/2012 09:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I remember goin to the food bank awhile back as I was kinda destitute, watched a Mex gal pull up with a new Cadillac SUV, claim food for maybe 10 kids and who ever else and filled that vehicle up real good. It was stuffed, I watched the whole process, they gave her all choice items like good cuts of meat, fresh veggies and a slew of household goods. Meanwhile I get a couple of bags of stale bread and ramen noodles for me and my wife.(still grateful though). But just sayin, a lot of this shit with welfare and other programs is extremely biased and ill managed. |

I do most of the food shopping fo my family. I see SO many people buying garbage name brand food on benefits cards. I saw one lady buy almost an entire cart full of hungry man meals with her card... Oh, and a box of chocolate. They need to make food stamps more like WIC where only certain foods can be purchased. They also need to put some shame back into using those benfits cards. When they got rid of the actual paper food stamps, people can slip the card to the cashier and nobody else knows. Its not everybody thats on food stamps (benifits cards) who abuse it, but its alot. I saw a lady the other day buy a basket full of fruits and veggies with it. I almost thanked her. |
