Yup, This economic recovery is really taking off

Lazy fuck'n kids!

20,000,000 children

:welfaremom:

Hard to know how accurate those figures are. I don't doubt the number is higher than it should be but I will give you an example. My husband was unemployed for 6 months and as much as we hated it, we had to go on food stamps for a while. As soon as we filed for food stamps, the kids were placed on a free lunch program at school without our knowledge (later they told us this was automatically done "in the system") so the lunch money we sent everyday was declined. At the time, we were grateful for the unexpected break with three kids in elementary school at once.

However, after a few months of being on food stamps, my husband got a great job and we immediately contacted our local government office and requested we be taken off the food stamp program. They did but our children's school refused to take them off the free lunch program. We sent lunch money everyday but the offer of payment was declined. We sent letters that went with no response. Finally, frustrated that they wouldn't take our children off of this program, I went to visit the school personally and this is what I was told..."The schools receive government grant money for the number of children receiving free or reduced lunches so once your child's name is on that list to receive them, the school will refuse to remove their names because it would result in a reduction of the amount of money they receive from the government."

This should piss everyone off! Not only are they giving free lunches to children whose parents could well afford to pay but they are taking government money (YOUR money) to supplement for these children who are not in need! Schools are making a racket out of the system and raping the tax payers and the media get their numbers of children on food stamps from the schools which are more than likely skewed (at least in our case).

Yeah more black kids, but white kids as well!

Yeah, the article even showed a fat cow chowing down with her kids...

The government is giving every person on food stamps a food allowance of $350 per person per month. For a family of 5, that comes to $1,750.00 a month. As I stated above, we were on food stamps for a few months and they spoil you. Can you imagine trying to spend that much money a month on food when your normal grocery budget is more like $500 a month? Is it any wonder there is abuse of the system and so much obesity in America?

As soon as we could, we got off of them and now we encourage others we know on them to use the excess money to stock their pantries. I see a time in the near future when, after they have everyone hooked, they shut the EBT cards off, riots commence and they can declare their much anticipated martial law! It's only a matter of time!

I don't know where you live or what your income level was, but, here in Wisconsin it is no where near that much. Food stamps are determined by income (obviously) and are pro-rated according to how much income one has (including child support and such).

For example, a family of 5 that I know of who do receive child support get around $500 a month. That is also about what I spend a month on myself and my 4 kids, so, that seems a reasonable amount.

Eligibility and amounts are determined on a state level.

WHO THE FUCK KEEPS A BUCKET OF BUTTER AT THE TABLE?!?? LOL!

I think your story is bullshit

:cantbelieveitsno:

Well DUH!!!

Simple solution - close the programme and scrap the minimum wage. In weeks if not days, the US will be back a full employment.

FAIL!!!

The current 100-year British attack plan on the USA is a failure if this is true. Their plan called for 80% of America to be on food stamps by now, jobless, homeless, etc.

EVERYTHING they try fails. Only good thing that will come out of this is the great culling, to where everyone knows who all the corrupt are now! LOL! fools (beware of their desperation now).

This is proof they have failed and will NEVER pull off their third invasion of the USA.

Good wins, evil fails.

You OK? You seem to be having some kind of seizure. Want to take a seat? Can I get you a glass of water?

This is very sad and the USA should be much more flexible
to handle the Unemployment!

Imo. there are tooooo many Rules and real independent
creation of Jobs become/ became impossible!

.

Parents who have allowed their own kids to become dependent
on the hard work of others should be ASHAMED, especially if
they allow their children to stay on Food Stamps.

Most of those same fuckers are on the free School Lunch program, too.

Most school food is nasty. Fix your kids a bag lunch instead
and pay for it with your own goddamn money!

Actually, what's hurting job creation are automation, outsourcing, and the concept of the bottom line. The larger a company's profit margin, the higher its stock goes and the more money its executives make. The "smartest" companies are able to hire the fewest and cheapest people and spend the lowest amount of money on labor and benefits.

As long as Americans insist on working for a living wage, then companies will outsource, unless they are medical, food service, and other hands-on businesses. If they must hire real people in the US, they will hire the cheapest they can find -- illegals if possible -- and as few as possible.

Politicians in DC can talk all they want about job creation. As long as smart businesses can use machines and a few cheap people to do the work, employment will stay low.

And sure, minimum wage can go down or be abolished, but unless consumer costs also drop like crazy, we'll simply have a huge class of really poor people competing to become personal servants or worse at slave wages.

@ Little Bee, so *ban Out-Sourcing*
because it harm the People of the USA!

A big Company is not only responsible to make Money
they are also responsible for their Workers as a Father
is responsible for his Children!

Bullshit. The maximum you can get per person on SNAP is $200/month for the first person, and ~$167 a month per person after that. Your estimate is nearly a thousand dollars a month more than they would get. If there was $0 income, they would get $793/month

Well, the voters are going to get what they voted for. I mean come on libtards did you REALLY think this community organizer knows anything about the economy? Or economics in general?


We all knew the economy wouldn't recover under this guy. It's been tried, Carter had pretty much the same policies and unemployment was through the roof with his as POTUS as well.

History people.....history.

You sheeple have no concept of reality.

Free Trade agreements/treaties have destroyed job availability here in the U.S.

Tariffs are a constitutional protection just for this reason and these unconstitutional "treaties" have destroyed the average americans ability to procure work that provides a living wage.

I'm sick of you tools spreading your lame ass disinfo.

That is a huge part of it. But a congress who understands that business needs freedom and wiggle room to operate, instead of contricting them with regulations and taxes would help a lot also.

So the UK has had a 100 year plot to destroy her biggest fan, friend, and ally through foodstamps?

There were no foodstamps a hundred years ago.

Pretty much, they signed our wage security goodbye. If we didn't have NAFTA and etc, we would still be a manufacturing country, rather than having become a services country. We signed the manufacturing jobs away to China, and now it's expected we give our minimum wage up when they used to pay a living wage to begin with because we didn't pay other countries to make everything and just buy buy buy. There's a reason we're in a hole like this and that poverty is so high.
