Anonymous Coward User ID: 34837866 United States 02/25/2013 01:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When will you Morans learn the social programs are a way for the money printers to distribute inflation directly into the economy. They dont give a shit of who and how much as long as it gets into the economy. Then it is extracted back out of the economy through higher fuel prices (laudered) and then it is distributed to the OPEC countries. Can anyone understand this or is it to complex ? |
fore-eyz User ID: 32966453 United States 02/25/2013 01:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's a real conundrum... Having programs available that truly aid a person during emergency or temporary situations and yet keep it from being abused... I go to church with a family that is on every assistance program you can imagine from food stamps, electric assistance, and medicaid for a chronic health condition. Yet they live in a very nice house, drive a newish truck and constantly facebook post about restaurants they are eating in... They are consummate takers. They're not bad people per se, but they are inherently selfish. Same church different family I know who's been without a decent job in 2 years. Went from 80k to 20k. When someone needs help they are the first one to bring a meal or mow a yard. I know for a fact they will go without if it helps someone else. The really crazy thing is family B brought meals to family A not too long ago after another government sponsored baby delivery. The wife complained to the head of the meals committee about what was brought - that it wasn't very substantial or generous - along those lines - cuz there wasn't enough for leftovers and was meatless. I love Jesus. The only way it's even possible to love a person like that is thru Him... People are wretched and disgusting sometimes... |

It's the law since 96, the number hasn't changed even though food prices go up. This is absolute garbage. Go work a retail job that sell food. You will see how VERY VERY wrong you are. I've never seen 7,000, but I have seen women in their 20s come in with five kids, that they cuss at constantly and won't buy a damn thing for, spend close to 1,000 and still have upwards of 3,000 left on their card. I lost my job awhile back and, prior to starting my current job, I had to use food stamps. I had to fight tooth and nail for over a month to get anything, but, in the end, I got $360 a month, for myself. So, yeah, that alone blows your "fact" out of the water. $200 is the MINIMUM, maybe. As said earlier, food stamps do nothing but assist in the hyperinflation that's been going on for awhile. Grocery stores know that a large amount of their business comes from food stamp usage. They also know that people that get 2K plus a month don't give a shit what they pay for something. This is a large part of the reason that food has gone up so quickly. They can make their bank off the food stamp crowd alone. Fuck the rest of us that have to use cash. They don't mind if we walk out with just a bag. They know they have plenty coming that will fill several shopping carts full and overpay with foodstamps. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 31189159 United States 02/25/2013 02:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Actually it is possible to get quite a bit. Here in TX, when I was on them back in 2003, we had a family of 4 and we received $6-650 a month. And it did roll over if we didn't use it. Now $7000, they either let it roll over a lot or it's false. But, I do know, the more dependents you have, the higher it goes. There was one point that we thought we may need to apply, we are a family of 7 now, and we would have gotten well over $1000. However, we decided that things were not severe enough and we could make it work without. We did and are now back on our feet again. |
