Epic fail ...try 80 billion

Plus it isn't just the cost of food stamps ....it's the overall drain that long term government dependence has on society .... Economic and moral

these people who live off of handouts for years on end could use ingenuity and start their own businesses, go to school or get a job and work their way up .... They could then be a contributor to society rather then a drain on society

But problem goes much deeper then economic residuals

we have a moral problem .... the family unit or the lack thereof

Instead if government taking care of fanilies ....families should take care of families ....when the father and the mother go through finacial troubles ...the sons and daughters should step up and help out ......when the son has problems then the father and mother should help out .....etc...etc...

But since the traditional family unit has been destroyed by progressives this is hardly ever practiced
