I'm a Foodstamper, Ask Me

You're not paying for anything. Those days ended decades and decades ago. The government borrows the money and uses us all as collateral to do it.

Our taxes can't even pay the interest on the money our government borrows from the Federal Reserve.

17 TRILLION we owe the Federal Reserve and countries like Saudi Arabia and China. It's got nothing to do with food stamps.

This debt can never be paid.

A hundred years ago all major US cities had things like Bicycle factories, Umbrella factories, all kinds of factories...

Now there is shit.

Fucking Starbucks, Chipotle and government jobs.

Obama gonna have a few million Mexicans on the EBT soon as he moves them off the military bases and the MREs he's feeding them.

So start it again. Companies get started every day. Some live, most don't, but there a million ways to make a buck locally.

okay, a thousand.

but lots and lots and lots of things need to be done, and many people are willing to pay for it.

I'm not ask me a question?

I hope you eat healthy and not buy junk food.

No, it couldn't. Not in the USA, anyway. Not anywhere people would want to live or anything they'd want to drive. Especially based on averages for Home and Auto prices.

Yes.

Strategical shopping.

At the real estate bubble peak in 2007 to total value of ALL real estate in the US was $13 trillion.

So basically, you are wrong.

That has NOTHING to do with purchasing EVERY American a home and car. So you are wrong.

He's too lazy to get a job, you think he has enough self-respect to care about his health? LOL

We don't even know if he doesn't want to work. You jump the gun on this when there is likely far more to it than that. Btw I do agree with you about blacks though LOL

Hey OP, hope things get better for you soon, and until then keep your chin up. I pay taxes, and don't mind you getting help.

Unfortunately, I live 1/2 mile from Walmart. There aren't any other stores within several miles so I do have to stop in there every now and again to get milk or eggs. It seems each time I'm in there, there are people in line in front of me using their EBT cards. Even when you can't see the cards, you know they are using them because there is always a cash balance at the end for the things the cards won't purchase.

Well, the ladies in front of me yesterday just about had me saying something to them. The grandma couldn't have been much over 30 (they were white). The daughter was mid teens and there was a very young baby as well. Their cart contained what I figured was probably a week's worth of food: two large loaves of cheap white bread and one loaf of garlic bread - the nasty pre-buttered kind, a large pack of bologna, a large box of Velveeta, a case of store brand cola, spaghetti and sauce, a large bag of russet potatoes and a bag of chips. There was not one vegetable in there. You know they were eating bologna and cheese sandwiches all week, washed down with a cola. OMG!

Both women were puffy fat. You know, the kind which jiggles and muffin tops hang out above the pants even though they weren't terribly overweight. There are healthy big girls - such as Serena Williams - and there are the puffy kind due to bad diets and lack of exercise. Man, those women are going to kill themselves by the time they are fifty if they eat like that all the time.

Has the amount you get gone down in the last year, if so how much?

OP said he lost part time job two weeks ago.

OP said he just started food stamps.

Most people on GLP hate foodstampers.

The OP said he worked two part time jobs and lost one.

What a dumb-ass...

That's nothing.

I'm a FoodStomper.

I've stomped carrot, radish, cabbage, I even stomped tomato once.

I'd do it again too.

My family just got it this year. My husband works full time, and I have a 7 month old and 4 year old at home, and I'm not working just to pay for daycare and gas. I didn't want food stamps, but my husband said it would help us at this time; things are getting very rough out there. We pay taxes, isn't that what this is for? Things will change, but for the moment, we will use this help.

Many, many military families of noncoms get food stamps too.

It's not a disgrace. If you qualify, if stupid NOT to sign up.

I'm on EBT and I share my food with other non-stampers and food challenged friends.

I used them today to buy bread, large peanut butter, two large bags of granola, Canned food... cans of soup and cans of veggies and cans of fruit. All on sale of course.

The soup was the best deal. Because I used coupons.

Without foodstamps, who would buy all the excess food ?

I just don't want it to be too convenient. I don't mind working in exchange for food, as long as it was weekends so my husband could be with the children.

Food challenged, lol, you're a hoot.

Yes, foodstampers are food challenged and food insecure.

Only on EBT couple months now.

Are you planning on updating us monthly?

Ok- so, how's it going?

No thanks, don't really care
