Lester User ID: 38639719 United States 08/24/2014 01:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Look back to 2010/12, they cut $13B from food funding then... Still giving that corporate welfare, more and more of that.... $80B per month for "banks".... not any banks that any of us use.... Nothing like the GW Bush fuckheads from 89 on who began the Fulltime Rape, Plunder, and Pillaging of America for their corporate buddies.... All you fuckheads who applaud this shit, you are pathetic. This fucking govt taxes the shit out of all of us, wrecked the economy and infrastructure of the nation and now is starving the fucks they impoverished. This is heinous and dastardly. All the money the govt fucks stole using the US Treasury could have been given away to the people and America would have been a vital economy again. |

It seems that he does a lot of stuff people on here should like. This thread is an example. He also ... Put it like this, if Bush had magically been Preisdent when the Syria, Libya, Iraq thing kicked off, who doesn't think there'd be US troops in all of those places by the thousands. Obama has been very chill about this for the most part. On top of that - consider the sabre rattling from the GOP about Ukraine. Obama - relatively chill. All the things they make the liberals hate him - and they do mostly - should make the right like him. It all seems pretty silly. What would Chris Christie be doing in Iraq? Would Rand Paul have actually, actually dated to stop sending ammo to Israel? Even briefly...? I have a feeling that the right is gonna miss him when an actual liberal gets elected. |

Lester User ID: 38639719 United States 08/24/2014 01:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What they envisioned, we have become. Nothing they have done so far to foment civil unrest and violence has worked, so they are down to "let them eat cake" starvation as a strategy... Almost $6 Trillion in the current budget that is Six Thousand Billion dollars. 55 million on food stamps probably share their food with another 40 million from time to time... The fucking country is so destitute and bankrupt. The people so downtrodden and without hope... There are NO Fucking Jobs, much less careers. All intentionally fucked and ruined. This don't affect you? Next round of bullshit will fuck you so completely and leave you for the ants to chew on in the gutter. Think this is "welfare"? You don't even know how many rich fucks use government to rob you of all they can get... |

euc User ID: 46419856 United States 08/24/2014 01:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.msnbc.com] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 62032271 On Friday, President Obama added his signature to legislation that will cut $8.7 billion in food stamp benefits over the next 10 years, causing 850,000 households to lose an average of $90 per month. The signing of the legislation known as the 2014 Farm Bill occurred at a public event in East Lansing, Mich. The food stamp cuts are one component of a massive omnibus bill which also includes billions of dollars in crop insurance and various other programs and subsidies involving American agriculture. Before he signed the legislation, President Obama praised it as an example of bipartisan problem-solving that would help create jobs and move the American economy forward... Government assistance needs to be cut. PERIOD. Infinity = Zero |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 23583307 United States 08/24/2014 01:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Frankly idgaf about this... I live in a town where like 1/2 of the people are on assistance and don't even try to further themselves. If you work hard and need it you should get it. But if youre just a turd sitting around trying to get carried well fuck it starve. Tired of carrying the dead weight. Lets trim the fat. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34356336 How much does the average household spend on food? Now times that by how many households are on assistance. Hmmm that's a lot of food and money. What will happen when the assistance stops and no push for job creation, no bills in the house for job creation and frankly very low skilled workers unable to find jobs? I'd say this is the recipe for chaos. We will definitely see the collapse of food corporations and agriculture. Recipe for doom. "Job creation" is a ridiculous stopgap, nothing more. Eventually, they will actually have to give serious consideration to a guaranteed basic income program. |

As a disabled person I have gotten a cash raise at the beginning of most years... that sounds good on paper; but, my foodstamps are always cut by the same amount as the cash I get... so, my raise, actually is a pay cut . How does a raise become a pay cut? . Because, the amount of my income that is taxable goes up, and the foodstamps which are not taxable are cut. . I have been involved in social ministries in my neighborhhod for years before I qualified for any services; and since 1980, nobody has gotten an actual raise... but gas has more than quadrupled, food prices have skyrocketed... plus, Exxon, BP, etc., get more of our tax dollars, and our young troops to help them? While the troops families often recieve foodstamps, which are being cut? . |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1178728 Canada 08/24/2014 02:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This bill was signed Feb 7, 2014 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 54245580 it is almost 1 Trillion in spending, You can bet the 8.7 Billion in Cuts out of a Trillion Dollars is Only to Hurt and Inflame the Government Slaves/Dependents since 9 Billion is only about 9 percent out of a almost Trillion dollar program. All of this money comes from the Federal Reserve Bankers out of thin air anyway. If taxes ran the Government it would be out of money two to three days into every year anyway especially with all the people that no longer have jobs and contribute taxes/ Volunteer to be robbed by the government. Actually, its more like 0.009%... Think about it...if you had $1000 in your pocket, and spent $9 on a (i.e.) pack of smokes...you wouldn't even notice it. |
Black Knight User ID: 61216945 United States 08/24/2014 02:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | far too many people have given up and thrown the towel in , with there hands always stretched outwards , we lost our desire to succeed, our grandparents came here with NOTHING and made something out of nothing and thrived. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 61924774 Yes they came here and built railroads, cities, roads and businesses. Now that all of these things have been built there is no more need to build, only maintain if that. All of what exists today is owned by the wealthy so there are little skilled, decent paying jobs, but plenty of lawn mowing, child watching, bathroom cleaning, low paying servant jobs that is all, at least for the majority of work available. When a nation is growing, the people thrive. Once it stops growing only the wealthy thrive. He who feels the respect which is due to others cannot fail to inspire in them regard for himself, while he who feels, and hence manifests, disrespect towards others, especially his inferiors, cannot fail to inspire hatred against himself. When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains, and the women come out to cut up what remains, jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains and go to your gawd like a soldier.
