Trump budget will slash $193 billion in Food Stamps and $800 billion in Medicaid over 10 Years.

i know (not closely) three people who are on disability for mental illness issues and while you might think all of them cld work, with one of them the only time the person is safe to be around is when medicated and the medication renders the person too tired to function and when not on meds = crazytown dangerous ... the other two one might think cld work, but one gets bad bouts of debilitating depression, depite medication, which wld interfere with any job and the other can be aggresive nasty bitchy personality wise in-between apologizing for behavior that i dont see how anyone wld keep the person employed ... way too unstable and unpleasant to be around (maybe bc never learned boundaries or as a result of drugs done when younger or life or bc underlying personality disorder, idk)

hving had infections which crossed blood brain barrier and caused erratic neuro-psych symptoms myself, i cannot imagine living like that my entire life. i really feel badly for these people, but i dont want to be around them (wld be different if you loved someone though as long as they werent destructive to your life), not for any extended amount of time .... wld not want to work with someone like that ... responding angrily without knowing why when normally you are a laid back chill person ... and not really being able to stop oneself from those negative impulses which wldnt even happen normally is not easy to deal with at all ... being like that ones whole life? not good....must be really hard (if they are able to be aware of it) ... one of these people was a cleaning lady for me for awhile ... i cld not put up with her, so if i cldnt put up with someone like that doing a cleaning job, how is someone like that going to hv stable employment (i generally give people a long lead and am pretty understanding)

it is not easy for these folks to get on disability and the money is not much at all, esp. if they didnt work or work long enough to get ssd vs. ssi.

we shld actually be providing MORE for these people, not less.

^^^this guy thinks welfare families are getting only $190 a month in food stamps.

I'm no fan of corporate welfare, but be realistic, pal.

Great idea to save all that money, to spend on wars and give to the rich, some of the money must trickle down.

Many think this is a bad thing, but according to the Bible, those who won't work, won't eat.

Forcing people to once again be responsible for themselves breaks the chains of communism and re-establishes strong self willed, self made, hard working, respectful people once again.

The only thing that the Illuminati fear is a strong man who is NOT dependent on the Government to survive in any way.

“If America could be, once again, a nation of self-reliant farmers, craftsmen, hunters, ranchers and artist, then the rich would have little power to dominate others. Neither to serve nor to rule. That was the American Dream”.

Irony by Brief:

Quote: from Brief…Today's Lesson In Irony

The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is actually proud of the fact it is distributing the greatest amount of free meals and food stamps ever.

Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, asks us to "Please Do Not Feed the Animals" . . . Reason: "the animals will grow dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves."

You mean they're sending us $350B for outdated and purposefully crippled military equipment?

I am for doing good to the poor, but...I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. I observed...that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.


Benjamin Franklin

Yes, I sure can...it tells me the private sector got ##ucked, while the government grew at the private sectors expense. And now...the private sector is trying oh so hard to climb out of the ##hit hole, but keeps getting drawn back because the government sector doesn't want to let go. Why? Because it (Government) can not survive without the private sector taking it in the ###ss & handing over money. How'd I do?

Starve niqqers, starve.

Not feeding the poor while they have no medical insurance is part of the great culling. The thing you're not looking at is what those fucking savages will do when implemented. You better arm yourselves!

not just the BLACK man either. the POOR "white trash" white folkeses too!

It seems the bible also says to take care of the poor and the sick.

Not everyone is poor and/or unemployed because they are lazy buns who want to live off of the hard-earned tax dollars of those who work.

Of course these days blaming the victims is all the rage.

Just remember, any of us could get into some kind of accident that could leave us disabled and unable to work, I bet something like that would change that attitude real fast.

why does trump keep attacking the poor?

not just the BLACK man either. the POOR "white trash" white folkeses too!

All of us would be savages if we lost the ability to get food.

Actually, "junk food" is the cheapest calories in the grocery store. $1.00 can buy 1100 junk food calories, but $1.00 can only buy 200 calories of fresh fruit and vegetables.

Soooo..your saying I should have looked at the graph more closely? And since I did not that makes me a 100 iq? Are you kidding me? And stop with "Gotch" if I'm wanting that I'll watch cnn.

why does trump keep attacking the poor?

I would like to see all the disability claims reduced to 1/3 of current levels.

But the whites have the smarts to get jobs unlike the dumb niqqer beasts.

I have multiple sclerosis and I cannot work! Are you saying I shouldn't get help? I only get 130 a month in food stamps and it isn't enough to eat the whole month. I hope all of you that are bashing the ebt program don't ever have to use it. You might have to change your tune.

This will force them to quit giving to Illegals, this will make the ones who can work go and get a Job.

This will not hurt the ones who actualy need help.

It will hurt the lazy fucks, the ones hooked on Drugs who will not get a job, Illegals.

You dont want to starve get a Job, you want healthcare get a Job, that simple.

My 17 year old,15 year old got a Job, and my 16 year old.

The 17 year is starting college and will continue to work.

There are jobs out there, if people want them.
