Hunger in the US, 37 years of food stamp reform I

[gmx1100]

Now it's at the point where any one can walk into the welfare office and get Food Stamps (SNAP). My brother is 34, single, no kids, and able-bodied -- yet he gets 400 a month to spend on his SNAP card, no joke. I don't understand why they are encouraging people to be on the dole.

It's not the kids fault but it's 100% their parents fault. You don't have kids if you can't afford to feed them. What makes me mad is that people complain that they can't feed their kids, but they always have so many of them. Whenever I see someone bust out the ebt card at the grocery store, they always have at least 4 kids, usually more.

Food Stamps is there to SUPPLEMENT your food budget, not completely take care of it.

I disagree with your comment on there being no need for welfare if there were food.

There are people cracked out on welfare. I grew up in a poor neighborhood, where I moved on to the middle class people I grew up with were in prison or still on welfare and food stamp

they are now dependent on welfare and have no reason to work

I'm sorry but people this poor should not be having children

[MrAstro888]

@inkey2 there should be no poor... I bet you think the money you have is legal tender... there is nothing backing the money anymore and there is nothing backing your way of thinking other then a failed system... God Bless

[inkey2]

@MrAstro888 yeah, and if they stopped having children they can't feed there would be considerably less poor...........as far as legal tender I know all about that I am a precious metals investor

[MrAstro888]

@inkey2 precious metals wont fill your belly when you are hungry @ night... i'd invest in clams shells before what you value as precious metals... you dont strike me as a logical thinker... to invest in people has more value then gold... When the sun rises, I go to work, When the sun goes down, I take my rest, I dig the well from which I drink, I farm the soil that yeilds my food, I share creation, Kings can do no more. - ancient chinese 2500 b.c.

[inkey2]

Of course precious metals will fill your belly at night. If you have an ounce of gold...just sell it for 1500 bucks and buy food and fill your belly till you puke. I don't think anyone will give you 1500 dollars for your clam shells. You sound like some kind of nut
