Food stamps are basically corporate subsidies. They allow corporations like Walmart to pay substandard wages and the workers can still eat. Thats how shit Walmart wages are without food stamps people would not be able to drive to work, rent an apartment and feed themselves and their kids. They can only do 2 out of 3 of those things barely. Unionize Walmart Republicans and you will save billions on public assistance. Just another fact that you will never hear bloated pig Rush Limbaugh tell u

my mom got 10 bucks when i was a kid. Some people just assume everyone gets the max

[rapingurchurches]

why waste the funds on feeding people when we can just make them into something edible.

Food stamps are a RIPOFF.You don,t pay your tax,s with food!!Yet they give u inflated priced processed shit in return It is demeaning and creates a two teared society, And your goverment treats you with contempt by not trusting you to buy with cash what u really require.. STAMP OUT FOOD STAMPS FOR CASH DEMAND EQUALITY ,,But dont listen to me I,m just a filthy communist

Wonder if all those on food stamps voted for "hope" and "change"...

More people are without a roof over their head, more people are unemployed, more people are on food stamps, gasoline prices are through the roof.. the middle east is on fire.. the national debt has skyrocketed...

Barry Obama is well on his way to being a one term president..

@japaneseninjaguy you are right but some people use it for GOOD,but vain ones use it for bad

[TheVideo5094]

good, cut corporate loop holes and food stamps,because although it does help the poor,it has vain children on it who think they're better than everyone wearing the best shoes,clothes they can only afford because of food stamps .filling up their carts with food and the children aren't even thankful,little jerks, so I agree with republicans,but they also need to close up the loopholes and tax cuts for the rich

@stefminus Must B pretty nutritional stuff, I see it most in the carts of those who write a check or CC to pay. Un-fortunately the next person will have a problem with someone using FS to purchase fresh unprocessed meat.
