You're aware that most people who get food stamps are the working poor and children?

Because we have nothing in common with Haiti. The situation of our country is not at all identical to Haiti. Only someone who knows nothing about either country could make the comparison.

Both countries are quite different so we wouldn't carbon copy Haiti, but we could see poverty here as bad as they have there.

Yeah, we could see poverty like Haiti has if we cut food stamps.

In many parts of the country now, more children are being born into welfare than are born to working taxpayers. That is not sustainable.

they could start by taking ALL immigrants off of these food stamps. There is such abuse that REAL americans are coming out short. there were always too many immigrants using up these resources even before all of the economic troubles.
