"Normal people" being the operative words.
USDA disagrees with you. Otherwise they would ignore this fraud, right?

I have to ask....are you...or have you ever been a taxpayer? You seem to not give one damn about how money is spent or wasted. Have you ever contributed? I'm beginning to question your objecitivity because you don't seem to have a vested interest...ie. pay taxes. Or are you just that apathetic by nature?

I said that because this guy Aero has a real bug up his @ss about welfare. He hates the fact that he has to pay for it. He hates poor people.

Let's compare that with some Pentagon Programs.

No, cuz God Forbid we do that, huh?
Exactly!

At least Food Stamps GO BACK INTO THE US ECONOMY and help support small business and corporate agriculture. Even JP Morgan makes money issuing all the cards across the country.

Where is the return-on-investment for spending TRILLIONS every year in the Middle East?
I won't hold my breath waiting to hear that answer. And No fear-mongering, please. It's 2012.

Can we get some deeper thinking liberals around here? Please???????

Oh please, quit with the fraud part. You hate the fact that any part of your paycheck goes to anything that as to do with the poor.

Oh, God....here we go with the Nancy Pelosi "food stamps grow the economy!" argument again.

The Middle East is irrelevant to this thread. Start your own if you intend to do nothing more than to deflect from the inconvenient truths in the OP.

Fraud is the topic of the OP. Stick with it or move on.

1% is wholly irrelevant. The total is $750 MILLION annually. Explain to us why that amount of fraud using your taxdollars doesn't bother you.

Are you seriously that apathetic?
