I don't know why Jean and the OP are holding out on us. The OP claimed people on food stamps eat nothing but steak and lobster tails so obviously, since they get $1.50 per meal, they must know a place where you can buy steak and lobster tail for $1.50 total. Not even Vegas has that kind of bargain so, come on, tell us where this magical place is. I want to get in on the action!
I wish they'd tell us. I'd love to be able to eat steak and lobster tails every day on my salary. I don't make a bad salary at all, don't get me wrong, but hey, if I can earn less, be lazy, AND eat better, point the way!!!
Not at all. It comes down to how mismanaged and chaotic this country was made by deregulation, giving the rich and their corporations perks which impoverished the U.S. Treasury, and the non-stop, constant propaganda blaming those who did not create this disaster (the poor, Unions, Democratic rather than Republican ideology), all courtesy of the right wing. You can thank them for the condition of this country today. 30+ years of this BS finally had the effect they were seeking.
Whats not at all?
If so, why hasn't Obama fixed it?

First, President Obama doesn't have a magic wand whereby he can fix the mess it took premeditated and conscious destruction of the economy by applying laissez-faire and Republican ideology over 30+ years. If he did, he'd have waved it, and voila! Instant fix! Second, the Repukes have not disappeared. They're still there, digging their heels, wanting more and more of the laissez-faire, Republican ideology applied that has turned our country into one chaotic mess. They like what it's done to our country, so hey, why not have MORE of it? So they refuse to deal, refuse to budge, refuse to talk, refuse to anything. They just want total destruction.
Maybe I should write President Obama a letter and tell him right wingnuts want him to fix their 30+ years of mess in a couple of years, AND with total resistance from the wingnuts. Hey, maybe David Copperfield might have some tricks up his sleeve to fix this Republican mess asap?
I don't know, I kinda thought the welfare check was quite a bit less than I made per year, and hell, I can't afford steaks and lobsters daily. Maybe I'd make more if I got on welfare?!?!

Not just daily but three meals per day according to the OP. Nothing but steak and lobster.
