Yes and had noting to do with Obama. We have threads on this before so look for them. "Fair" has nothing to do with what you or anyone else eats or chooses to spend their food budget on. In fact, "fair" isn't something measurable or a legal term, it usually means "I can't have whatever I want".

I call shenanigans on this load of crap, again.

Let me guess, someone was standing behind someone with a grocery cart full of prime rib and lobster, and noticed they paid with food stamps.

...and let me add, the person was talking on a smartphone, their kid was playing with a tablet computer, and they drove away in a brand-new Mercedes...did I miss any cliches?

I think they had their nails and hair done and were wearing designer clothes as well. And it's always a woman. And she's usually black. Apparently the poor blacks on public assistance do better than the poor whites on public assistance, who only show up in "People of Walmart" photos. And let's not forget the one poster who insisted they were all wearing "Obama" jackets too! HAHAHAHA

Yesterday many conservatives were claiming that working class families can afford $700,000 homes, today you claim they are barely suriving.

If affording a 700K is barely surving, than I want to barely survive.

Its time to cut back on the Obama stamps if people are really buying that stuff.

They aren't. It's an old RW blog talking point, resurrected and dusted off.

Most people on food stamps are White and most live in the South.
