Cloward-Piven and food inflation in action

[Torpedos]

i think these recruiters should just slip the cash under the doors of everybody. even if you dont deserve it, even bill gates should have a few 20's slipped under his door. forget the sweepstakes guy coming with the big check, now its the foodstamp recruiter......ill be back, somone just slipped money under my door. my vote has just been bought.

So, giving away food does not restrict supply, consequently increasing food prices for the lower-middle class?

She watched as a few golf carts and motorized scooters drove toward her on a road lined with palm trees, passing Spanish Lakes signs that read “We Love Living Here!” and “Great Lifestyle!” The first seniors grabbed giveaway boxes and went home to tell their friends, who told more friends, until a line of 40 people had formed at Nerios’s table.


A husband and wife, just done with nine holes of golf, clubs still on their cart.

Where you happier when only half the eligible recipients were getting food aid.

"A decade ago, only about half of eligible Americans chose to sign up for food stamps. Now that number is 75 percent."

I am happiest with 0% getting food aid from the government, just as has been done in this country for many decades prior to the war on poverty.

The price collapse would devastate farm owners, agricultural banks, equipment suppliers and their banks and eventually Wall Street Prices. This effect would be amplified if we eliminated the expensive and destructive Gasohol program.

The Government is a g*sshole of expelled inflation.
