Maybe the dems should go by the bill they passed back in 2007:
PAY AS YOU GO!!
Tell that to the Dems. This 10 billion dollar whopper is a Republican creation. I guess it's time to buy LabCorp shares, because they just got 34 million new regular customers.
When did it start in America where the government was expected to feed the citizens? There is something fundamentally wrong with that. The end to me of a program like this is mass starvation when the entire system collapses.
Yep. I am not ashamed to admit my wife works and I bring in money as well yet we STILL need food stamps...I will do what needs done to make sure my family is taken care of. I also realize the country is collapsing and we must take things into our own hands and make sure we have food to feed our family...here in NC the republicans have already started slashing programs to help the poor...it isn't making them real popular...I know for fact they no longer cover or help with eye glasses for adults but do for kids.I guess it's ok to let people run over old folks because they can't see but at least they make sure kids can see in school.
No one would fault a family that is working and still qualifies for food stamps. You are working and paying into the program. Certainly not leeches.
However, my husband and I both work at good companies that we have good health insurance with. Is it expensive? Yes, but we pay it. Neither one offer coverage for eyeglasses. I don't think many do.

People starve, riot on the streets, and a dictator takes control and fends to the masses. Is that what you want?
How bout instead of food stamps, the government brings some jobs back to this country, so that people can feed them selves.

LBJ's "Great Society" is when it started.
Feed them, house them, take care of their medical needs, give them spending money and a cellphone.
No idea. They tried this in Florida and it was cut down but somehow the House approves it..odd. Guess they are just going to print more money with their money machines...they don't seem to care or realize they are sinking the country.
Ben Bernanke is currently pumping $1 Trillion a year into the economy. Yesterday he announced that next year he may stop printing and will be taking away the biggest economic stimulus we got going now.
