Yes, cut all the constitutionally mandated government functions before we limit our dole payments.
PLEASE. a military that has as much spent on it as the next TEN countries combined (some of them our allies!) was not constitutionally mandated. Especially since the constitution says something about defense. If the entire world attacked us, we'd win.

And we already spend more than that on entitlements.

Remove all US military forces from foreign stations first. Then cut the Pentagon in half.
Then I'll consider it.
Done
Finding a president who follows the constitution and getting the welfare receipts to vote for that will be impossible. But in general the food stamp program needs to go and a sensible foreign policy needs to be put in place. WW2 is over.
This current president is to busy promoting government RUN healthcare and in the process killing the military men and women on hidden waiting lists at the VA. If their ever was a food shortage I wonder who the food stamp recipients will act. Probably need to bring those military home from those bases to police the streets of animals.
Meanwhile, in the real world.. 50 million Americans use the food stamp program known as SNAP. Most folks on the program earn a wage. Unfortunately, that wage is too small to provide adequate nutrition for themselves and their children. Taxpayers such as the OP must feed those folks, because their corporate employers are more concerned with outrageous CEO pay and excessive dividend payouts to their shareholders. Employee labor is a liability, so it should be as low as the law allows.
Speaking of law, the minimum wage hasn't been adjusted since 2009. The same companies forcing the OP to pay for Joe Mooch's Food Stamps have spent millions of dollars lobbying against minimum wage increases. Perhaps the OP should direct his anger towards the real perpetrators.
We have 3 perpetrators of this system
1. the FED
2. The Government
3. Citizens who vote for the government and the FED to follow the rule of corruption.
Free market economics and constitutional government would have no lobbyist and government should follow constitutional law and the limited powers they have. They currently dont and havent for some time because some do gooder socialist and pro business corrupted republicans and democrats are running the country.

good point.
Gov Bill Haslam accepted 6 figures from lobbyists to keep wages at new VW plant down in Tenn. Tenn has a very high poverty rate, its so nice to see where the pigs feeding at the trough place their priorities. Quit the hypocrisy.
What's really sad is if a Republican wins the White House in 2016, these programs will go on, but we won't here a peep from right-wingers.
You will hear from me, left winger or right winger in the office means nothing if actions of tyranny are applied.
Some republicans and or right wingers will be quiet I will expect more and demand the authorization that already is in place via the constitution to start CUTTING!
