These ungrateful food stamp collectors are complaining that they aren't getting enough handouts. None of these people look like they're going hungry to me. Especially not the one in the Armani shirt.

The first woman figured that having Five kids when she most likely couldn't afford it was okay!

The second guy whines about having to eat noodles because the Taxpayers aren't handing out enough money.

NONE of these people or any of the millions of others .. receiving "Free" Government handouts ever bother with the S part in SNAP!

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program

Foodstamps were never meant to be a program where the Working tax payers were supposed to completely fund your diets!

I say .. Back to the days of Government cheese and powdered milk!

Get rid of food stamps and use that money for soup kitchens to provide low cost healthy meals and at the same time job training.

Lol, come on out here to Las Vegas where you'll routinely see women with five kids in tow paying for groceries with EBT and hopping into brand new SUV's. It's a joke.

And not for nothing, but schools now do free breakfast and free lunch, so all these people have to do is fix a dinner and maybe a snack. Many schools will also send kids home with backpacks of food for the weekend, so how in the hell do they not have enough money?

We need to go back to the good old days where if you didn't work, you didn't eat.

Armani's story that she doesn't eat is a hard sell. She looks quite healthy and $925 a month should be able to keep food on the table especially since the children eat free at school.

$925 a month?! Christ on a cross, most working people don't have a food budget like that and their kids aren't getting fed for free at school.

It's hard to believe they are struggling with cart fulls of meat, processed ready to eat food, and juice boxes. Seems like they need to learn how to shop better.

And yeah, none of them look like they're going hungry. :/

Bad idea, you would have the same incompetent and corrupt government administer those programs and besides, stealing money from peter to train and feed paul is not charity, its robbery.
And "Job training" for which jobs? Do you think a handfull of politicians would know what careers thousands of people should be trained in?
The correct answer is to end all such programs and let a free market do the rest.
