I have to wonder about the basic morality of a society that makes working for survival the be all and end all of an individual's life.
I hear ya, Greg. Let's all just do whatever the hell we want and wait for someone else to give us all food, clothing, and shelter paid for with the money they earned. /SMH
More republican compassion...hey maybe this should be the republicans candidate in 2016!
At some point...money runs out. What will happen to our poor when the recent impoverished guests streaming into the USA need food stamps? I suspect their needs will come at the expense of poor Americans. Why don't you go down to a shelter and pass out sandwiches? I predicted this.......
If they can't afford food what makes you think they can afford to move? MAYBE Maine government should help these people find work so they wouldn't need SNAP.
Where do you propose they find work for these people? There are few Mc Jobs to go around right now.
Then train them. I did training through the state...took a few months to even start but I paid nothing...I became a tax payer afterwords and it was repaid that way...
And the HELP goes on and on and on and on, And on and on and on and on, And on and on. And on and on and on. People are so helpless. Dare stop it and liberals scream like a bunch of wet cats.
The liberal loons all start tearing their hair out a year before an election. It will be all about the evil republicans cutting this and that. Will they ever find some new talking points. Yep, rich against the poor....womens right to choose zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, equal pay zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, Which reminds me...why couldn't equal pay happen in the White House? Hmmmmmm?
These are non issues...including food stamps for all....I worry about ISIS and other terrorists groups ramping up. Without a country, food stamps matter little.

They need to get off their asses and go get the training. Nobody should be holding their hands.
Maine, like most states has chosen not to mandate biometric ID. They are unwilling to take action that would make in- state employment of the undocumented more challenging for employers, small business. 78% of small business has no Payroll. I wonder what percentage of them employ undocumented?
The undocumented don't take the jobs of the documented. Rather, The US people recruit and employ the undocumented. If the employment of the undocumented were subject to very serious consequences, the undocumented would likely return home and stay home.
Instead, of blaming the root cause of illegal immigration- employment, it's easier to blame people who risk everything to enter the US to work.
And just who has the presidents ear? The GOP? Large employers.
I have to wonder about the basic morality of a society that makes working for survival the be all and end all of an individual's life. That is the society of money and completely devoid of any compassion for others along with worship of those that do not need to work because of their wealth. Why is a jobless peasant an object of derision while a rich person living on an annuity a object of envy? Neither are creating any wealth. Both are equally useless.
Working for survival is a result of us being nothing more than animals. If we don't work, we don't survive. It's really that simple.
How "moral" is it to decide you don't want that pesky little "eating and shelter" thing to be the be all and end all of your life. Because you still have to eat, which means you take someone else's property to support yourself. By force. Again, how moral is that exactly?
Completely devoid of any compassion? Hardly. And the liberals that are the ones that are screaming the loudest about cutting back on food stamps are also the ones that donate less than conservatives when it comes to charity. There's your "morality". As well as your "hypocrisy".
