And what is the percentage of abuse? What about those that are not abusing the system, should they too be punished because a small percentage is abusing the system?
That's the meat of it right there. Good Christian conservatives by and large want all forms of gov't aid abolished, and their proof is that these "welfare leeches" are abusing their gov't aid. So obviously the system is broken beyond repair and needs to be abolished so that this money too can go to the wealthiest of us who earned every penny single handedly.
The people in need are being punished! by the inefficiency of the government bureaucrats administering these helping hand programs. The net is full of abuse stories in every state.
Remember the taxpayers supply the government with the money they give away. It is not an infinite cash cow and there is a point at which the cow will require veterinary care just to survive.
The liberals are like invaders that steal natural resources to the point of depletion. The thought that conserving the source of their income so its lasts over the long term never occurred to the libs.
And what does this rant have to do with those in need of social programs?

Sounds like they need to drop the Christian part because that goes against Christian principles. They are just being good conservatives trying to screw over those that make the least to help those that make the most.
"NY food stamp recipients are shipping welfare-funded groceries to relatives in Jamaica, Dominican Republic and Haiti"
Our own IRS is shipping refund checks to scammers in other countries. I think we need a rule that no refund checks be mailed outside the USA. Any United States citizen should have access to a USA bank that can receive the money. Once that money goes outside the USA it is gone.
People! Every large system will have some percentage of fraud, evasion, or what have you. You can't eliminate it, and wouldn't want to once the cost of pursuing losses (including the cost of denials of services to legitimate recipients) began to exceed the amount that was lost to begin with. SNAP has low fraud rates, and most of what does occur is fraud by participating merchants, not recipients.

Just more proof that liberals are totally out of touch with reality and have absolutely no idea what Christians or Conservatives think about anything. Go ahead and continue your self righteous circle jerk fantasy while real world Christians and Conservatives go on with actually giving their own money to those in need.
No shame on welfare recipients 75% of which neither want training nor work and live better than me when I came here
You don't know poverty outside America so you think you are poor And I do know American "poor" very very well
300 lb shopping at 7 11 talking on an iPhone lol
Spend some time on an Indian (or Native American, if you prefer) reservation. Hopi Indians for example. Some of them are living in third world conditions, right here in America. Of course, I guess they deserve it. You know, occupying our land before we even knew it was ours......
