What can I say ....... I have compassion for hungry people and would like to see them be able to get a little supplement. You don't, it pains you to see even modest amounts of money go toward helping the poor get a little break, even though it's a relatively small part of the national budget. Some people simply don't care about the well-being of other humans.
I can only hope that my kind of voter beats your kind in the upcoming elections.
It has nothing to do with hungry people. Obama's Secretary of Agriculture said (on Morning Joe) they were deliberately trying to increase the number of people on food stamps to stimulate the economy. What he should have said was they were deliberately trying to increase the number of people on food stamps to stimulate Democrat voting.

So you think people with jobs, would not be able to get supplement?
Thats one of the dumbest responses I"ve ever read on city data.. Congragulations

The OP has absolutely nothing to do with "hungry people." Did you intentionally miss the point or did you seriously just miss the point?

Food stamps are a program designed to alleviate hunger. People without jobs, people who don't earn enough to buy food in addition to paying rent and the bills, the disabled on a tiny income ...... those are the ones it's meant for. It's been a long time since they were given for the asking, nowadays there are strict requirements.
The amount of job creation is moderate by all accounts, even by conservative economists, because of the long fiscal crisis. You can't go from zero to sixty in a second! I don't know what the food stamp increase is from, but I'm assuming the recipients are qualified for them, need them, and didn't just "sign up", as some intellectually-challenged persons seem to assume.

Why the food stamp program was designed is NOT THE TOPIC and no one is suggsting we do away with them.

A lot of those "hungry" people are buying cart loads of donuts, snackcakes, corn chips, cookies and pop with those food stamps. But the government figures it's "stimulating" Frito-Lay, Krispy Kreme, Nabisco, and Little Debbie.

Oh come on, you can do better than that. Present a "real" conspiracy to theorize about.... how about, why are gas prices falling so fast, right before the election? Could it be "Obammy is mipulatin them priezes to get feel good votin goin on?".
