Yes, there is a great deal of demonizing going on about this subject.
It seems a lot of ignorant hateful wicked judgemental misguided nazi-esque people who have never experienced job loss with subsequent low pay, or disasters in their lives, or ill health or disability after having children; are on here and elsewhere, demonizing those who have had a hard time in life after they had children and lost their good jobs or their health.
In case you missed it, the caseworker said that the irresponsible types are the few, and the exception, not the majority of people using foodstamps.
Let us hope that you who are on here trying to kill your good neighbors (yes, you are callous uncaring cold hearted murderers at heart: you would remove necessary food and sustenance from struggling citizens til they die)-- let us hope that YOU lose your jobs, your health , your life savings ,and your relatives' help. Let us hope you lose your home, and all assets, and never hold a job above minimum wage again. Let us hope you have disastrous traumatic injuries so that you cannot work nor hardly walk, and are left to starve on the sidewalk without a roof over your head. May your children also go without any help whatsoever, due to your disability and losses.
Wow! Such hate! How can you spew so much hate and live with yourself? Why do you feel the need to hate people enough to damn their children?
I don't think I've ever seen so much hate in one person. I'm glad you don't live near me.
You have it backwards. Those who enslave people to government are the hateful ones. I help people in need quite often. I help my friends and relatives and am quite confident that they would help me if needed.
It's unfortunate that you have nobody that would help you. Pitiful. You must be the "undeserving, hateful, unthinking self.." since you have nobody that would help you other than the government.
This is a good point. Just because people are not in favor of govt services of this kind doesn't mean they think people should be left hanging or without.
One has to be careful about judging and jumping to conclusions. The whole reason the govt offers services in the first place is to acquire more wealth, just like any other corporation. However, there is a bit more to this subject and most may not be aware of aspects not commonly discussed in MSM.
That response was to a poster who was essentially saying that a mother and her children should be kicked onto the freezing streets to starve. You think opinions like that don't deserve condemnation?
I saw no such statement. Condemnation serves no one imo. One can make healthy choices without the perceived need to condemn. There are always consequences for any action. Plenty of condemnation on this planet as it is.

Exactly!
We have been conditioned to think that the only source of a safety net is the government and that's unfortunate, wasteful and enslaving.
No, the post said nothing of the sort. You lie! Your lie is so bald faced that you have lost all credibility.
Nobody said a mother and her children should be kicked into the freezing street to starve. Your narrow mind cannot see beyond government programs that enslave people. There are many many alternatives to the nanny state that help people in need. Wake up.
Really? So what would your alternative be for this people?
Not with this gang in the white house.
They'd rather save money by eliminating the military.
A 5.7% cut in the military which is larger than the next 7 largest militaries combined is not exactly "eliminating the military" as you put it.
