I heard another leftie say that Food Stamps are good for the economy. (generations, Baby Boomers)

I think that going from discussing food stamps as "stimulus" to accusing others of "sociopathy" and wishing starvation on children is the kind of reflexive hatefulness that is the EPITOME of liberal mental and moral breakdown.

Thanks for yet another hateful example.

Also, consider this: Maybe I would spend that money on charity. Maybe the food would get to the same recipient, but it would be food from a food bank, therefore instead of the $374 (or whatever) being funneled through the govt bureaucracy and the recipient ending up with approx $250 of food stamps, they would get the ENTIRE $374 in food, because I donated that sum directly to the food bank.

The other difference this represents is the fact that my donating that money was my CHOICE, not confiscation.

If only I'd thought to add something like "moral implications aside" to my posts. Wait. I did.

I would not expect anything less from the leftie liberals. They are the give me party. They expect the government to support them.

Of course the food stamp program is stimulative. They are huge part of the grocery business. The grocers (job creators love the food stamp program.

Why do you think Yum Brands spent millions lobbying to get access to the program? It ain't rocket science.

That won't work. Companies just wouldn't hire people then and might even take their companies overseas.

you started a thread about whether food stamps were good for the economy, not about whether I have kids or not.

Giant welfare programs and more and more people having children they can never afford so they can live off food stamps, WIC and free government housing is running our country into the ground.

When the whole thing collapses, then what? We've got people pouring over the border to have children here that allow them to stay and access all the many welfare programs, the USA is becoming the flop house of the world, at some point we will not be able to afford the many trillions dollars more to keep providing the nice free comfortable life to so many.

In many parts of the country now, more babies are born to welfare mothers than are born to working parents.

So you do not want to pay a liveable wage but when they do not have enough to buy food you do not want them to have food stamps? You can't have it both ways.
