The Congressional Budget Office said Thursday that 45 million people in 2011 received Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits, a 70% increase from 2007. It said the number of people receiving the benefits, commonly known as food stamps, would continue growing until 2014.
I guess to the Left and dems, Food Stamps are as stimulative as UE benefits....right?
May you someday go to bed hungry night after night, and not by choice, but because you cannot afford to buy enough food.....and you will learn what real nausea is all about. Talk is cheap.
No, these conservatives think it is really funny when people starve to death, especially if it is a woman of a minority.
The truth is that fraud and waste are not rampant in this system. These claims are just conservative lies designed to make people hate poor people instead of our wealthy oppressors.
I say we investigate the wealthy and take what they don’t need of their hands, first!
Yep. SS has a tiny 1% overhead/administrative costs.
Right wingers want it gone because a well run gvt program embarrasses them.

Let me reacquaint you with this tidbit from the CBO link:
Quote:
The third set of approaches—changing the administrative costs of the program—would be another way to modify SNAP spending. For example, a policy that required states to pay a penalty to the federal government for all erroneous payments to SNAP participants—and not just a portion of erroneous payments above some threshold, as under current policy—would have generated nearly $2.5 billion in fiscal year 2010, CBO estimates.
Perhaps you can extrapolate for us how you derived that FWAB isn't rampant.
Sanrene who are you going to vote for to make things better with food stamps?
To lessen the costs?
Just a name will do.
I'll research their proposal.
I'll hold my breath.
Romney, of course.
How about asking able-bodied people that get food stamps to EARN the gift from the taxpayers?
