Welcome to The Nanny State - $70B Spent on Food Stamps (unemployment, Barack Obama)

[steven_h]

Food stamps jumped from $30B yr. in 2007 to $72B 2011. Social programs are wildly successful and the new investment everyone is forced to participate in (one way or the other.)

Another great success for the Food Stamp President, Barack Obama. Thanks for the "Change".

Food stamp rolls climb 150% as unemployment drops, the recession ends, and Obama turns around the crashing economy.

Lucy, something isnt adding up here...

They could rightfully complain about spending on old people as well.

72 Billion? That's 10% of the Defense budget.

Money well spent, compared to that bloated immoral criminal amount of Defense spending.


Is it like a requirement of right wingers not to be able to prioritize or put things into perspective?

The government having to feed people is a symptom of the state of the poor economy, not the cause of it.

Fraud is not money well spent. Encouraging people who are not truly in need to enroll for food stamps (example: Obama administration's push to enroll college students) is NOT money well spent.

Wow, a few minutes ago you were arguing to support the $50B in medicare cuts in Obamacare bill, now you are arguing that $72B in spending isnt enough. Flip flop much?
