How about we start with handouts to Democrat's biggest campaign donors.

The Obama voters in Ohio who are fully capable of working should have their checks eliminated then go to their master Obama for a job - the economy is doing fine afterall.

Yeah, literally billions in (unneeded) corporate welfare has to come first.
Always cut the programs to the poor; makes sense, that is where the fat is (not).

Someone has to, fools like those who vote for 0bama don't give a **** that he just added 15 million people onto Food Stamps. I never hear people like you get upset about poverty in this nation being at a FIFTY YEAR HIGH!!!

SNAP Monthly Data

0bama added 420,863 NEW Food Stamp recipients from July 2012 to August 2012. Almost a half million people in one month. So much for the left claiming that the economy was improving, eh

Amen. I've been working and paying taxes for 39 years and have never received WIC, welfare, foodstamps or any other government subsidies. Between the cost of gas and food, these days I can barely afford to eat. They also need to end the wet foot dry foot policy and cut the foreign aid budgets. We can't continue to pretend that we can afford to feed and take care of the world.

Stunner… Most Illegal Immigrant Families Collect Welfare – Obama Wants to Up That Number

Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, July 16, 2012,


Surprise, surprise; Census Bureau data reveals that most U.S. families headed by illegal immigrants use taxpayer-funded welfare programs on behalf of their American-born anchor babies. Even before the recession, immigrant households with children used welfare programs at consistently higher rates than natives, according to the extensive census data collected and analyzed by a nonpartisan Washington D.C. group dedicated to researching legal and illegal immigration in the U.S. The results, published this month in a lengthy report, are hardly surprising.Basically, the majority of households across the country benefiting from publicly-funded welfare programs are headed by immigrants, both legal and illegal. States where immigrant households with children have the highest welfare use rates are Arizona (62%), Texas, California and New York with 61% each and Pennsylvania(59%).The study focused on eight major welfare programs that cost the government $517 billion the year they were examined. They include Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for the disabled, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), a nutritional program known as Women, Infants and Children (WIC), food stamps, free/reduced school lunch, public housing and health insurance for the poor (Medicaid).Food assistance and Medicaid are the programs most commonly used by illegal immigrants, mainly on behalf of their American-born children who get automatic citizenship.

This is the same president who is proud that he blows tens of billion of dollars on his green energy crony capitalism.

I guess they'll have to cut back on the sushi and go with canned crab or tuna instead.

What kind of help are we talking about here, and who's paying for it?
