You might have to stock up on bags of dry lentils instead of frozen shrimp. Fucking parasites. [/quote] This parasite does NOT get food stamps, however, a bag of frozen shrimp for $5 feeds my husband and I, over rice, for two days. I switched from steak to more shrimp in order to save money. Try again. Furthermore, there are needy people out there I'd rather see eat, than to have my tax dollars go to wars, bogus wars, etc. My son is a single father of two little ones and he works hard for a living. He needs the little food stamps he gets for them to get by. Doesn't drink, doesn't do drugs. SO WHY DONT YOU SHUT THER HELL UP. LABELING ALL WHO GET HELP A PARASITE IS INHUMAN AND UNAMERICAN, JERK. [/quote] You're right, not all who get assistance are deadbeats. I'll bet that your son will relinquish benefits as soon as he's able. There is no shame in getting a leg up to feed your kids. The lifestyle mooches, on the other hand, are an entirely different story. I agree about the shrimp, too. Cheaper than beef in a lot of cases and we're landlocked here! I cook a lot of shrimp...mmmmmm. [/quote] Yep, those large shrimp bags at Walmart are pretty awesome. I hate their meat, though. Oh I'm glad you understand. Not everyone is a parasite. :hf: [/quote] I know...what the hell does Walmart do to their meat? I bought a couple of steaks one time and I swear they were inedible. [/quote]

I wonder how much she's being paid to put this fear-mongering out there. If they cut benefits completely, there would definitely be rioting. This, not so much IMO.
My favorite quote from this article:
Purvis added that cutting food stamps was “not even good business sense,” because each dollar of food stamps infuses over $1.70 of spending into the economy.
