As for people selling food stamps, couldn't you just print them out with a name and birth date and then do an ID check at the register?

In Louisiana, foodstamps are issued on a type of debit card now. That significantly cut down much of the fraud.

I'm libertarian/liberal/democratic, but I agree.

Feeding people for free is why people don't wanna work to become better individuals.

Yes, it's a good program for the underprivileged, but many lazy ****ers who are physically fit and can apply for jobs are taking advantage of it.

I appreciate you honesty.

Seems your liberal counterparts like Rob alienate you in this thread when you speak against the group think of the party.

Seems like you're implying that people on assistance who could work, would work, if they couldn't get soda, cookies and candy for free anymore.

No. What I'm saying is that people who don't work should settle for base foods. It makes no sense that the government should feed them candy, sodas and energy drinks.

Abolish these and you'll see an increase in the demand of jobs.

you should have responded with this:

On top of that I don't think that the government should distribute refined sugar and caffeine to the people as a substitute for food.

Does that make more sense to you?

i wasn't disagreeing with you, just pointing out that you didn't stick to your guns... but i would agree that govt supplied food should be sustenance based if only for the fact that it would make the country healthier and alleviate some of the medical costs we get strapped with. though i do think maybe we should feed poor/lazy people caffeine in the form of coffea/tea.

Poor people are poor in America cause they refuse to work. The opportunities are endless here. Legal Immigrants come here and become millionaires. Why? Cause they work and don't sit on their asses with government hand outs. How hard is it to wake up and go to work. I mean really?

Oh, so AsbestosFlaygon is a liberal and Time Immemorial is a Democrat. Because saying things makes you them, regardless of actions and opinions. I, for example, am the pope.

I get up and go to work 7 days a week, working two different jobs (averaging 60--65 hours a week) and I barely get by between rent, food, college loans, etc so I can totally understand that there are people out there who may be put in a situation where they need assistance. Not everyone is born with the same advantages.

Thats simply impossible. You are either living over your head in debt, rent, and personal expenses or vastly underpaid. Like I said early it is very easy to get a job starting at $19.00. If that is not enough money to get by, I dunno what is.

It's impossible to live in poverty with the minimum wage in the US.
Even the lowest income earner SHOULD be able to buy his/her NEEDS easily, considering the US has one of the lowest prices for consumable goods like foods, even with tex.

Agreed. He is either just lying/trolling, which working 7 days a week sounds like it. Literally its impossible to work 60-70 hours a week and not have a day off. If he was working that much he would not have any time to spend any money on anything besides gas to get to work, food and bills. With all those hours and over time and he cant get by. Total crap.

I call bullshit.

At one point in my life, I worked 60 hour work weeks. My average pay was $16 an hour due to the overtime. I had more money than I could possibly spend without blowing it on silly things like expensive mid-life crisis cars.

I just can't buy the idea that someone is barely able to pay their basic bills, in the US, working 60 hour work weeks. Even in Manhattan, as long as you are willing to have 1 roommate, you can live off of 60 hour work-weeks and still have change. 🙂
