This trend will certainly continue during President Obamuppet's administration. No end in sight.

Gotta keep them anchor babies in tortillas!

Proves we need a manadory spay and neutering program. Those who will be non productive need to be thinned.

The maximum monthly award in my state is $200 for one person, and it accumulates from month to month. In order to use all that up in one month, you'd have to eat steak and truffles all the time. Also, the news people rant on about all the empty food pantries, which they shouldn't need at all, if there's all that food stamp money being doled out.

The U.S. will never solve many of our problems if we refuse to hold people responsible for their actions. We reward people irresponsibility instead of holding responsible. Oh you have children, you can't them? Well here is food stamp, housing, etc… to take care of them. No it is not your fault that you had all these children; don't worry we, society, will take care of them for you and this is done thru overtaxing the productive people. Instead of telling them you have 2 yrs to get yourself on track, after that we will not help you and it does not matter how many additional kids you have (the 2 yrs begins the day you have the first child). As to the children if you can not take care of them, we will take them away from you or we will implement force birth control (I know extreme but this maybe the only way to get people back to personal responsibility; I find it acceptable if your private action affects the public--to me this is similar to locking a murdering for life (we take away your right to create life as we take the murderer’s right to live free in society)).

What happened to "ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country?"

I feel for those children born to these irresponsible parents because it is highly likely most will repeat their irresponsible parent’s behavior.

I am for helping people who are temporary unemployed or had unforeseen crisis that has left them in need of the public help but I am not for helping those who refuse to take care of themselves or are not willing to get a job or giving birth to multiple children they can not afford.

Government social programs approved by society should only be used to get to the next level, it should not be abused. Many such myself are outrage not because we don’t believe we should help people in need but are outrage because it has become acceptable to abuse the system and public and personal responsibilities is no longer asked of us (only if you are not “rich”). We want to help the people in need but do not want to help those who are able but refuse to help themselves because the gov’t will do it. Also because if you have a different point of view or solutions from “main Stream”—today that is the liberal view point, you are considered crazy, fringe, uncaring, racist, bigot, stupid, selfish etc….

Esorcire- the paper food stamps are long gone, they all use the EBT cards that look like debit cards. It was supposed to make them feel less embarrassed at the register. Are you kidding? The problem with the majority of these people is that they have NO shame whatsoever. Be irresponsible, crank out litters of children with various baby daddies and then walk around with that big attitude that the world owes you everything. A lot of the reason you see that, along with the general coarsening of society, is that people have no sense of shame regarding their behavior anymore.

caught this farce on Comedy Central last night, from Mike Judge, who made Office Space & King of the Hill, among others.

It really spoke to root of the entitlement mindset & how those who feel entitlement is their right are those with double digit IQs.

You need to get with the times. Don't they have a card now? I havent seen the paper food stamps in at least a decade.

Oh and regarding food stamps. They should have a special register that will take moocher money. The store should only check them out if there is nobody with cash or check waiting to check out. After all, isn't a producer's time more valuable than a moocher's?

At least the people on food stamps should have to thank everybody in line and the clerk too for paying for their "free" food.

One last thing, when I was a checker I always noticed that the deadbeats on food stamps always had money for beer and smokes.

This reminds me of the guy in Cobb County who was bitching last year because, when Obama added $25 a week to his unemployment payments (non-refusable, mind you, so the guy HAD to accept it), it pushed the man's income TOO HIGH to receive his $650 PER MONTH FOOD STAMPS. The guy was MAD because he was getting too much money to qualify for food stamps. What a country! lol.... GOD BLESS LYNDON JOHNSON AND THE GREAT SOCIETY!!!! ROFLMAO!!

With all the concern about "childhood obesity", has anyone done a study to see if a disproportionate amount of children on food stamps are obese? Just a thought.
