Feeding people is cheaper than jailing them.
What's even cheaper is giving them a tax cut so they can afford their own food, and not taking away their motivation to work by just blindly throwing money at them.
If you think it is a breeze to get food stamps or any kind of assistance then you have never been anywhere near anyone who tried. If the hoops these people have to jump though to get help is blindly throwing money then I wonder what your criteria would be. Of course there is abuse but for the most part you have to leave your pride at the door and be able to prove you have nothing to your name to even get on the waiting list.
So it's hard to get assistance is your argument, right within a thread that talks about and shows the ever-growing list of people who get assistance? Okie dokie
I grew up in the inner city, rest assured i remember the mile long lines at the beginning of the month at the grocery store.
I live in Appalachia, the crap these conservative assholes make poor people do to get a mere $50-$100 dollars a month in food stamps is shameful. The numbers of people getting assistance is not growing because of some silly conspiracy theory about liberals trying to push some agenda, it's because the working class has been abandoned to shift for themselves without jobs or opportunity.
