PolitiFact | Newt Gingrich says you can use food stamps to get to Hawaii


None of these idiots will draw any intelligent voters with lies like this.


One in FIVE families in this country receiving food stamps--and Newt Gingrich labeled Barack Obama as the Food Stamp President and that "bothers" you---:cuckoo:

But his blame of Obama for it has already been proven to be way off

PolitiFact | Newt Gingrich defends calling Barack Obama "food stamp president"

You attempt at a red herring has failed, Newt's claim is false, very false. Food stamp cards can't be used for just anything.
 
PolitiFact | Newt Gingrich defends calling Barack Obama "food stamp president"

Obviously, the rise in food stamps is a direct consequence of the serious recession that began in December 2007 -- more than a year before Obama took office. It’s hard to determine how much blame Obama deserves compared to his predecessor, President George W. Bush, but the experts we spoke to, conservative and liberal, agree that Obama inherited a serious economic situation.

Part of the reason it’s tricky to divvy up blame is that there is typically a lag time before an upturn in the broader economy begins to show up in decreased SNAP usage. The monthly growth has slowed over the last three months, and if current trends continue, it could start declining in a month or two.

It’s also impossible to know how high SNAP usage would have gone had the Republicans, rather than Obama, shaped policy in 2009 and 2010. However, the fact remains that SNAP usage has continued to climb every single month of the Obama presidency despite some signs of an economic recovery. So Gingrich’s charge cannot simply be dismissed out of hand.

One last point: The number of food stamp beneficiaries had started to head upward under Bush, partly because of more aggressive efforts to get eligible Americans to apply for benefits, and partly because of changes in the rules that had the effect of broadening eligibility. The experts we spoke to agreed that both policies began under Bush but were retained by Obama.

And the reason our economy is in the crapper?

The Current ReaganBush Debt is:
$14,182,295,222,725.30
which means that in a total of 20 years,
these three presidents have led to the creation of
93.81%
of the entire national debt.


Prove that's wrong. Prove that President Obama is responsible for more than 8%.

What Newt stupidly bragged about, being part of the tinkle down debacle, was the start of this mess. Sorry pubs and bags but its the truth and you know it.

The difference between Newt and our president is that Obama is working to improve the lot of all of America while Newt is owned, lock, stock and barrel by the 1%.

Millionaires qualify for food stamps these days as long as they can show they have little or no income, author and lecturer James Bovard says.

Thirty five states have scrapped asset requirements, which means almost anyone can buy groceries under the auspices of the United States Department of Agriculture's program for hungry Americans.

"The Obama administration is far more enthusiastic about boosting food-stamp enrollment than about preventing fraud," Bovard writes in a Wall Street Journal column.

"Thanks in part to vigorous federally funded campaigns by nonprofit groups, the government's AmericaCorps service program, and other organizations urging people to accept government handouts, the number of food-stamp recipients has soared to 44 million from 26 million in 2007, and costs have more than doubled to $77 billion from $33 billion."

Food stamps, known officially as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), have been the target of abuse even before Obama took office; the number of food-stamp recipients on George W. Bush's watch rose by more than 50 percent, Bovard says.


And here's the author's key point and this should scare the crap out of anyone.

Plus enforcement is need, as only 40 inspectors oversee almost 200,000 merchants who accept food stamps nationwide.

40 freaking inspectors? You're begging for abuse.

What they don't want changed is that income and wealth are taxed differently and wealth is harder to track.

The system is rigged and the pubs and bags don't know they're just dupes.

Bullshit... utter bullshit!

All a food stamp recipient needs to do is find a willing accomplice to pay them .60 cents on the dollar, boom.... drug addict has cash!
You really think anyone checks to see who is using the card at the grocery store????
