11,629 more go on food stamps each day..

[jknowgood]

So is this because they need it or because they're lazy? Which angle are you going with today?

Angle?
I keep hearing the economy is improving......Everything is getting better
at the same time 11,629 more go on food stamps each day! I just don't
believe you can have both a growing economy and that type of increase in
food stamps. Some one is lying, and the increase in food stamps is not debatable.

The economy is improving.

And the people it has been improving for, aren't sharing.

Even though the people they don't share with, saved their butts.

And also provide them with income.

Tell me swallow, how are the people on food stamps helping the working?

What is it that you rethugs want poor people to do? If the Federal government doesn't help feed poor people, will you?

BUT just like the EIC, the poor people of the country did not pool their funds, hire a lobbyist and go to Washington to get their food stamps.

If you rethugs have a problem with SNAP, why are you not bitching about your Congresspeople? They are the ones that put the guidelines in place.

You don't want poor people to have access to food stamps, Congress can fix that. WHY don't they?
Why is Bohenor not making this a central issue. Cut the amount of money available for food stamps.
Rethugs have the majority in the House. Have they put a bill forth to cut SNAP? If not, why?

what a ridiculous response. Do you not see it is a sign of how the economy is doing? That is the whole point here.

Ridiculous? In what way? Have you ever read the elegibility that has to be met to recieve SNAP? There are income and asset limits. Did you know that? And as a sign of how the economy is doing. Of course it is. When you can work 40 hours a week for 9 bucks an hour, you will qualify for SNAP, more than likely.

And here Obama is, wanting to raise the minimum wage so that more people wouldn't qualify for SNAP, and the Rethugs (including you I guess) have gone bat shit crazy.

So if there is nothing to be done to raise the amount of money poor people are paid, then you have to reduce the number of people who qualify by reducing the amount of income that a person makes to be elegible for SNAP.

In other words, only the poorest of the poor could then qualify. Pick a number. Lets say anyone with an income over 10k a year with 3 kids DO NOT QUALIFY FOR SNAP. Think you would go along with that? Is that poor enough for you to receive our largesse.

And Yes, Congress could fix that. Why don't they? They sure as fuk can't fix the job situation. Just make poor people poorer. That's cool. Right?

once again what a ridiculous response. You are ranting and raving in the wrong direction. What you should be doing is ranting and raving that the government make it easier for business to do business, then we can see higher wages, more employed and people actually drop off the rolls.

oh, and by the way,

Households may have $2,000 in countable resources, such as a bank account, or $3250 in countable resources if at least one person is age 60 or older, or is disabled. However, certain resources are NOT counted, such as a home and lot, the resources of people who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI), the resources of people who receive Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF, formerly AFDC), and most retirement (pension) plans.

The procedures for handling vehicles are determined at the state level. States have the option of substituting the vehicle rules used in their TANF assistance programs for SNAP vehicle rules when it results in a lower attribution of household assets. A number of States exclude the entire value of the household’s primary vehicle as an asset. In States that count the value of vehicles, the fair market value of each licensed vehicle that is not excluded is evaluated. Currently 39 States exclude the value of all vehicles entirely. 11 States totally exclude the value of at least one vehicle per household. The 3 remaining states exempt an amount higher than the SNAP’s standard auto exemption (currently set at $4,650) from the fair market value to determine the countable resource value of a vehicle. For more information concerning State specific vehicle policy, check with the State agency that administers the SNAP program.

So those living on a really good pension do not have to include what that amount is, nor if they have a lot (land) do they need to include that as an asset.

And a family of four can first deduct their housing cost, medical expense and child care expenses as well as 20% as an earned income credit, to come to their net income, which then can be as much as$1921 per month. Now tell me, how much is that family of four possibly really making, being able to deduct all of that?

STATE OF THE UNION: 11,629 MORE GO ON FOOD STAMPS EACH DAY...

With that many people collecting food Stamps, how are things getting any better in this economy?

So is this because they need it or because they're lazy? Which angle are you going with today?

Maybe it's because the rich has fucked this country, are too stupid to realized they are the ones who fucked this country, and continue to do so. Well at least as long as the Republicans monopolize the House.

Ok, so they DO need it? The poor aren't lazy? 47% of the country aren't moochers? These people are in fact struggling is what you are saying?

Just want to be sure which way the wind is blowing this week for you.

Hence the wisdom of "trickle down" economics gets another nail in it's coffin.

Ahh, you're right. Lets just make the move to socialism already so we can all get food stamps.

OK, the term 'socialism' can be translated to "I am a dumb **** who has not gone to a day of college."

I would be very impressed if you learned to type coherent sentences.

A homeless man can make roughly $100 a day on a semi-busy intersection. At least that's what I've read from people actually trying it. Not to mention they can get free meals at the local homeless shelters.

So no, they don't seem too bad off to me.

If they have it so great, why don't you do it? Become homeless, live off food stamps, get your Obamaphone. Live the good life!

You idiots have no clue what the real world is like.

Because I don't consider mooching off the system to be the "good life."

Of course not, but mooching off the middle class is being smart. (Actually sucking the life out of the middle class is a short term luxury.)

It is helping the 'job creators'. They don't pay their workers enough to feed themselves and their families so the workers are helped out by the government which is funded on the backs of the middle class.

So FORCE those fuckers to share.. those ones you don't like... right?? You know what is enough for anyone... you know when freedom should stop... When you want or need something at their expense, right??

**** you, asswipe...

The Community Reinvestment Act caused this economic mess.....a program rooted in class envy.

Um, no it didn't. How many times does this have to be debunked until you moronic right-wingers get it through your thick skulls.
