Why are republicans so stupid when it comes to Food Stamps?

[JustAnotherNut]

.ok lets keep it simple then...mandatory drug testing for SNAP

Right Tom, they are already so poor they are on food stamps but have hundreds of dollars for drugs. Aside from what those drug tests would cost the taxpayer, any job they apply to is already drug testing them. You obviously haven't a clue what you're talking about. You need to be dirt poor living on food stamps for six months to find out.

They ain't dirt poor. If they are on Snap and have kids under 5 they are also getting WIC...kids over 5 free school lunches...free day care aid...Medicaid... free bus passes....government help with utilities and housing. Plus whatever their wages are. They eat better than the folks footing the bill too give them their government handouts.

But would you be willing to go thru the same kind of personal hell that got them there in the first place??? Seems you have it rather nice from your throne that keeps you above such hardships.

Been there done that. And I know the ways these people are instructed to work the system by case workers.

I worked my way up and into a position of self reliance...even as a single mother with 2 kids and a dead beat ex who refused to pay child support.

Nice try though.

They do not get free utilities or housing and I'm not 100% about bus passes.

There is subsidized housing but the waiting list is 2-3 years, maybe more, unless it's emergency and even that can take awhile

Utilities are not free, nor are they subsidized on a regular basis.....only for emergency shut offs and those may be limited.

Bus passes are used for obtaining required info, medical services, possibly job search &/or limited transportation. Not for daily shopping or travel.

Daycare is only available after you start a job, but not for job search. Nor is it free. You pay a small portion at first and depending on income, you pay more. Eventually paying all of it.

I commend you for your strength & fortitude to be able to rise above it. Yet what works for you doesn't always work for everyone.

I too have been there & done that and though it's been many years, I've also worked in a local welfare office both in clerical and as a case worker. Everything is not always as it appears from a distance.

Debunking the "Conservatives Give More to Charity" Myth


A recent MIT study countered it finding:

In this paper, we first show that conservatives and liberals are equally generous in their donation habits. This pattern holds at both the individual and state level, and contradicts the conventional wisdom that partisans differ in their generosity. Second, we show that while levels of giving are roughly equivalent, liberals are much more likely to donate to secular organizations, and conservatives are more likely to donate to religious causes, especially their own congregation.


However, there is another issue to address which is: what to count as charity? All of these studies use the IRS definition of "charity" rather than the biblical definition. In the bible, God defines charity as giving to the needy without receiving, or expecting to receive, anything in return. Most "charity" conservatives give is in the form of tithes to their church. The vast majority of that money goes to salaries and building expenses -- for people and buildings that provide the giver with services. A tiny, miniscule fraction goes to the poor and needy.

So, in actuality, it seems that liberals give quite a bit more to biblical charity than conservatives.

You are going to have to document that claim. The vast majority of the charitable contributions the right make have to do with their church. Contributing to the building fund for a new fellowship hall with basketball court and swimming pool is not helping the poor, it is helping themselves.

How Donald Trump retooled his charity to spend other people’s money

Donald Trump was in a tuxedo, standing next to his award: a statue of a palm tree, as tall as a toddler. It was 2010, and Trump was being honored by a charity — the Palm Beach Police Foundation — for his “selfless support” of its cause.

His support did not include any of his own money.

Instead, Trump had found a way to give away somebody else’s money and claim the credit for himself.

Trump had earlier gone to a charity in New Jersey — the Charles Evans Foundation, named for a deceased businessman — and asked for a donation. Trump said he was raising money for the Palm Beach Police Foundation.

The Evans Foundation said yes. In 2009 and 2010, it gave a total of $150,000 to the Donald J. Trump Foundation, a small charity that the Republican presidential nominee founded in 1987.

Then, Trump’s foundation turned around and made donations to the police group in South Florida. In those years, the Trump Foundation’s gifts totaled $150,000.

Trump had effectively turned the Evans Foundation’s gifts into his own gifts, without adding any money of his own.


On the night that he won the Palm Tree Award for his philanthropy, Trump may have actually made money. The gala was held at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, and the police foundation paid to rent the room.

LMAO. Those food pantries and soup kitchens, they are funded as a "feel good measure" and account for only a tiny percentage of a typical congregation's spending. They almost certainly spend more on the parsonage and probably spend more on sending their members off to training seminars than they do helping the poor. It is a joke.

And as to the "whining about everyone else", seems you and others in this very thread have shown that to apply to the RIGHT. After all, you guys are the ones whining about what items are being purchased by food stamps. Here is a thought, mind your own damn business and worry about the groceries YOU BUY instead of being consumed about what everyone else is doing.
