food stamps need to be ended NOW, let them starve [srs] story inside

[Hendlefe]

Food stamps are good for the economy. For every dollar we put into food stamps, we get more out of it. Just google "Food Stamp Economy". Newt Gringrich doesn't agree to this though. It's like research money from the NIH. it stimulates the economy.

I say we keep food stamps since it helps the economy and complain about some other wasteful ways government spends our money.. like bridges to nowhere

[cupcakekid]

why dont u live with ur fam/friends

My school is 40 plus mind away from either of my parents place. There are no real schools any closer. I have a roomate who shares rent and bills. I also do not have cable as to ease the financial burden. Kinda hard for the social life
But whatever, the tv programs are all garbage and the news is just fluff and fear mongering

[ND32]

Ill counter op by telling my story and id appreciate a response op.

I am a 24 year old college student. I have a 3.8 gpa, work 2 jobs and volunteer at a shelter. I have been on my own since 17 with little to no financial backing by my parents. I am a law abiding citizen and drive a piece of **** car. My monthly expenses of necesseities total around 1200 dollars. That excludes food. I might make a g a month or a lil more. I have been in soup lichens and to salvation armys at the asscrack of dawn getting there before food runs out. I am also taking government loans out to pay for education as I am not rich. As a student who has no financial backing and a year or so from entering a phd program. What am I supposed to do?

Blame your parents. Go to private entities for assistance (i.e. church or family)

It's not my fault your parents were poor

i work at a grocery store and some dumb Bish comes in and starts comapling about food stamps because "they only give her 50 dollars a month, how the hell am i suppose to live off that they need to give me more its not enough" she said

wtf u lazy peace of **** go die i would love 2 see u starve to death, go get a job u fukin bum

then i kid u not, i saw another lady use foodstamps then get into a brand new cadilacc cts wtf, [srs] do they even do back ground checks on theses people

I usually think the same thing when I see someone use food stamps (I'm a cashier at a grocery store). It's so hard not to judge people using food stamps, they are mostly fat pieces of **** with crap tattoos, buying alcohol with their spare money, and they complain about ****ing everything.

most of theses people are so primitive they cant even figure out how to use the card, u have to do it for them cuz there so dam lazy and retarded

[JerseyTriad]

I would not hesitate to punch anyone straight in the mouth for abusing food stamps(srs) Then I'd reach in their wallet and take all of their cash....It's my money anyway lulz

[devincanada]

I'm almost 30 and I agree that food stamps should be virtually non-existent.

Your point?

age: almost 30

[HulkHagen]

Used to manage a gas station and yeah, food stamps make me rage nine times out of ten. There are people out there who actually need them and use them but most of the people who have them are basically worthless or are abusing the system and don't need them at all.

There was an older couple who spent probably $200 a week or more on scratch off lottery tickets and also went to dog tracks and other gambling places and spent insane amounts of money on this crap, and paid for their food with food stamps, it boggled my mind... I was literally working to pay for these people to go to the dog track.

I've also known of plenty of people who trade their food stamps to other people for cash so they can buy cigarettes, beer, drugs, etc... bunch of low lifes.

[thefloopist]

I think for every asshat who abuses them, there are probably a hundred that really need them for a short period in their lives. I wenr on food stamps once for about three months, and they really helped me get through a rough period. I have no problem paying taxes for stuff like that. Paying taxes for wars on the other hand, makes me rage. And it should make you rage too op. Why not step back and really think about things every now and then.

You sir, went full retard. Your an idiot. You realize many disabled people are on FS right? So that girl you saw in the CTS? Yeah, most likely she was shopping for someone else.

And 50 isn't **** for food for a month. So under privileged people UNLIKE yourself should just work minimum wage and starve yeah? Your a dick dude. I know your only two years younger, but grow the fck up

[Acevedo85]

havent read thread yet but 90% of people on food stamps are nothing buy lazy

and unemployment needs to be cut from 99 weeks to something less. your not trying hard enough if you go 99 weeks unemployed

I see friends on ******** all the time, Literally saying "haha just got my free unemployment check this is easy! you guys working have it all wrong"

OMFG ****ING THIS

I want to kill when i read **** like this

no wonder this country is going staright to hell...we have a population full of lazy bitches

[tazman7]

Bitch in front of me at the store yesterday had her cart full of steak, shrimp, lobster, tv dinners, gatorade and bottled water. Total came to like $130. She whips out her link card and the cashier says $60 something dollars? I start laughing and say "can you believe that ****?? I am applying for one of those cards" She gave me the meanest look I have ever seen and I told her to get a ****ing job. (srs) The ****ing monkey can start eating Ramen noodles and drinking from the creek if all I care. Dont worry though, she was pregnant so she can make more money in the near future

I am seriously going to apply for one and when I get denied im going to call and complain.

[ryan36_1]

Occam's razor says you are wrong.

[cupcakekid]

and whats your jobs ?

and u never waste a cent on partyin or smoking dope?

Delievery driver at pizza joint and cashier/ ass't manager at restaurant.

I don't take drugs as im on several medications that would have adverse reactions with drugs. Most months I might have 20 bucks left over. I will use that to pay off credit card debt on top of minimum payments im making

For drinks, I don't drink. Grandpa and uncles are alcoholics. I drink once maybe every other month and for free as my bud is a bartender

[MikeJones77]

Are you irate that child molesters, rapists and murderers in jail get free room and board, water and food?

[HellBender212]

dude stfu

theses people should go live with family and friends and minium wage jobs would pay for there food bills

plus they should learn to fish and hunt or something, u kill a deer that meat will last a long time

[Chip_n_Dales]

I remember being on food stamps for a bit when I was about 9, and I **** you not...one day while we were down town at the welfare office, I saw someone pull up In a ****ing porsche I just sat there and saw this lady hop out, and get in line to get her food stamps. Pretty much decided that food stamps was the most ****ed up thing and I would ****ing work hard just to avoid it.

[cupcakekid]

Blame your parents. Go to private entities for assistance (i.e. church or family)

It's not my fault your parents were poor

Proble.m here. And I say this respectfully, is that many advocate the dismissal or end to food stamps. I would rather have something where u must be somewhat productve and not violate the law.

Further I already do go to local churches for food as previously stated.

I feel that im a contributing member to society and should have the ability to get some basic assistance.for food.

I want to be clear.... I hate these pos ghetto hoodrats who abuse the system and sell dope, ride in nice cars or the preppy kids who get money and spend there link card on chips and pop

All things I get are the basics.

[QuatreVingtOnze]

dude stfu

Do you know how I know you've lived a sheltered life?

Though I agree FS need an overhaul, I'm afraid this sentence completely discredits you, and shows you have NO knowledge of the lower class world.

[BeerBellySC]

OP mad he can't take advantage of the system.

U mad I know someone getting medicaid and food stamps and they work 4 nights a week $200 cash monies?

yea u mad

[SlapBassist]

Occam's razor says you are wrong.

Reality shows its most likely true. There are some.people that abuse it, yes, the same people who abuse the court systems, disability, unemployment, etc - but NOT the majority. I had to be on FS for a while and I hated it. But living on my own at 200/week? **** is rough man. Everyone it seems who is bitching is complaining and talking **** about less fortunate people like they DESERVE it when its a BLESSING they were born into a family where it isn't an issue - then upon seeing people less fortunate, and God forbid one person abusing the system, stereotypes and hate go into full swing - fcking absolute bull.

[HellBender212]

Do you know how I know you've lived a sheltered life?

stfu i hunted and fish all the time, its not hard to catch a few fish, espically when ur unemployed and have tons of free time, boom u get 3 fish u got a meal

[Kataz]

stfu i hunted and fish all the time, its not hard to catch a few fish, espically when ur unemployed and have tons of free time, boom u get 3 fish u got a meal

Boom, most people on FS live in the city where you'd have to drive miles and miles to hunt or fish, BOOM.

So, reality shows that when I see a person using food stamps, they are most likely just buying the food for a disabled friend? Are you familiar with the concept of Occam's razor?

Ill counter op by telling my story and id appreciate a response op.

I am a 24 year old college student. I have a 3.8 gpa, work 2 jobs and volunteer at a shelter. I have been on my own since 17 with little to no financial backing by my parents. I am a law abiding citizen and drive a piece of **** car. My monthly expenses of necesseities total around 1200 dollars. That excludes food. I might make a g a month or a lil more. I have been in soup lichens and to salvation armys at the asscrack of dawn getting there before food runs out. I am also taking government loans out to pay for education as I am not rich. As a student who has no financial backing and a year or so from entering a phd program. What am I supposed to do?

less time in school more time working sorry but the real world is hard

[Gator Brah]

mandatory drug testing to stay on stamps would be awesome
