[kidrocks]

Brilliant Mr. Ryan!

Hunger is one of the greatest challenges facing America’s poor. Food insecurity — defined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) as the inability to access “enough food for an active, healthy life” — shot up in the immediate aftermath of the 2008 financial collapse, and has never returned to pre-recession levels. Currently, 49 million Americans, including 8.3 million children, suffer from food insecurity, according to the most recent USDA estimates.

So how does the new and improved Rep. Paul Ryan, scourge of poverty, plan to revamp the anti-hunger safety net in the face of historic levels of food insecurity? By cutting food stamps.

How about they just cut their benefits that are way over bloated???

135 billion in cuts over a decade is a laugher. He should be cutting 300 to 500 billion in a decade.

Only a libtard would think that instituting more stringent work requirements for food stamps and converting the program from a federal entitlement into a system of block grants means cutting food stamps.


You people are dishonest to the core.

Wow. What a brilliant, insightful, well thought out retort!

Only in America can you find people starving to death according to the left and have a horrendous obesity problem according to the left.



Which is it?

I raise or lower myself to the level of the OP, which in this case is about as low as you can get.

 

[HenryBHough]

If learning to help themselves were encouraged they'd greatly lessen their chances of ever starving.

But, under Democrat Alinsky Rules das ist verboten!

 

[g5000]

Block grants relieve the federal government of a great deal of the administrative burden of the given program and transfers that responsibility to the various states.

The more localized the government body involved in social welfare, the more informed it is of the needs of the community, and thus resources can be more efficiently allocated.

The federal government then serves merely as a vehicle for transferring revenues from wealthier states to poorer states, while cutting out operating costs.

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.

Now not saying I agree with Ryan here (because he's not really "teaching" a man to fish, he's instead forcing a man to fish), just saying there's two sides to the discussion. Welfare isn't an area I've studied a whole lot.

 

[HenryBHough]

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.

But there ARE NO fish!

Global warming killed most of 'em and greedy humans finished the job. Sheeeessssss! Is Algore failing to delivery his message to the masses?

 

[ScienceRocks]

How about they just cut their benefits that are way over bloated???

Go back to 2008 levels and feed the people that really need it.

Damn straight. You betcha. Gosh golly, we should throw the poor into the deep end of the pool and let them either sink or fish!

But cutting only helps when you take it away from other people. See how that works?

I know this might come as a surprise but...They arent the same group.

No, didn't say that. I'm a firm supporter of safety nets, and doing all we can to make sure no one goes hungry.

My point was is it possible that a person that's used to receiving a monthly check for food - for instance - might not have as much incentive to provide for oneself as someone who receives no monthly check? Is the solution always more welfare, or is there something else we can do to help people?

The end goal is have it so everyone in society is autonomous, right? Is welfare getting us there? What can we change/tweak?

Those are the questions I'm asking. And as I mentioned I'm no welfare expert.

Work in a factory like a china man in China is their plan. We must defeat the extreme right in 2014 at all cost.
