HAHAHA. Talk about the fox guarding the hen house!!! The govt investigates itself and says - "we're doing a great job".The percent of fraud is 0.01%. ANY program would be happy to have a percent of fraud at that level. Give it a rest.
You don't like to use reasoning skills do you? Compare it to all cases of government programs and fraud. why would the mysteriously pick SNAP to be the least abused system? Over say... defense? THINK!
As I pointed out, it's less about the fraud than it is people that don't really have to be on the program. I'm sure many are able to feed themselves (like in Maine) that are on food stamps because they qualify anyway.
When DumBama got in, he doubled the food stamp role almost overnight. What did those people do for food before that? They bought their own food, that's what they did.
I've had many unfortunate experiences with these food stamp people that could otherwise buy their own food. Instead, we buy their food, and they buy products for their pets, alcohol, cigarettes just to name a few. I've seen it first hand multiple times.
Sure you have... that's what all people like you say.
Where do you think we get the attitude we have about food stamps? It's the same with all these social programs. Experience.
A guy bought two houses next door to me. He was asking way too much for rental and had no takers, so he finally went to HUD. Now both houses are full and these people don't work. Why is our government renting houses in the suburbs for their HUD clients? I have to work full-time to live here, yet with lowlifes, all they need to do is have government get housing right next door to me and they don't even work!
We are nearly 20 trillion dollars in debt, and our government is renting and buying more expensive housing in the suburbs rather than provide housing in the city where prices are cheaper. Or am I making this all up too?
They don't care. Why? Because it's not their money. They are more focused on buying votes using our tax dollars than they are doing what's best for the country.
I explained to the new landlord that HUD people are a problem. The last owner tried the same thing, and I had the cops out here every week. Since these people don't work, they come home on work nights 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning, car radio blaring, slamming doors and laughing out loud because they are so F'd up.
So sorry for my lack of empathy. But I've seen too much with these programs to feel sorry for anybody anymore.
I know exactly why you have the attitude you do. It's about the system of shit rolling down hill. The Rich take advantage of the middle-class, and then you as the middle class, instead of working to put the rich that break the rules and hide money from paying taxes into their place, decide to shit on the poor that can't defend themselves... it makes you feel better about your miserable lives.
