SNAP (food stamps) should be restricted to rice, flour, rolled oats, and sugar

junk food is cheaper than fruit and veggies.
It definitely is cheaper, which is why they buy it. Their actual benefits one month at a time is shit.

No, they are very generous with the food stamps. But what happens is that people get together and pool their SNAP's cards together. Whatever they don't use they sell for cash.
my sister family of 5 gets 300 a month. They eat a lot of pasta. Our doctors tells us to eat less pasta and more fruit and veggies but she can't afford it with her food stamps. She has no income but they kicked her off food stamps when her youngest turned 18. She has liver psorosis, and a multitude of other problems like leaking whenever she has a period but they won't give her disability because they say she can do a sit down job. So I pay all the bills which isn't fair on me. If I wasn't here she'd be on the street with her two kids and our mother.

Something doesn't sound right with your story.

I almost had to apply for disability myself this year, but I barely passed the physical for my job so I can work....at least for another year. Anticipating the worst, I contacted SS about disability. They told me I do indeed qualify, provided I am out of work for at least one month because of my disabilities.

I explained to them I can work, but not by government standards. They told me as long as I can provide proof, I am eligible for compensation.

I guess the question I have is, did your sister have any physician document that she has no ability to work? Because one of my tenants just got SS disability, and she is still working. She was working part-time before she applied, while she applied, and now that she is accepted, still working even though she's limited to how much income she's allowed to have.

Hahahahaha...if you think getting disability is easy, you are out of your fucking mind. You will be hard pressed to find a single person that got disability in less than two years... or longer. It almost always goes through appeals and finally a hearing before someone gets it or not. So let's say you are disabled and single, how do you live for 2+ years with no income and no one to support you?

I heard of that claim, but found it was urban legend when my tenant was accepted. Her husband works full time. She works part-time. She has a laundry list of medical problems, and she got on SS disability in less than five months. She never hired a lawyer, didn't go through any appeals, and never quit her job.

She can't afford a doctor so how is she supposed to get the proof she's sick?

If your sister has no income and hasn't for some time, she's able to get on Medicaid. Even if not, if she doesn't have the money for a doctor, the government will provide her with one to make their determination.

But now your claim is even more confusing, because SS workers can't make any determination of what kind of job you can do without a doctors evaluation. That's not what they do. In order to apply, they need some kind of physical evidence of the claim.
She gets back child support and is supporting her part of the bills with that. Her medication runs around 70 a week. Her sons both work. But they won't give her disability even though she can't work.

I'm bi-polar and take medication paid for by the VA. They won't give me disability either. Said I should get a job filling out paperwork I filled out their forms so well. I work answering phones for Dicks Sporting goods from home but will be laid off in a couple of months. No car to find another job with it got repo'd. Ex Uber driver. I'm real good at taking tests. I hate my job. People spending too much money for stuff I could never afford expecting me to feel sorry for them because they didn't get their stuff in 24 hours. I'm tired of working my ass off and having nothing to show for it but a months rent.

I had a friend that had Crohn's Disease so bad he would throw up blood and have blood come out his butt every day, and he had agoraphobia and depression. It took him 3+ years to finally get his disability despite numerous doctors telling him he couldn't work.

should the poor care how much the rich make and how much they actually pay in personal income taxes?

If they are greedy and envious they would probably be assholes like that.

I am not concerned with what other people make. I am concerned with how I do.

I am not hurt by the rich. I am hurt by government that forcefully takes my money and gives it away to some shithead that didn't earn it. The word for that is thievery.

Everybody pays too much taxes either directly or indirectly for this big bloated out of control government.

Of course you have to remember that a lot of the filthy ass ghetto welfare queens voted for Obama who increase poverty and increased income disparity so he is their real enemy, not the rich.
I think you are just being like that, if you care how much the poor make and how they make it. How much do the rich actually pay in personal income taxes?
 
It should be very uncomfortable to be poor so that everybody would have the strong incentive to get out of it.
how socialist of you. capitalism is about voluntary social transactions including, employment at will.

You are confused once again Moon Bat. You live in a state of confusion, don't you?

Capitalism entails either succeeding or failing on your own. Most people learn that by the 5th grade.
capitalism is about voluntary social transactions that engender mutually beneficial trade. it is not about the coercive use of force, that is what socialism is for.

Correct, employment at will. But when you decide not to be employed, we shouldn't have people who are employed paying your way.
why not? you are paying for capitalism, and capitalism's natural rate of unemployment; it is what keeps a PoliceStateUSA, at bay.
 
First of all, do you know how much this program costs per year in total? Also, most SNAP recipients are kids. Obviously it's important they get a balanced diet for normal development.

Junk food is NOT a balanced diet. That's why we need to restrict food stamp purchases to staples. THINK
You do know people need fruits and vegetables right?
junk food is cheaper than fruit and veggies.
i look for good deals on nutrition bars.

Bullshit. If anything they get paid way too much.

How Much Could I Receive? | Food and Nutrition Service
When it comes to individuals in a household, it is based on how many dependents there are i.e. Children. There is a low income cap on eligibility for food stamps. If the total household monthly gross is above poverty level, no one in the household is eligible for food stamps.

Ideally, she should be able to collect unemployment compensation, simply for being unemployed on an at-will basis. With that income, she could take better care of herself until she finds a job.

No, it encourages people not to work, and we have enough of that already. It's like Limbaugh said so many times: If you pay people not to work, don't be surprised when they don't.

How long ago are we talking about here? Because I have two tenants on SS disability. One (who got it years ago) hired a lawyer, and it took him almost a year to get it. My other tenant got it in just a few months, but she didn't hire a lawyer. She did it herself. I also dated a girl on SS disability several years ago, and it took her a year to get it with the aid of a lawyer.

What I'm thinking is that maybe they changed things the last year or so easing the restrictions and wait times. It may be worth it for your sister to reapply. It's either that, or you're better off doing it yourself without a lawyer. My one tenant got on some other program associated with his disabilities, but he used a service called Disability Advocates. He told me there are a bunch of those people around. They are cheaper and faster than lawyers.

Hahahahaha...if you think getting disability is easy, you are out of your fucking mind. You will be hard pressed to find a single person that got disability in less than two years... or longer. It almost always goes through appeals and finally a hearing before someone gets it or not. So let's say you are disabled and single, how do you live for 2+ years with no income and no one to support you?

I heard of that claim, but found it was urban legend when my tenant was accepted. Her husband works full time. She works part-time. She has a laundry list of medical problems, and she got on SS disability in less than five months. She never hired a lawyer, didn't go through any appeals, and never quit her job.

Then she hit the lottery. That almost NEVER happens.

If she wasn't my tenant, I wouldn't have believed it myself. They told me I had to be out of work for a month to apply, and she worked through the whole thing. But she doesn't get as much because I think it's partial disability. Because she's married, they took her husbands income into consideration as well. But what the hell....... it's still $700.00 a month, and that makes a real difference in your life when you live check to check.

Liar.
why should i have to care, if i could collect unemployment compensation for simply being unemployed, that either, clears our poverty guidelines or is one dollar an hour less than the current statutory minimum wage.

in that same manner, those who are richer should not have to care, either.

It doesn't matter how rich you are. You always watch your money and where it's going.
