Tea Party Governor Has Quota for Food Stamps

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Why are we recruiting people to sign up for food stamps? If anything, there should be considerable scrutiny applied to every applicant to verify that they are truly in need and have exhausted all other options before receiving.

And Florida has a quota. Hmmm, Isn't Rick Scott a Tea Party governor?

Tanner’s report, “SNAP Failure: The Food Stamp Program Needs Reform,” finds that in 2000 the cost of the food stamp program was just $17 billion. It has risen in cost to $78 billion today.

Spending on advertising and outreach for food stamps by federal and state governments has also increased, now amounting to $41.3 million a year.

States like Florida have hired “food stamp recruiters,” who have a quota of signing up 150 new recipients each month. Rhode Island hosts “SNAP-themed bingo games,” and the USDA tells its field offices to throw parties to get more people on their rolls.

This is just appalling. I didn't see anything in there about him but he should be thrown out if there is the slightest connection.

The Department of Ag spends taxpayer money creating radio commercials targeting Hispanics, blacks and poor whites in a "stereotypical" way for each group selling Food Stamps.

Yes, the USGOV is marketing Food Stamps to people as if they are Nike selling tennis shoes.

Democraps in charge of DC just want more and more people living off government welfare for life until the system implodes. Socialists create chaos to start their total control of the system.

1776 can't even define socialism in his or her own words, much less apply it to clear and exact samples of same in Florida.

Government assistance is not socialism.
