So, the Trump/GOP budget will cut 25% of the food for the hungry, which is, primarily to feed children and the elderly. Should we expect anything less from the GOP? After all,why waste food on people after yanking their health insurance away from them.
That is true but it is not the crux of this argument about wasteful spending by the government.many people who are truly mentally incompetent need actual assistance too KG....True progressives hate women, and they hate old people.you mean like the ones you say have everything handed to them?....im considered elderly and i dont get jack shit handed to me...and the other elderlies i know are the same....maybe its the old folks you know,like some poor ones?....You mean the inflated percentage of Americans on food stamps?
The elderly get everything handed to them... Literally the most spoiled generation of people in America. They want free healthcare, free food, free this, free that. How about live off of your 401k, pension, and social security? Damn.
Or the imaginary ones people talk about here.
That's why our welfare programs benefit drug addicts, criminals, and the mentally ill more than they benefit any of the people who actually need or deserve our assistance.
Your games are dumb. I don't give a fuck who's who. If you're bumming off of my tax dollars get a job.
It doesn't surprise me that you see "politics" where I see a problem. You're a liberal after all
And for the record I doubt most people on food stamps even vote based on their lazy lifestyle. Hell I bet most of them can't even name their own Senators or Governors
And A LOT OF PEOPLE on those programs are complete bums. There is no spin or link you can supply to refute that fact so just stop.[/QUOTE]If you read the link, under 10% are also collecting TANF, etc. A lot of people on Food Stamps are disabled, elderly, or temporarily out of work. If it keeps them from stealing or rioting, or starving and putting more strain on the ER due to rickets and shit, is that good?32%?Your games are dumb. I don't give a fuck who's who.

They're not all lazy. From March of this year:
Nearly 32 percent of SNAP households are home to at least one wage-earner, according to the most recent data on the program, compared to only 19.6 percent in 1989, as far back as USDA data is available.

From what I see around here, in a poor rural area, that sounds about right. i
That mean the rest are total losers living off the government tit?
Children and elderly my ass. You even know anyone on food stamps?
The ole children and poor, trembly elderly deal, to make everyone feel horrible about their belief that welfare as it exists is a true problem
As a matter of fact, I was in Katrina, and everyone in the city, including myself, was on food stamps for weeks, because every employer in New Orleans was shut down for at least 6 to 8 weeks. So were the banks. Any more questions, sparky?

Trump budget will reportedly cut food stamps by 25 percent
The above isn't the only news source I found with the same story.
President Trump's budget proposal - set to be unveiled Tuesday - will cut the food stamp program by more than 25 percent.
The 2018 budget outline would take about $193 billion out of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as food stamps, over the next 10 years. The reductions would take place through changes in who is eligible to receive assistance and additional work requirements, the AP reported.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, some 44 million people are currently served through SNAP, with the average household receiving $258 per month in benefits. The total annual cost of the food stamp program is around $70 billion a year, with 93 percent of that going directly to beneficiaries and the remaining amount for administrative, education and training costs.
Close to 70 percent of SNAP participants are in families with children; more than one-quarter are in households with seniors or people with disabilities.
In Alabama, a family of two people must earn less than $20,826 to qualify for SNAP
YOU guys?....i hope you dont mean me gramps,i have bitched about the phony's here before.....i had to deliver checks to many of them....That is true but it is not the crux of this argument about wasteful spending by the government.many people who are truly mentally incompetent need actual assistance too KG....True progressives hate women, and they hate old people.you mean like the ones you say have everything handed to them?....im considered elderly and i dont get jack shit handed to me...and the other elderlies i know are the same....maybe its the old folks you know,like some poor ones?....

I submit to you that a 25% reduction is far less than the amount of abuse that occurs in this program. Like I said right from the start, strengthen the requirements and the cut is no big deal. Those that really need it will get it.
Rather than being pissed at the right for wanting some accountability you guys should be bitching at the able bodied THIEVES who take from the indigent what was intended to be theirs to begin with.
Foodstamps are supposed to be a safety net not a lifestyle
tell that to the red staters[/Q
I had no idea that inner cities Detroit, Baltimore, Los Angeles, Oakland, New York,
Perhaps there is an misunderstanding. Snap budget will continue to grow. There will be no actual "cut" over 10 years. That is the "cut" the main stream media is talking about? The amount of projected increase over 10 years. Allowing these budgets to grow as it has in the recent past is unsustainable. Everyon understands that. So in essence of what is happening is that there wiill be a slower increase in upcoming years, but increases just the same. A measured response to the budget that we can all agree is needed to meet our obligations and remove ourselves from the cliff of unsustainable growths.Trump budget will reportedly cut food stamps by 25 percent

When y'all were on those food stamps, did you find the same rate of disgusting waste and misuse as those that bought TVs and hookers with their cash aid cards?
