Why are republicans so stupid when it comes to Food Stamps?

[BlueGin]

Nope. If they qualify for one program they qualify for all and they apply for everything.

"If they qualify for one program they qualify for all "

Gawd you cupcakes are an ignorant bunch....

On top of free food via WIC and SNAP,utilities,housing,school lunches,bus passes, healthcare...

They also get fee cell phones.

Poor underprivileged people...so sad....so abused.

Yes, you left out the free trips to Cabo

So...you got nothing but cut and paste propaganda. Not surprised.

As opposed to the rights demonizing the poor?

The "right" spends more time. Volunteering and donating to the poor...while the left pays them lip service.

Get out of the right wing bubble cupcake

Debunking the "Conservatives Give More to Charity" Myth


A recent MIT study countered it finding:

In this paper, we first show that conservatives and liberals are equally generous in their donation habits. This pattern holds at both the individual and state level, and contradicts the conventional wisdom that partisans differ in their generosity. Second, we show that while levels of giving are roughly equivalent, liberals are much more likely to donate to secular organizations, and conservatives are more likely to donate to religious causes, especially their own congregation.


However, there is another issue to address which is: what to count as charity? All of these studies use the IRS definition of "charity" rather than the biblical definition. In the bible, God defines charity as giving to the needy without receiving, or expecting to receive, anything in return. Most "charity" conservatives give is in the form of tithes to their church. The vast majority of that money goes to salaries and building expenses -- for people and buildings that provide the giver with services. A tiny, miniscule fraction goes to the poor and needy.

So, in actuality, it seems that liberals give quite a bit more to biblical charity than conservatives.

[jknowgood]

1) The cost of food stamps is a small fraction of the overall welfare budget

2) 2/3 of those on food stamps are kids

3) Few people even qualify for food stamps because it is reserved for the poorest of the poor. It's a program way behind on the rate of inflation as well.

4) Some Veterans are on food stamps.

5) Any adult on food stamps has a job

Republicans in congress are either complete assholes or are willfully ignorant.

But hey i get it: it gives republicans hard ons to say "i don't need a handout! I provide! I'm tough as nails! Derp, derp, derp!" They then pretend complete falsehoods or stereotypes about the program because it makes them feel more manly i guess.

Why can't facts ever permeate the republican bubble?

Well we did have the great recession...did you consider that or jump straight to "Obama's fault"? Not saying it's the only possible reason but the world has far more impactful forces than that of one man in the highest office.

I think some would find it reasonable that it shot up right after the recession, but DumBama put an increase in food stamps as part of his Pork Bill. I guess he thought poor people were too skinny.

But the usage of food stamps was still high long after the recession technically ended, and remains high today.

See, I thought the Democrats said how great of a job DumBama did with the economy. If that's so, why is food stamp usage still so high?
