Here's an idea....

Go get a damn job and feed your own kids.

This is what happens when you trade your food stamps for crack.

This is the county whose citizens keep electing a sherriff that is a convicted felon. The county can be fairly labeled as a third world country.

And a third-rate President to ruin it. Socialist Nirvana....

For people who are on food stamps the money is usually issued at the 1st of the month, especially those who have obviously been on them awhile.  And most who have not received their money on the 1st are calling in by the 2nd complaining.  Do these people not keep at least some staples around.  Rice, beans, pasta?

I am also wondering if some worker, not happy with being furloughed, threw a monkey wrench in the system?  It is a possibility....

MOST (but not all) don't use food stamps wisely. They use it for junk food. They head to the convenience stores and buy potato chips, pop (do you say "pop" in your part of the country?). Some do even sell it for drugs.

It's too bad, because there IS a legitimate need for it -- especially in this Obama economy. You ma say, "Get a damn job!", but where? There are no jobs in these ghettos. Jobs aren't easy to find anywhere else for that matter. Remember, the actual unemployment rate is close to 20%!

There needs to be some real changes to the food stamp system. It should only be able to be used for the purchase of REAL food--rice, beans, potatoes, vegetables, fruits and meat.

ILLEGAL invaders need to be deported and AMERICANS should be pressured to take these low wage jobs. Even the lazy American will work IF THEY HAVE TO.

In most states there are regulations on what you can buy with foodstamps and it's better food then My kids and I eat. I always thought that you couldn't buy junk food, soda, alcohol and cigs but now you can get a certain amount of cash back in some states. Also many folk in other areas will sell there cards for cash. I have been approached right here in our small oasis in the mountains. Young kid says I'll give 100 $ for 75 and they'll follow you thru the line and just swipe the card. A friend in retail has had to call the cops many times to get the low lifes away from his store but the law no longer will even show up.
If you get caught doing this you should be banned from any subsidies for LIFE.

I agree and have done these low level jobs when I was younger, baled hay, shoveled barns even picked veggies. BUT the government has made it easier to SIT home and collect MONEY then work. Work 40 hours at 8 per hour you bring home 275 per week. They have made it so you collect more on welfare, foodstamps, section 8 housing and so on. Family of two living together will most likely do better sitting home. This is what the libs WANT total control.

I believe some one calculated that a family of four would have to earn at least $60,000 to equal all the benefits that the government gives a family of four! The fact that we still have as many people as we do working, or looking for work, is a testament to the strength of their upbringing.
