So did a little googleing and found this out. over 43 million americans are on food stamps, that is what 43mil/300mil a mere 14% of the nation is getting free food. at a cost of 68 Billion a year. that is 7 people are supporting the 8th, and at the growth rate that we are looking at the following growth rate, (my guess is around 12 or 14% growth rate of recipients) that means every 6 years the number of leeches will DOUBLE. so lets do the math,
in the year 2011= 43 mil people,
2017 =86 million,
2023= 172 MILLION,
2029 = 344 MILLION . So yeah there is a problem
graph of 2007 onward

I would be ok with the latter part of your comment. As far as your wallet well my wallet paid into it as well. I assure you I piad in more than I drew out.

Wow this is a sore spot for you isn't it? What is wrong with growing a garden

and canning some food? The soil in your neck of the woods is some fertile stuff.

There are generations of people that have been on food stamps. I have seen them

abused my whole adult life. Seen people I worked with in the past with food stamps

in their wallets. These men were making 40k. I called one out and he told

me he paid the crack heads .50 on the dollar.



There should be no thing as food stamps. If anything it should be food ration

Yes its a touchy subject with me.
Sure they get abused. So do guns. There should be no guns. Dont know if they will be used right.
Growing a garden ok thats great if you have a place to do that.
Rations of plain food,im ok with that too.

My position is dont lump everyone in the same category. Kinda like the brady campaign. And before I hear well arms are a right, well yes they are. But why ? Because it was decided so by man. Also before its asked I did not vote for or support o dumbshit.
