Thanks. It’s hard enough to be a rational person involuntarily drawn into the abyss by the abject idiocy of your fellow state residents voting for demonic libs time after time. I should get a bumper sticker “Don’t blame me! I didn’t vote for this crap!”, but then someone would probably bust out my windows or something, keeping in line with their intellectual abilities.

It’s obvious they’ve getting too many EBT dollars. Cut those guilty off the dole forever and slash everyone else’s.

Saw a gang banger recently use an EBT card with a balance of more than $5000.00. How does that happen?

What difference does it make? Taxpayer money spent on food stamps or foreign aid, if these people don’t need food assistance who are we to be telling them they shouldn’t be spending our money on their own private foreign aid program.
Who are we to complain were just taxpayers and probably racists as well. Our opinions count for nought we are at the bottom of the ladder behind welfare receipants, minorities, illegal immigrants, union members, liberal elitist, proffesors, government employees and certainly politicians.

Makes sense to me. If you have ‘money’ to buy extra and send to relatives, then you have too much. Unlike some FReepers, I think that we have enough food and that no AMERICAN should starve. With long term unemployment, recession, etc., I don’t begrudge someone getting food assistance. However, there should only be enough to feed you and your family, and probably some restrictions on what foods you can get (hamburger yes, lobster no).

I wouldn’t be surprised if some of these people sending food overseas don’t have cash, under the table, jobs. Otherwise, they’d need the food for themselves.

There is enough food growing wild in Jamaica to feed that entire country.

Even the natives in Jamaica say:

If you starve in Jamaica you are too lazy too eat.

Why the heck should they work when they have the American taxpayers working their rear ends off to feed THEM? And the Messicans. And the Dominicans. And the lazy American-born blacks who roam the halls of their schools in lieu of taking notes, studying, and preparing themselves to support themselves.

Most of the kids I have ever seen roaming the halls of high schools when they are supposed to be in class are blacks. And the first kids to act out and disrupt the class are blacks 99% of the time. And all of the parents I have ever had to ask to leave a parent teacher conference for getting mouthy, disrespectful and thoroughly out of line have been blacks, even when you show them written documentation that their kid has not been doing their work and/or has been disruptive in class. This is not bigotry on my part, it's what I've seen with my own eyes. They want their kid to get a passing grade without having done the work.

Just another version of TINSTAAFL.

If the people sending the food overseas are receiving cash in return, then they could be considered exporters and should receive help from the export-import bank.

Without posting the link to the dupe, your post is useless.

People are blind or refuse to recognize/acknowledge that there are differences for/by various cultural societies and in some cases the differences are related to physical differences. The idea that all humans can be assimilated into one all the same society like the Tower of Babel is a Lyndon Johnson feely-goody aberration. Of course it is to the advantage of some cultures to make others pay for their shortcomings.

“I don’t begrudge someone getting food assistance”

3 MREs per family member per day. If its good enough for some 18 year old grunt in the sandbox it’s good enough for them.

“Why?”

Answer: so junk food companies will make big donations to your politicians, and so media will get lots of advertising money to say nice things about those politicians!

Isn’t it a wonderul system? After all, all you have to do is pay!

The one that bites on me after said well dressed scammer sorts thru his cart to find the EBT card eligible stuff then pulls out a wad of cash to pay for the wine, smokes and a couple porn mags——I have to wait on this dirt bag twice since the clerk has to start a new ticket for him. The least the stores could do would be “EBT only “ registers. Most of my buying fortunately, so far anyway, is from places that don’t take EBT cards.

Why bother trying to fight it? What else can you expect from this sort of Federal administration? They are fecal matter.
