“Powdered Milk, 5 lbs bag of flour, Large Can of Pinto Beans and a brick of Government Cheese.”
Mix together in large washtub, add 2 gallons of water and let stand overnight.
Drain excess water and bake at 175 deg for about 20 min.
Serve warm with lots of salt.
Yep, look at the fits people are having right now in Ferguson, MO threatening there’ll be ‘hell to pay’ if stores they looted and/or burned down aren’t reopened.
My strip club now has a vegetable stand!
WIC in some regards is too restrictive, such as making it difficult to buy potatoes.
But it is certainly reasonable to say “we give you money for food, you can only buy THESE foods, no Little Debbie or soda for you”.
I love going to farmer’s markets in the spring/summer/fall and I noticed that they now take “SNAP” Cards - so this is probably what Moochelle’s program was intended to do...Fine, get the fruits/veggies, but do not allow them to buy steak or pop/soda or candy or cookies or any other “unhealthy” stuff as deemed by Moochelle.
I guess those uppity obamas have never heard of fatback. They eat what they eat because it tastes good. And pork fat makes everything taste good.
Prepaid cards can certainly be programmed to be restricted to merchants and/or items.
Lets just give up. Have a government program to distribute meth. It would be cheaper.
Ho Hum...
Just another Obama Wealth Redistribution scam.
Got this in an email last week...
This was written by a 21 yr. old female who gets it. It’s her future she’s worried about and this is how she feels about the social welfare big government state that she’s
being forced to live in! These solutions are just common sense in her opinion. This was in the Waco Tribune Herald, Waco, Tx.
PUT ME IN CHARGE ...
Put me in charge of food stamps. I’d get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho’s, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.
Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I’d do is to get women Norplant birth control implants or tubal ligations. Then, we’ll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine. If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, or smoke, then get a job.
Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks? You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your “home” will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your own place. In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a “government” job. It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you. We will sell your 22-inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the “common good.”
Before you write that I’ve violated someone’s rights, realize that all of the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules. Before you say that this would be “demeaning” and ruin their “self esteem,” consider that it wasn’t that long ago that taking someone else’s money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem. If we are expected to pay for other people’s mistakes we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.
I love this one.
AND
While you are on Gov’t subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes, that is correct. For you to vote would be a conflict of interest. You will voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a Gov’t welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job.
Bump for ‘get a job!’
Anybody seen what is bought with EBT? It isn’t fruits and vegetables.
And yet magically it is Social Security that is "running out of money" and the military that gets pay cuts.
Plenty of cash for the gimmiedats.
.
Excellent letter. It IS common sense.
+Like.
On the topic, I must say I was unaware that healthy foods, like fruits, veggies, and the various types of meats were unavailable in food deserts. I take it the people there feed themselves HoHos with a side of Pabst and Pringles for dessert.
You nailed that...And one of the reasons SS is hurting is because of disability fraud by gimmiedats.
Our military has been second to none but now due to the turkey in the WH and the traitors he’s surrounded himself with we may not be saying that much longer.
