He would get my vote.
Obama feeds the poor - HURRAH!!
When they start creating jobs, Americans will stop looking to the government to help them put food on the table.
Politicians like to target us rather than cut wasteful spending.
Go figure.
The food stamp program as currently designed is a JOKE.
I volunteer many hours at a local charity that provides food and clothing to around 30,000 people a year. A high percentage of our clients are disabled or elderly or, increasingly, unable to find work.
I see many who get $15 - $20 a month in food stamps.
Seriously? It costs the government more than that just to process their application.
Local food banks do a much better job. The government should shelve the Food Stamp program and put that money into grants to the local non-profits who know how to get the job done.
All Hail President Cloward-Piven!
Drug test!
I will go out on a limb and predict right now...this will NOT happen.
The linguini-spined Pubbies won’t endure even the first extended 60 Minutes story about poor folk out in South Succotash someplace who are now eating grass and bark because of those Mean Eeeeeeeevil Republicans.
Amen to that!
Drug test them!!! That would cut the program in at least half.
“May” tighten eligibility? Eliminate it!
People know that if you have long Bread Lines that times are hard. Surely if such a Bread Line existed today, it would shock people.
Well, 45.8 Million Americans are on Food Stamps. If you made those 45.8 Million people stand in a line like this one, if you were giving out the bread in New York City, the line would stretch, six abreast, all the way across the country to Los Angeles, California.
