Second job? Oh, wait. You gotta have a first job to get a second one.

Sorry. There is no sympathy for those who mooch off others, but carelessly get pregnant by another moocher who won’t take care of his child. These people should be cut off of all assistance. Even the Bible says, “If any does not work, neither should he eat.”

Yeah, these sob stories are backfiring,
because most people look at the amount these people are getting per household per month,
and know what they themselves have to budget for,

and get really angry.

It is not a cut it is the end of a temporary increase from “Stimulus”.

I can’t recall any time in the past couple of years that I’ve been in line at walmart and I didn’t pay for the groceries of the person in front of me.

Starting Friday, Joyce Lewis and her family will lose $44 from their monthly food stamp benefits.
No great loss there. Thanks to your savior Obama, $44 doesn't buy all that much anyway.

are these stories of multiple generations of unwed women living together on welfare while giving birth to the illegitimate children of deadbeat sperm donors supposed to jerk our tears?

She has some pretty nice patio furniture with the new tags stillon, a pretty decent place to live and some nice clothes. Hmmm...

Let me think a minute. Nope, I don’t give a rat’s behind.

Do obese people need food stamps?

How about this for a creative solution:

One of the adult daughters could go to work while the other takes care of the child.

How much total are they getting a month?

Wow. That’s $200 per week to spend on food. Is it any wonder so many are on the dole? Pathetic.

“Her adult daughters who live with her aren’t in a position to work — one is a new mom, and another is due to give birth soon.”

They know what causes that now.
Funny, my wife worked after having a baby.

Where are the fathers of these babies of the adult daughters? And $800 for four adults seems enough - that’s about $26 per day. If even ONE of the four adults was working at a mimimum-wage job, even part-time, the daily food allotment would go up to #35-50 dollars or more.

‘Till they get down to fish heads and rice, they are eating high on the hog.

Waaauuugh! They're losing just 5.5% - $44 out of a continued $800 a month benefit. They can still afford a heckuva lotta ramen and corn flakes with that kind of money.
