I know people who are on socisl security disability and senior citizens who receive food stamps because of their pensions lost due the stock market fiasco. These people are takers hey need a helping hand. I am a conservative so do not scream at me and call me a taker. I am just saying there are some people who get Snap who have no alternative. Lets just say they do not get lots EBT funds though.

It's a flawed argument. So out of the 46,000,000+ receiving foodstamps, 771,234 are legit cases. Or whatever the actual number.

It's like saying we should let everybody out of prison because a small percentage are there due to a miscarriage of justice.

I say end the foodstamp program now. I'm sure the legit cases will be provided for through private charities. If my taxes were halved tomorrow, I'd definitely throw a few bucks to my local church soup kitchen and so would many others.

I don’t know a single Conservative or Republican who is not perfectly willing to help those, who through NO fault of their own are in need.

Many of those same Conservatives and Republicans are like me and would not shed a tear if the rest of the teat suckers, who are the vast majority who need a hand out because of their own piss poor life choices, starved to death. It would be a much needed cleansing of the gene pool.
