“If I were a rich man I’d help support them ! The government misers won’t help them that’s for sure . God Bless ‘em !”
I think a handful of us sending them $1000 a month (total) will take care of their rice needs, and I suspect many of us have kids who would be better off not receiving quite as much in inheritance (which is where the money ultimately comes from).
Can't understand how that happens. Here's a crazy idea, maybe use some protection or at the very least do the rhythm method. Why is it everyone else's job to support them? Aren't you supporting more than enough US citizens and illegals?
For a family of 4 in most states, the max. income limit to be eligible for SNAP is $60k/yr and the government thinks it takes $1400/mo to feed them along with free phones, internet, discounted utilites, etc. That's just SNAP, not all the million other government freebie programs that include housing and medical. This household has never seen a 60k income and we manage just fine. This household has always only spent 1/3 of what the government thinks groceries cost and we eat just fine. We also pay for our housing, medical, phones, internet, utilities, etc. It is ridiculous our garbage is picked up 4 times a month and each pick up costs $25 which is likely more than the stuff in the trash can originally cost to begin with. Of course, all the freebies are fed tax free so that's another benefit. Someone please tell me why SNAP doesn't deduct the 360 free breakfasts and lunches students get every year and then the weekend food boxes? Then there is the free summer lunches for aged 0-21. That smells highly of double dipping. Then there are as many food pantry visits as they wish, and churches and other charities. What's that, triple dipping into our tax dollars? After property taxes, there isn't much left if any. But go ahead, it isn't my say, and support a family in Japan so they can have rice. Wow, what a derogatory headline.
