The graph is so telling, thank goodness the TEA party is actually out doing the things that are actually going to improve economic conditions for these folks to get jobs.

Does the Food Stamps credit card have a “666” on it?

Instead of money send them Jennie Craig food packages. At least that will not turn in to fat....

I might be the only one, but I think there should be lots of negative stigma attached to food stamps. The debit card look alike is too easy.

I know a few college grads who are on food stamps because they refuse to get paying jobs and instead do things like theatre for/with the homeless or some other service for other people on food stamps. It’s absurd.

The easier they make it for people to get them the more people will. I think they should print each one out on 8x11 paper in bright hunters orange that has to be signed by the cashier.

Don’t let people hide behind a card swipe, make them announce to the world that the people standing behind them in line with a checkbook or cash they earned are the ones feeding their fat butts.

Many wouldn’t care as along as they get what they want, but a bunch of those who are borderline would probably drop them if their friends knew they were using them.

How about that idea... Make public the names of everyone who is using them with a city by city searchable database. I bet a whole bunch of soccer moms who don’t declare their full income to become eligible will drop them so fast your head will spin.

You live a rich and full fantasy life; what makes you think these people want jobs? My city is so full of deadbeats on welfare/unemployment/food stamps and gov’t housing that it’s gotten difficult to drive around during the day time. The streets are littered with crap mobiles being driven at speeds 5 to 15 miles per hour below the speedlimit by people stonned on pot, driving from HUD apt. complex to HUD apt.complex to score more weed or to sell a stash, then it’s off to the convenience store to buy lotto tickets, cigarettes and beer. And of course, if you’re low on cash, just don the ski mask, grab the shotgun and hit the nearest liquor store or convenience store for cash and goodies. With a ski mask and a shotgun, every small store is your personal ATM!

WHY spend money on food if somone else is going to be forced to buy it for you? If you don’t have to pay for your food, you can then use your money for more important things like beer, pet food, lotto tickets, cable TV, cigarettes, fancy cell phones, nail salons, and dope (to name just a few)

Why is the moniker “food stamps” still used? Recipients get a Government debit card...after all, you have to protect their pride and privacy...

But the large numbers signing up for the program just prove that the economy is NOT improving at the fundamental level, and demonstrates what the LEFT desire anyway - and that is to create dependents of everyone.

I don’t have a problem helping those that CANNOT work,the elderly primarily. It’s those that WILL NOT work that really chap my hide. Why should someone’s laziness be rewarded with my tax dollars? I work hard to pay my own way, everyone else should, too. A temporary hand up for some experiencing a rough patch is one thing. A permanent hand out for the lazy and shiftless is quite a different thing altogether.

Call me cruel and heartless, I don’t care. It’s taking all I have to take care of me and mine. Everyone else should do the same.
