Half the world lives on rice and beans. You can live on fifty cents worth of rice and beans a day, and be all the healthier for it.
Five years on food stamps? Did it ever occur to her that she needed to do more to feed her family rather than wait for Big daddy government to take care of her? Like don’t have kids if you can’t feed them....
Food stamps should be temporary, not permanent. And the parasites need to get used to it.
More scare tactics by the left. Right out of their play books. Oh, the children will starve! We all know this is so much BS, if they truly need to cut(and they do) there are many places they could cut but won’t because some crony or relative might lose their job and they could use sympathy to try and get support to raise taxes.
“That’s just going to be catastrophic for working families across all of the 17 counties of North Florida that we serve,” said Bruce Ganger.”
Why are working families receiving food stamps in the first place?
Bull****! And that's all I've got to say about that.
I've been a "working family" my whole life and never got a government handout.

Gotta love those professional journalists and their advanced writing skills.
She wasn’t putting food on the table. Working people whose money was taken at fedgov gunpoint were being forced to put food on the leech’s table. For FIVE YEARS.
Cry me a river, LSM scum...
My aunt and uncle are elderly and disabled. They are eligible for the food bank twice a month and get about $180 in food stamps monthly. I recently found out that their oldest son, who had possession of their ATM card and food stamp card, was cleaning them out monthly. He was “in charge” of taking care of their financial affairs. Bills weren’t getting paid and they got shut off notices for their utilities. Their son was taking my uncle to the food bank, but he got into an argument with them about something and has abandoned them. I’ve been doing what I can to straighten out their affairs. Their food stamp card has been cancelled and reissued. I know their son is ticked off at me for cutting off his gravy train. He also incurred over $2400 in NSF and overdraft fees on their bank account. They had to open a different bank account and have their social security money directed into the new account.
It’s a shame how much fraud and corruption goes on. How much of it is from family members, and how much of it is identity theft or misrepresentation? There are a lot of government hand-outs available, and lots of people actually need them, especially the elderly. But there are still many people who milk the system.
I dont understand this comment, how does congress effect food banks???
i see riots.......
Listen we’ve got this god awful obesity epidemic due to hit the US in 2030. Now is the time to start pulling the food away from the potential fatties. BACK AWAY FROM THE BUFFET BEFORE YOU BECOME TOO FAT. The US government can no longer finance obesity. THE TIME IS NOW TO START THE DIET!!! /sarcasm
Idiot move by the House. There’s all kinds of programs that should be cut first that cost taxpayers billions. But no, they had to go for the entitlement that feeds millions in a recession. Smart move. /s
“I honestly don’t know what I’d do without them,” said Booher.
hmmm... you could.. I don’t know.. GET A JOB!
She had five years to figure it out.
“more than one in four households in Duval County rely on SNAP”
I think these people have confused “taking advantage of” a government program with “rely” on a government program.
People will always take all the free stuff that is offered to them. That doesn’t mean they’ll die if it is no longer available.
