I can’t for the life of me figure out WHY I am constantly bombarded with “Sign up for food stamps” commercials on the radio. Two little old ladies discovering they both use food stamps and how great they are to stretch budgets. People are being asked to guess which of 10 people in their life is going hungry. It’s like the government is BEGGING people to get on the dole.

Can anyone explain this to me? You’d think the government would want to make it at least a little challenging to become a dependent.

Sure thing.

The Cloward–Piven strategy is a political strategy outlined in 1966 by American sociologists and political activists Richard Cloward (1926–2001) and Frances Fox Piven (b. 1932) that called for overloading the U.S. public welfare system in order to precipitate a crisis that would lead to a replacement of the welfare system with a national system of "a guaranteed annual income and thus an end to poverty".

Food stamps, SSI disability and underfunding of Social Security via Obama's tax cuts are all ways to break the bank.

Obama's handlers are not inept, they are evil. They care not the suffering that will befall our nation as long as they are the ones calling the shots.

Many people would rather have the power to distribute the last loaf of bread in a starving kingdom than grant freedom in a wealthy one.

Dumb people are easily ruled, easily (mis)led, and good commie slaves, as long as they get fed.

The next 'revolution' is three missed meals away.
