I’ve seen VERY few African-American women on food stamps who couldn’t stand to lose 25-100 lbs.
Think of the reduction as a health incentive.
On more than one occasion I’ve seen welfare queens buy a entire birthday party’s work of food (cake, paper goods, chips, etc.) on food stamps.
Remember the 1992 riots, and the post offices put out of commission. They had to move the welfare checks to the other post officers quickly, before even more of ‘all hell’ could break loose.
Remember those welfare women standing in line for their checks. I’ve seen smaller cows. It was one of the most surreal things I’ve ever seen.
Poor people, so over-stuffed with food, they could hardly walk.
As Yakov Smirnov used to say, “America, what a country...”
True, and when I stand behind someone in the grocery line who pays with their card, I figure OK, they may legitimately need the help. But then when I see them load up a newer car or SUV and then pull over to the discount cigarette store or head into the bar, the charitable feeling kinda disappears.
I am out of sympathy for these people. A freeper posted a table citing the cash equivalent of welfare benefits by state. In Maryland the cash equivalent is $60k a year. And that is without gaming the system or doing any work.
Many of the white woman on food stamps are the same way... bigotry much do you?
