So, no proof.

I expected nothing less.

In light of Isun's evidence, I request Mehmet's 'highly abused' statement be stricken from the record, your honor.

WASHINGTON — The federal government pays millions of dollars in farm subsidies each year to farmers who have died, because the Agriculture Department lacks the proper controls to make sure the money it sends is going to the right people, a government audit has found.

You can bet the republicunts want to shrink government so that the Ag. Dept. does not get the resources, either.

How Republicans Who Took Millions In Farm Subsidies Justify Cutting Food Stamps

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonk...subsidies/

This week, House Republicans passed a rather unusual farm bill. There was no money for food stamps for the poor, a program that typically makes up the bulk of these bills. But the House did manage to pass billions in subsidies for farmers and agribusinesses.

Well, do you have proof that the welfare fraud does not exceed the said amount?
Personally I don't think that welfare checks and food stamps are a good way to fight poverty.
They simply are a waste of resources.
Its like giving money to beggars. You give money to beggars, and it ensures that he keeps begging, after all, he does not have to work for his living, just sit and ask for money or spare change.
With beggars, though, you do have the choice of not giving the money, here, the government automatically does this for you.

You can watch the fuckers starve, too.

It never ceases to amaze me that it's mostly theists who shit on the poor.

'Waste of resources'. What resources, Mehmet?

Christ. Because a buck saved trumps human life? WTF?

Conservative critics of SNAP and other federal social programs like to portray them as turning the United States into an "entitlement society" by undermining the work ethic and creating a class of people dependent on government programs. That's not true of SNAP and it's not true of other federal health and income security programs. CBPP analysis finds that more than 90 percent of the benefit dollars that these programs spend go to assist people who are elderly, seriously disabled or members of working households – not to able-bodied, working-age Americans who choose not to work.

Being a christian isn't about loving your fellow man, it is about money and greed. There was a time that wasn't totally true, but that is what the republicans have created as their ideal image of christianity.

Nothing new there. Calvinist shit.

Being a rich motherfucker meant you were one of "god's elect" and was an outward sign that you were going to heaven....unlike all those poor shleppers that jesus whined about.

Who's going to starve, man? This is not Africa.
You're being too sentimental.

I really don't know what's this has to do with me being theist or whatever.
I don't shit on the poor. There are a lot of poor people here, many of whom I know who work at contructions to carry loads, I've worked alongside them in my late teens.
They are able bodied people. They work. There are also people who are unable to work due to disabilities. It is both the state and society that ought to help these people. But giving money to able people is just not the way of solving poverty.
As I said, if a person knows that he's going to be poor even if he works somewhere, if presented the choice, he'll choose the way of the beggar.
Welfare should support the poor that are disabled, sick, and without families.


If you had created public messhalls where daily hot meals were delivered for the poor to come and eat, it would be a better alternative to this food stamp/welfare check thing.

If you people would just like listen for a minute before subjecting someone to a hail of bullets? I'm not your fucking enemy, I do believe in welfare, though this is perhaps the worst form of welfare there is.
But no, you people are not even open to discussion, really, either its food stamps or nothing. I'm not involved with your republicans, I don't know when you're going to realize this, I don't even live in America. I just present a solution what I think would be a better way to solve poverty, but no one really cares, I just hate the poor, don't I?
