Bad News with a silver lining

[Heywood]

My own view is we should get rid of food stamps and give people money instead...

That has to be the most idiotic thing you've ever posted and that's saying a lot. No, thank you. I don't want my tax dollars misused. Most poor people would use the money to buy food but some might abuse it to feed a drug addiction or some other misuse. Beggars can't be choosers.......

......the majority of food stamp recipients are full time workers[/url]. So why do they need food stamps? Because while the cost of living has gone up, the minimum wage has not.

You want to limit the freedom of most food stamp recipients just so you can try to control the behavior of a few? That is what is wrong with you liberal elites. You think your so good at governing peoples lives that no harm is being done when you screw with a majority of hard working food stamps recipients just to protect a few who would otherwise engage in behavior you deem bad.

And guess what...most food stamps recipients...if you gave them money...would spend it more efficiently. They would look for sales, clip coupons, etc to save money on their food bill in order to buy stuff that would further improve their lives. They wouldn't buy six packs of Red Bull just to use up their food stamp allotment.

And guess what again.....addicts take their food stamps and convert them into the objects of their addiction. They will buy bottled water...dump out the water. Return the bottles for the deposit....then with the cash buy hand sanitizer and cut it with orange juice to get drunk.

You liberals just don't get it. You're not good a making good decisions for individuals....and your not good at preventing individuals from making bad choices. You just plain suck.....and in Miminalist case...you swallow too.
