House Votes To Cut Food Stamps By $2 Billion

[jephrius]

"It's too big, it's too harsh and it's going to hurt so many people," McGovern said of the food aid cuts.

it's going to hurt a lot of kids.  stupid fucks!  

even 3rd world countries don't cut their food programs to the poor.

Why do you always have to mention these other shit countries? How long before you start talking about "mulattas"? Idiot.

By the way... It's really annoying to constantly be in line at the grocery behind black women (who always walk slow trying to hold someone up) who are dressed in expensive name brand clothing, that pay with their Food Stamp card.  

You then follow them out and they're driving an M Class Mercedes.

Pretty much. But it isn't just black people. Everybody just sells the shit here for 40-50 cents on the dollar.

There is no way in America 1 in 7 need food stamps.

[jon cole]

There is no way in America 1 in 7 need food stamps.

with the high rate of obesity on poor people i think the cut is a good thing.

[G_Thang]

There is no way in America 1 in 7 need food stamps.

why not?  6 in 7 are overfed.

[MP]

That's when this country will fail because there isn't enough workers paying taxes to make this country work for the takers.

This. This. This.

[G_Thang]

i just read the world in general is expected to get into big troubles as far food and its prices go if the population grows as expected till 2050.

How you figure that?  Mexicans can rap anything in a Tortilla. 

[Shockwave]

Luckily here in the pacific nw we don't have huge numbers of blacks. I noticed they are bad drivers and drive shitty cars. And I think the reason for walking slow is they just want to "chill". Not in a hurry when you don't have a job.

Illegal Mexicans are the worst up here, those fucks will literally drive 20 mph in a 45 and take up two lanes. I seriously have almost climbed out of my car and attacked one of these worthless morons.

Welfare for the Mega Agriculture Companies as well as large corporations and the rich wastes a lot more of your taxpayer dollars than food stamps.

Food stamps and such is really a drop in the bucket when compared to corporate welfare.

As mentioned above, welfare for "farmers" is really welfare for giant agriculture corporations. The handouts are based on acreage.

Looking at the numbers, in fiscal year 2011, 36.6% of people on foodstamps are white, 22.8% are black (non-hispanic), 9.6% hispanic, 2.4% Asian.

I always hear all this complaining about this race and that race on food stamps. Here are your numbers. Whites will try to spin this and say because they are over 50% of the population more of them are bound to be on food stamps...bullshit. We're not looking at that, just raw numbers and whites have the most.

oh brother, you just opened pandora's box.  the wiki bitches like adonis and stark will try to refute evidence, even if it is factual.

[liberty]

Here in Massachusetts we give out more welfare than Texas and Florida even though their populations are much bigger than ours.
In the great state of Maine there are more people on welfare than people that pay taxes...
Overrun with free loaders.......FUCKED

[shootfighter1]

Good, this program has grown far more than it was supposed to.  They said they increased funding because of the recession...so it is appropriate to take that increase away...but when you give people free shit, its so hard to take it away.  At least raise the eligibility for food stamps.  College kids are getting food stamps...that is what loans and side jobs are for.

[shootfighter1]

1 in 7 Americans now dependent on government food stamps?  That is outrageous!

[Wiggs]

Anyone referencing wiki should be put in a camp. These are directly from the government. The only argument they'll have is percentages which don't matter. Just sheer numbers under the SNAP program. They beat second place by 14% that's alot. So if whites are complaining about "minorities" draining the system, they should look to their own poor people first.

i think you forget one stat.
race unknown = 18.4% =  black not african american.

so black = 22.8 + 18.4 = 41.2 %


Most important thing, black ppl represent only 13% of the total population but 22.8% (or 41.2%) of welfare user.
So of course the number of white on welfare is higher, cos they represent 72% of population.
nummber must be used in their context.

[liberty]

Total number of people on welfare - 4.3 million
Total number of people on SSDI -  8.8 million

Oh my back.....

[GigantorX]

Oh my back.....

SSDI is where the disenfranchised unemployed are hidden.

There is an entire legal industry based around getting people on it.

Sad fuckin article right there.....
Read the Jahleel story under 'kids'   

[Henda]

Why cant food stamps only be used for basic foods like rice and beans and waybe the oddbag of oats or potatoesif their lucky?

[Man of Steel]

 NO one should be hungry in the USA

 NO one should be hungry in this World period

There's even enough excess in the USA to feed the World.

If anything dollars should be added to the food stamp budget.

Quit making shit up Frenchy....Taken directly from footnotes of table A21. "i
This category includes the following values: Unknown; Not recorded on the application for this individual; The application was not found during the QC review, therefore racial/ethnic data is not available."

So no, Blacks = 22.8% on welfare.
As I stated, this isn't about % of Americans are black or white. This is about sheer SNAP numbers. Quit making excuses for whites.
