still licking your wounds eh.

it would have been no different if romnoid would have won, or do you feel we would be adding a half million manufacturing jobs currently if your posterboy would be in?

unless you're blaming the whole lot, our infamous 535, then you're just blowing smoke up someones ass.

Speculation. Deflection.

My question still stands.

well if you want a guess, i would say by the time obamas term is up so will be our luck, because by then our world financial system will have imploded due mainly to the global banking cartel and their insatiable appetite, for everyone else money. you can still sit in your little corner and pout about the election though, if that makes you feel better.

Your question itself was an exercise in speculation...was is not? Or was it a partisan jab, Beezer?

First, food stamps doesn't always equate to unemployment. There are many working poor.

Let's see 10 million within the last 4 years and another 5-10 million by 2016 when the tax rates and the care act come in to play.

60- 65 million is my guess.

Until the U.S. starts adding tariffs equal to the wage variation on imported goods, you will not see jobs coming back.
Corps push to make sure this does not happen.

Not at all. Currently we have 48 million on foodstamps.

At the end of Obama's second term, will that number be greater, equal to, or less than the 48 million?

A simple question.

Well...should we? It would be nice to live in a world in which a days wage could easily provide for a family, but since the nation has gone from a manufacturing base to a service-industry base wages have fell. Add the devaluation of a dollar and it is easy to see why some people may be having problems.

If starve means, those that have the ability to work, be forced to find funds, outside of the tax payer funded type, to provide for their family, and not steal from my paycheck to do so? Then yes.

People that have no physical means to do so, should be assisted.

Really? I never knew that people are being forced to sell their stuff to support those on foodstamps!

You are right. Why should they give up personal items to feed their family. Just look to teh Govt to steal from others to provide for them.

It's called social responsibility. By each of us helping those in need we keep people off the streets, crime will not increase and people get some food.

Oh, the crime theory again? Sure sure.
It is not my responsibility, via the Govt to provide people with stuff. It is the responsibility of the individual to do so.

Of all the horrible things I can think of that government REALLY has no business in.....we have to complain about foodstamps?

Yes, as it is not the business of the Govt to rob me to bankroll my neighbor.
