FACT: Every $1 in SNAP benefits generates $1.73 in economic activity, according to Moody's economist Mark Zandi. SNAP not only helps low-income people buy groceries, it frees up cash for other expenses, such as medical care, clothing, home repairs and childcare. That benefits local businesses and their employees, which boosts the economy as a whole.

pretty sure the construction worker would be covered under disability and the poor poor poor worker who lost their job should get a f ing new one
seriously anyone on foodstamps is a loser whom I have zero for
when I was wrokin they were twerkin
Ahhh, so thats how it works is it? You get hurt on a job, you get paid out disability the next day? Get laid off theres a new job waiting for you tomorrow that you are qualified for and pays decent (who knew in this economy).

Funny, I feel the same way about anyone who can so easily judge those who they know nothing about.

I dont know that that is fully accurate. Many illnesses are born in famine and poverty.

There are no illnesses that are contagious that come from malnutrition. So no worries about infecting the healthy well fed people.

Gotta love your compassion. Especially when you refer to it as a free hand out. Insulting much? There are truly poor people in this country. They are not bums looking for a free ride (or most anyway) . Under educated people who can't get a well paying job and they are really trying . The EBT program is a godsend to these folks. Most people on this program would rather pay cash if they had it. Not to mention that every time they grocery shop the cashier knows their social situation and that has to be embarrassing. Come on folks be kinder.

Really try to figure out how the monetary system works before you try and blame people for taking part of your stuff. Less than 1% of the money collected through taxation goes to welfare programs, the rest is wasted by endless wars and un-necessary spending on roads that don't need to be fixed and such.

Maybe you should accept a reduction in lifestyle, that might allow you to get enough rest and not be such a pain, you work to buy things you don't really need whether you want to admit it or not.

I like your "Joe Action Guy" avatar by the way, 20 years ago.
Again, i just dont think that is true. It is a fact that nearly ALL illnesses and disease thrive in areas with famine and poverty. Look at africa. The poorest areas over there have some of the highest illness and disease rates on the planet. And many of those diseases are contagious.
