The good news is 95% of this group has cell phones on plans, 99% have cable or satellite television programming, and 70% wear tennis shoes costing in excess of $125.

(13 percent of Americans will rely on food stamps to avoid going to sleep hungry this holiday season. )

Our country is dying quickly. Only the return to the right ways of Jesus Christ can save us from untimate doom and destruction now.

The cost of feeding the approximately 44.7 million Americans who relied on food stamps last year cost the US government a record $72 billion.

Divide $72Billion by $3Trillion and this total expenditure is bupkus. We ALL should get SNAP.

I every working family DEMANDED welfare food, phones, ect....

Would this be a form of TAX NULLIFICATION?

We should take back as much as we can, as quick as we can, that way we accelerate the collapse and make sure the rebuilding happens on our terms.

For another four years AT LEAST stories about the homeless, hungry or underemployed will be IMPOSSIBLE for the MSM.

There will be a constant pressure to cover up for the failed blackPresident.

A journalist who pursues stories of this type will be shunned “Why are you always WHINING about the homless...?!!”

Presstitutes are COWARDS and it took a RUSSIAN to write this story.

Modern USA = Old USSR?

About 42.2 million Americans will eat on a budget of $1 to $1.25 per meal this Thanksgiving as the number of people enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program remains high, found a new report by The Sunlight Foundation, a nonprofit government watchdog group.

BULLSHIT!*

Perhaps, but only if "Supplemental" Nutrition Assistance were the ony welfare program that they receive freebies from.
The way the bureaucracy workers/welfare scam works, if the losers have fewer than 5 programs going for welfare help, something is wrong.

Both we welfare complex and the taker culture keep insisting that the rest of us are stupid. Unfortunately, they and the criminals they've elected are now in charge.

“Both the liar and the honest man must have regard for truth, the former to subvert it and the latter to propagate it. Bullshit, by contrast, is fundamentally unconcerned with truth or falsehood, but only with appearance, effect and persuasion, however transitory. Yuri Luzhkov was not accusing the Moscow weather forecasters of lying, or yet of trying to predict the weather and honestly failing; he was accusing them of not caring about the true weather. The essence of bullshit is getting away with it, with persuading listeners or readers of a sincerity that is, by definition, phoney. The bullshit artist simply does not care about truth: “He pays no attention to it at all,” writes Professor Frankfurt. “By virtue of this, bullshit is a greater enemy of truth than lies are.”

*Bullshit

Well, I was thinking bloody revolution to wash out the crap from the gene pool. When I say crap, I meant liberals and dumocraps.

There is nothing American about forcing your neighbor to pay your way, especially in the most charitable Nation in the world. This is what happens when you replace God with the state. Further, it doesn't cost the government anything; the money is ours.

Between the frozen birds, the moochers and the US taxpayers they all bear the label of ‘Turkeys’ —but for obvious different reasons.

I wondered if these sleazeballs, the so-called Sunlight Foundation, is a Soros-funded subversive group...

BINGO!

That a*****e Soros is everywhere!

You are correct. Our church delievered a box of the fixings for Christmas, and I volunteered to help deliver.

I was so mad when I got back, I swore NEVER again. Those people, my gosh, 4 or 5 people all over the place and not one of them attempted to help get the groceries themselves. LIFTED NOT ONE finger to help.

I had to load those groceries up the steps to their apartments, and they standing around with those (sh.t eating grins), as if to say, hey hey whitey woman, you be our slave.

Not only that, but they manage to hit every food bank in the city for their goods.

The church I serve shut down their food pantry before I arrived because of rotten attitudes...I was approached by a woman one afternoon who asked if we had any food.

Since we did, I took her back to the back room. Without asking, she grabbed a large box and basically pushed a whole shelf into the box, then told - not asked - me to carry it out to the car for her.

I was already agitated, then she asked me for money. I said I didn’t have any, and she looked me up and down and said, “Are you sure?”

Needless to say, she got a lecture of how some of us have to work two jobs to not only support ourselves, but others through taxes.

Liberals would change their tune if they actually had to get in the trenches instead of sitting in the coffee shops...

At least they get to have Thanksgiving dinner and something to be truly thankful for.

An observation last night picking up a few last minute items at a Supermarket.

I was behind this non-english speaking father and two kids, buying last minute items too. He whipped out his EBT card and paid for it...I thought, ‘yup, using taxpayer money, I’m paying for that’

I paid cash.

When I was done with my transaction and was leaving the store, they were still there, they walked out ahead of me.
The Salvation Army bell was ringing away, he put some hard-working taxpayer money in the pot...and I thought “I just donated to the Salvation Army”

Guess that’s how the Trickle-Down Economy of today is supposed to work.

I did not donate to the pot - he already did for me.
