Someone help me here. FEMA is giving out food stamps to people who lost food during Hurricane Irene? You mean like, a MONTH AGO?

WTF?

There was an article posted yesterday that seemed like it was saying that anyone on food stamps in CT was getting a $375 bonus in case they had any food troubles related to Irene.

Did that many people actually lose a month's worth of food in a weekend storm?

Do food stamp recipients really stockpile that much perishable food in their refrigerators/freezers?

“The federally run program offers short-term assistance to those who live in an area that has been declared a disaster by the president. Their household must have sustained a loss of property, income or food due to a flood or power outage.” (Real or imagined?)

Good thing for Barky this happened in a heavily Dem-infested area! *SPIT*

Obama Plan: stand in line waiting for food stamps until the economy turns around. :)

It's Obama’s new LINES CREATE JOBS INITIATIVE. A line forms and somebody gets the job of handing out the food stamps. So help Obama and FORM A LINE in your neighborhood today.

sounds like it was a giant giveaway
Food stamp people had extra money automatically added to their checks/cards. Nonfood stamp people got it by standing in line and applying

no wonder FEMA was “out of money”

WTF?

Freebies draw the morally weak, the despondent and the greedy. They are like free flour meal for mice, rats and roaches. You'll never get rid of the vermin until you put away the "spilled" freebies.

Everything should be kept in closed containers and given out only with care and love. human to fellow human. Freebies like this give-away are absent care and love. They are inhumane and breed inhumanity.

Wonder how many of these parasites would starve to death if their food stamps were to be placed under their work boots?

Licking food stamps is a known cause of the “sikkel cells”.

We “lost” a whole refrigerator full of food to the storm by giving it away to those who had power. Now, we’re not well off people, but no one sent notice to us that we could get a voucher for it, nor will we seek one.

Hey! This ain’t fair. Just $375. Ole Jefferson lost way more than that in his freezer when the power went out. T’aint fair I say.

What is ist with these idiot reporters? Is there anyplace where food stamps are actually handed out still? Don’t these people just get debit type cards? Or am I the idiot?

Didn’t really think Hawaiian Punch and Pork Rinds would spoil but what do I know. Another taxpayer funded giveaway...

I bought a bunch of ice on the expectation that I would lose power, but I never did. Shouldn’t I be reimbursed by FEMA for that ice?
