The goal is failure.

[MrB]

All according to plan.

And the Sheeperals still tout “sustainability” with regard to the environment.

“This report once again confirms that because of the spineless republicans in the house and senate allowing him to President Obama has severely gutted the welfare work requirements that Americans have overwhelmingly supported since President Clinton signed them into law,” Cantor said in an emailed statement.

Yep! Cloward-Piven.

47 percenters...

There are 47 million people on food stamps now. I don’t get the numbers in the article. The article mentions “adults” but something doesn’t sound right.

[jennings2004]

You put Speaker Boner and Minority Leader McConnell in the “spineless” category? You do know this might hurt their feelings don’t you? /s

You don't have to donate money to the Romney campaign to make a difference. (You should donate money to FreeRepublic.)

I've made 1600 phone calls from home to New Hampshire in the last six days using the system set up by the campaign. Even 100 calls will make a difference. Who will join me?

Mark Steyn pointed out last night that the combined population of Canada and Australia equals the number of folks on food stamps. Very Sobering!

There are two possibilities.

He's insane and keeps trying to do the same thing over and over hoping for a different outcome.

or

He is intentionally destroying the economy.

There is no third choice.

To believe he is insane you would have to believe ALL dems that follow this madness are insane too, which isn't likely.

The only logical conclusion, they are intentionally destroying the economy.

[GeronL]

to Democrats this is a good thing

[Iscool]

The only logical conclusion, they are intentionally destroying the economy.

Let's not forget the House of Representatives which is mostly Republicans...Obviously they have their hands in this as well...We don't have a Democrat problem...We have a government problem...

[baddog 219]

Hey... Crack, meth, Boones Farm, and hookers cost money.

[mouser]

I know those calls tend to tick me off and everyone I know feels the same way

The only thing worse is the ones knocking on your door to tell you who to vote for.

Mailed stuff not so bad.

[dalebert]

also increase in student loans but not students

Does this mean that able-bodied adults (like me) can now get food stamps? Because if that is the case I am going to apply.

Before you start screaming “moocher 47 percenter”, think about it this way: food stamps to me are just a way of offsetting the Fed inflation tax implemented by the oblunder administration (and don’t EVEN suggest the Fed doesn’t work hand in hand with oblunder’s Treasury).

I deserve food stamps. And so do all Americans.
