The solution to the problem is simple. Just end food stamps. Just end welfare. All of it. Period.

I only wonder how soon that will happen, not “if”.

All welfare/HUD/WIC/Food stamps/energy assistance/earned whatever they are credits/etc ALL NEED TO END. If they don’t wind them down voluntarily, they’ll stop all of a sudden at some point and the result will be as in “When the Music Stops” by Matt Bracken.

I just can’t believe how horrible it’s getting, fast. With no solution or plan or way out in sight.

Hard-working Americans wondering why they have to work so hard to make ends meet. Because they’re making everyone else’s ends meet.

Your tax dollars at work.

I’m sure a LOT of them are. Really a lot. But Bloombutt has declared NYC a sanctuary city, so the rightful legal residents are forced to subsidize and accommodate these low-lifes who have no business being here in the first place. They are busy committing DUI’s that Americans won’t, rapes Americans won’t, murders Americans won’t, and stealing us blind in benefits, seats in already overcrowded and underfunded schools, hospital care in ERs, who aren’t allowed to ask if you’re an illegal, etc.

I don’t know why I’m surprised. But I am.
