They are using the wrong acronym.

Instead of ABAWD, it should be PWPTVO (People Who Promise To Vote Obama)

We lowered the import tariffs and offshored all the jobs.

If government policy takes away the jobs, then government should feed them.

It’s more important to our government and the free traders to keep the Chinese employed than to keep our own people employed.

I could if I weren't forced at gunpoint to share what I worked for with them.

It’s not the Food Stamp Program that’s the problem. It’s the Obozo Policies that created the problem. People have no jobs................

Exactly what is a food stamp roll? Can you make a sandwich with it? Can you toast it & put butter on it? Is it a certain amount of coins inserted into a cylindrical tube? Can’t anyone spell anymore?

Food stamps are just welfare. It is money taken from someone to buy votes for Democrat politicians.

Food stamp spending today is roughly $80 billion, double what it was in Fiscal Year 2008.

Does that total include the massive big gov administration costs and state costs and contributions? Typically the fed requires states to provide matching funds, doubling the total taxpayer cost, and does not include gov employee/retiree costs which are very substantial.

There was a story about single hipsters getting food stamps so they continue their lifestyle and not have to actually grow up.

Guess who the “underemployed” are? All those people the government doesn’t count as unemployed because they work a crappy part time job? Or two? And qualify for food stamps? ABAWDs.

“If people don’t want to work , we cannot let them go hungry.”

What about the people that want to work, but can’t find jobs in the Obamanation? The leftist intent is to get as many Americans enslaved by government and onto welfare and assistance as possible. And their plan is working splendidly. But first they had to destroy the job market. Check.

A lot of these able-bodied, childless adults on food stamps are college students. There was a huge push a few years back to sign up as many college students as possible to expand the program. It’s still not acceptable. Moochers are moochers, whether they’re in college or on welfare.

Oh, “Yes We Can!”

If they do not work, neither shall they eat.

I had food stamps for awhile. Couldn’t find a job. Still don’t have a real job. Found a way to have a roof over my head, bills paid & about $1,000 a month for food & necessities.

Glad I’m off food stamps. It is embarrassing.

Feel sorry for those in a similar predicament. However, to see people buy some of the things they buy with FS infuriates me. Raised 3 little girls by myself when I was younger. Never asked for nothing. We skimped and could not afford the best, but we lived within our means and thanked God everyday for what we had.

blessings,

When things got bad Roman emperors would give away food to the masses and have horse racing, chariot racing and gladiators matches open to the public for free. They called it Bread and Circuses.

Now we call it EBT and the NFL.
