Its going to be tough to barter fruits and veggies for smokes and booze

How about they only allow Food Stamps to be used on WIC foods? This extra money for fruits and veggies is insane. It means that those who were already eating responsibly will be able to afford junk food and healthy food.

This is not a personal statement about you, jazusamo.

All spending bills originate in the House of Representatives. Why didn’t the Republican-controlled House allow this atrocity through?

While it is the brain-child of FLOTUS, it couldn’t of happened without House Republicans.

Were I a primary candidate in the previous election, I would have brought this issue up.

Moosechelle, flushes, and toilet should never be mentioned in the same sentence. The thoughts are unimaginable.

Yes, but the money is being spent to make fruits and veggies available even though the recipients aren’t buying them. It’s reminiscent of most of the healthy foods served in schools going into the garbage, the kids don’t eat it.

Like most “redistribution” programs pushed by the left,
what the recipient receives is not of concern.

The main concern is taking it away from the taxpayer in the first place.

Powdered Milk, 5 lbs bag of flour, Large Can of Pinto Beans and a brick of Government Cheese.

Your weekly allotment.

There, you have been fed by the taxpayer.

Want more? Pay for it yourself.

In the big scheme of things, the Obama scheming, waste , fraud, abuse makes getting upset about a few paltry millions of bucks worth fruit and veggies being trashed like getting a speeding ticket at the Indy 500

What pisses me off is the media will use this to tout how much O’bastard is doing to give the poor healthy food.

They won’t bother to mention the fact that the amount is so tiny it’s meaningless.

The only reason that we have “food deserts” in the middle of major cities is that the collapse of civilization there makes everyone afraid to operate a food store there.

No.
The program is succeeding wildly.
Welfare pimp organizations are getting their payoff- and that’s what counts.

And the sheeperal will feel so good about themselves for being Obama supporters - “see how much he cares? I’m a good person for supporting him”

and they DON’T WANT to examine the fact that this is a meaningless gesture.
