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.
Food Stamps ,Democrats Bribing Voters ?
There are 45 million on food stamps, this will buy them each one small apple per year.
Eat it slow chump!
because there were no affordable healthy things to eat
?????
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.
Is Colorado POT a fruit or a vegetable?
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.
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.
My strip club now has a vegetable stand!
I guess those uppity obamas have never heard of fatback. They eat what they eat because it tastes good. And pork fat makes everything taste good.
Ho Hum...
Just another Obama Wealth Redistribution scam.
Got this in an email last week...
This was written by a 21 yr. old female who gets it. It’s her future she’s worried about and this is how she feels about the social welfare big government state that she’s
being forced to live in! These solutions are just common sense in her opinion. This was in the Waco Tribune Herald, Waco, Tx.
PUT ME IN CHARGE ...
Put me in charge of food stamps. I’d get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho’s, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.
Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I’d do is to get women Norplant birth control implants or tubal ligations. Then, we’ll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine. If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, or smoke, then get a job.
Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks? You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your “home” will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your own place. In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a “government” job. It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you. We will sell your 22-inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the “common good.”
Before you write that I’ve violated someone’s rights, realize that all of the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules. Before you say that this would be “demeaning” and ruin their “self esteem,” consider that it wasn’t that long ago that taking someone else’s money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem. If we are expected to pay for other people’s mistakes we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.
I love this one.
AND
While you are on Gov’t subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes, that is correct. For you to vote would be a conflict of interest. You will voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a Gov’t welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job.
Anybody seen what is bought with EBT? It isn’t fruits and vegetables.
And yet magically it is Social Security that is "running out of money" and the military that gets pay cuts.
Plenty of cash for the gimmiedats.
