If this is a pic of Mr. Tillman, he does not look like he needs to steal food.

From an accounting standpoint, my liability never ends.

For the love of -—, when are we going to end this idiotic “war on drugs” i.e. Prohibition II? It serves no purpose other than to line the pockets of corrupt politicians and cops. The only other beneficiaries as far as I can tell have been organized crime syndicates, the prison industry and the funeral industry.

It has not even slightly dented the rate of dug abuse/addiction in these United States. Drug abuse is a public health problem. Trying to turn a health crisis into a crime is not just stupid, it is immoral.

Yes let the law abiding now formally subsidize the felon class.

They call it the “Lunch Money for Bullies” program.

All’s good. Drug dealers are more than happy to take fully charged EBT cards in lieu of cash, at a discount, of course.

“You want to know what this was really all about? The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

-Former White House Counsel and Assistant to the President for Domestic Affairs under President Richard Nixon.

Wow we need to get that guy on an exercise program. It would surely help his bipolar mood problems and likely his bad back also.

If Tillman had been convicted of robbery, burglary or another crime, he could be eligible for the federal assistance.

I've got to admit, that doesn't make sense.

Somebody I am trying to help get back on their feet used to do drugs and is now getting ssi payments. They are always out if food and myself and others who know them help them and their kids out...but they get penalized for our help if it goes above a certain amount by deductions from the ssi check. They also get penalized if they earn more than eight five bucks a month. And if they earn 1130 in a particular month they are off the program. Their skills are not worth much atm so they work under the table for people that rip them off by paying them a hundred bucks a week for full time work...and often not paying them at all. But they keep working and are always hungry. They want to get on their feet and go legit but the way they are scared of losing ssi then getting fired and not eating at all.

poppycock...Anyone can find something to do to earn a few bucks, mow lawns, wash cars, collect aluminum, baby sit, pick vegetables and fruit, work for local park departments, shovel snow in season, vacuum and otherwise clean your local church after services...we have a local guy here, with a beater pickup truck who picks up from alleys etc, anything that looks to have a value....hauls it to local recyclers and gets what he can for it.
