i wouldnt even take it if i could

i have a job and i can make do without leaning on the goverment for every penny

people use ebt cards to buy candy and frozen pizza garbage

welfare should let you buy bread and water
I don't have any kids and the last things purchased on my EBT card were Tofurkey, bread, cheese, milk, eggs, juice, and lettuce. Why would you want people buying water? Crazy

Quote from thecutupkid :
and disability. 3/4 of the people on disability shouldnt!!!
I don't know the numbers, but when the Reagan administration tried to clamp down hard on Social Security disability payouts, it was found that almost all the recipients were legitimate cases, and one example shown in a documentary (probably on PBS or CBS) was a 50-55 man who had been turned down for several jobs because of his physical condition. He was in really bad shape -- several operations on his abdomen, had to sit on the floor because chairs were too painful, and he seemed at least 10 years older than his age.

If you really want to get rid of welfare, put people back to work by restoring sound government, that is the kind we had with Bill Clinton and Dwight Eisenhower, and reverse the idiotic ideas advocated by Reagan and GW Bush, especially GW Bush, who turned tax cutting into virtually a fundamentalist religion. Do this before the radicals turn the whole nation into the deep South and California Central Valley.

I love welfare. I'm trying to get polygamy passed in my state so I can have more kids and more welfare. 1 child every 9 months doesn't cut it when trying to maintain the standard of living I have.

Nope, I know they'll look fine. I have a good dr. I'm just freaking out about the recovery.

I'll believe up to 500 calories or so, but not 1,100 for one dollar.

What does it being paper versus an EBT card have to do with anything? Scratchhead
When it was paper food stamps, it was easier to sell them to get drug/booze money Dontknow

I've told this story but ill tell it again. When wife and I got married we went to what google said was the right state building to get her name changed. Well it was the wrong address and we were unknowingly at the wellfare application place. Saw nothing but moms with nice cars with teenagers inside all playing on their iphones and droids while the moms are arguing who has less in their bank accounts (like it was a competition). Yes these people were all collecting benefits, I couldn't believe it. Get rid of the nice cars and smart phones, you dont need them to survive...
