How Many People Around You Receive Food Stamps?

[star seed 7]

red states are attempting to reform it because they hate minorities.

You know, for a guy who is always bitching about the "bigotry" of others, you sure spew a lot of ignorant hate. It's kinda sad.

the ol' "stop being intolerant of my racism and homophobia".  classic.

Is it just me, or are the rest of you also unable to make the leap that since Michelle Obama thinks kids should eat healthier she should be blamed for not reforming something that real politicians won't touch?

that's not what happened.  okcat likes to say stupid things to get a reaction. k-s-u reacted.

That's not the point, as has been explained ad nauseum. Go back and re read the last page or so. Take as much as you need.

I mean you yourself said no one would touch SNAP reform so I don't think this is really an exclusively liberal problem.

there's also the part where apolitcal experts agree that the reform k-s-u is arguing for would be stupid.

[sys]

I'm going to hazard a guess here and say there are a whole lot more white people on EBT than minorities.

you're talking to a board that thinks it's not only acceptable, but actually clever, to disparage people as "poors".

Mom: "Hey kids, you've been putting on some weight.  Time to go on a healthier diet."
Kids: "Well that sounds good and I can agree to eat healthier, but if you're going to tell us to eat healthier you should also replace our leaky roof yourself."
Mom: "...I'm not a roofer.  I don't know how to do that.  It's not my job."
Kids: "eff you hypocrite, go replace our roof.  Can't tell us to eat healthier without fixing the roof too."

That's what I got from the argument that Michelle Obama can be blamed for not reforming food stamps since she encourages children to eat healthier.

I mean this in all honesty, but I am (was) too big of a coward to say anything about how much this "poors" crap bothered me.

I have died a thousand deaths on this board.

Yes, an excellent analogy as only a libtard, or someone with an IQ that is roughly the equivalent of their age, could formulate. I just can't beat this. I officially surrender the internet. :whiteflag:

So, it was off to the gourmet section of the grocery store, as Greenslate purchased sushi and lobster with his EBT card. “All paid for by our wonderful tax dollars,” he said, telling Roberts that’s what he typically buys.

“This is the way I want to live and I don’t really see anything changing,” Greenslate said. “It’s free food; it’s awesome.”

I've kind of started to lean that way, myself. It seems like it would lower food prices.
