it doesn't help that all these illegal immigrants are getting free handouts

Nor help disabled vets when illegal aliens, disease carrying free-loaders, convicted criminals and even murderous terrorists all get FASTER FREE Health Care ....... Faster than our Wounded Warriors speaks volumes about the VA's massive corruption.

According to Pelosi... with this level of welfare payments - shouldn't the unemployment figures be down around 2%?

Should be 2%. They're government employees.

Just shows how great the real world is ..not the gov talking recovery..aso if your retired or working poor ..you make 11000/yr..you get 16.00$ / mo..yes / month..must ge an illegal to get more..

An I bet thats ssi. Right because what you all don know is ssi is counted as welfare income so now when you go to get foodstamps you get that much. And its really sad but thats what they designed. I know a lot of ederly with this problem. But if I give you health care an prescriptions. For the lowest price I believe that would free up about 137 a month more or even more.. this was obamas thinking. When they did Obama Care.. an if you don like it I can bet you live in the southern states.. itss here to stay there will not be A Republican president untill your party represent the real america. Not old white men an women. The young an diverse minority population. Arabs indians africans Hebrews spanish, chinease, Japanese, cubans, mexicans, rpubs are on there last legg. An all round the world they see it an speaking out against America for its crimes to humanity. Bush need to be on trial for war crimes an torture

At the rate we're going pretty soon we'll have to ask Bangladesh for a hand out.

Did I as just one taxpayer pay for this and some over the many years of paying taxes, yup! I have never wanted to pay taxes and still don't after seeing how our taxpayer dollars are wasted, but I did/do in hopes that it will help pay for a better life in the US for my fellow Americans. Foolish me!

You can not use EBT to buy ready made hot food items such as pizza.
What Pizza establishment sponsored this dribble?

On the contrary. Some states allow fast food establishments do take EBT cards. Just Google "Fast Foods and EBT"

Darla....they can and DO convert Food Stamps/Cards into cash (going rate is 50 cents on the dollar - sometimes only 20 cents on the dollar) and they can then purchase hard drugs, booze, gamble, take vacations/cruises, etc., etc. In short those on welfare can buy anything they want, when they want, where they want......such special advantages are withheld from our Disabled Veterans by the way, by the VA.

Oh the lifestyles of the rich on food stamps.
Where I live the maximum amount for one person is 193.00 a month. (I looked it up).
If they can take cruises on 100.00 a month I need the number to their travel agent.
Yes I do agree the Veterans do need benefit packages and health care improvement.
I have followed this for years.
Last week yet another Veterans Benefit failed in Congress.
"60 votes were needed to waive the budget rule. 41 out of 45 Republicans voted against it and killed the bill."

you know that's why they call it the safety mattress Darla...c'mon you're not that stupid. no. you can't be.

Show me. I think you're blowing smoke.

Benny Baby have some one read a Honolulu newspaper to you slowly.

The business is called Papa Murphy's; at least where I live. They sell "Ready to Cook" pizza. The only difference from this and a "Frozen" pizza is that they make it the way you want it. Then you take it home and put it in the oven. My family loves this business.

This pizza establishment (I just found out) has a sign in their window that says after you pay for the pizza to hand it back and they bake it.

I didn't believe the guy saying this and I looked it up.
Unlike him It doesn't matter to me what kind of legally allowed food a person buys with an EBT
I mind however when business are taking advantage for profit.

That would be a problem. We have one here and they don't even have an oven to cook it in.

profit is what makes this world go 'round. stop being a weenie darla

As you can see - the big lie that the liberals tell that supply side economics is bad, big government is good couldn't be further from the truth. Look at the stats. Big government is great for the wealthiest 1% as is evident by the results of Obama's economic policies.

Bush was the last president who really boosted the size of Big Federal Government thanks to the patiRIOT Act..

No but can probably arrange something for you.....

Bwwaaahhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaa!!! That was nothing compared to the government taking over 1/6 of the economy with Odipchitcare, then they also FUBAR'ed the financial sector with Dodd/Frank. Been working for 9 months to get an FHA mortgage and it is a pain like you wouldn't believe. They have added so much extraneous BS it isn't even funny. I know I'll never be looking for another one.

Over 50 million PARASITES, these rabid animals are now rioting...

Well if the upper class wasn't busy destroying the middle class and widening the income gap and outsourcing our jobs to communist nations...well.. SNAP wouldn't be needed as badly. ;)

Michael, open your eyes - it's the Government causing the problem. They put Unreasonable Demands on Businesses and expect them to Lose money rather than make a profit. Business are just reacting the way the government wants them to.

Michael - both parties are to blame - they both will be happy when there are two classes of people, the "ruling elites" and the "serfs". Sadly there are too many sheeple in this Country for anything to stop it.

Makes me upset knowing a mother is on foodstamps and kids on medicaide than her two boys have a kid each of their own and yet on medicaide still and on their moms foodstamps. They should be taken out of benefits once they got yheir own kids, if they are old enough for kids they should be old enough to support themselves not have mom claiming them still...

Where you live because it doesnt work like you all think. Food stamp program is in the farm bill not welfare. You all forget welfare reform . Like this.. 300 dollars a month no matter the number of kids. For 2 yrs life time. An medicaid if your state has an exchange plan up an running due to. ACA. you should be eligible for medicaid if income is lower than 70.000y. A married couple with kids..an if you are making under 37.000 dollars a year. You are in poverty. An can get food stamps.Mc Donalds pays avg. 8.00 hour20-30h.. aweek= 960 a month.x 12= 11.520 a year. Welfare. 300= 3600y+ fs family of 3 single 2 kids= 480m =5.070y total... 8.670y. Now heres the question which one of you people on here low grading your own people. Want to trade places an raise children with this type of budget. Get real an you people c laim to be christians an better than others in this world all ways look at yourself before you talk about some one else.. Hypocritical people

You still talking like you have some kind of RIGHT to other peoples money/property. It's wrong, un-American to steal from one group of people and hand it to another.

An futher more. Give up your white privileged. Naw yall keep it. It curses your whole blood line. Yall better read the bible you say you believe In. Now who the real Yahshuah (jesus)coming back for.

Well if thats the case then give back everything this government an people stole from the black indians an red indians an slaves that built this country. See you people like to forget real history. An then turn around like you have moral ground to stand on. Its a false bottom an you still falling. An like I asked which one you will trade your Job for since you think its robbing you.. you cant doit..

Jahson - instead of defending the program and calling people hypocrites, why not recognize the problem is being created by government. Allowing 15 million low skilled, largely uneducated illegals to work and drive down wages for the poorest among us doesn't help either.

More .. how is that klan members yall say they aint christians. But Theses who are working for Israel Masaad. Isis.. you blame muslim people so we blame all christian people for slavery, jim crowe an the most terroristic group in the world. An vile wicked people. Kkk ccc. Tea party all the same rascism. Real history an truth none of theses sickness was spread round the world. Till the destroyer was let out of the bottomless pit bought sickness because they didnt know what a toilet was. Slept with animals an caught animal stds.. syphillis sheep, gonareeah dogs. Everthing I say I can back up with your his-story an science an governmental policy. . So unless you can make your history a lie then be my quest. Now they turning to body snatchers. AMA..

Naw welfare begiven out since 1930s to white people black people did not get welfare till 60s an the mass majority on welfare is whte american women between 18-40.. An I am a contractor an the repubs ushered them in 4 yrs before economy fell. By 3.000.000 a year under bush. An that begin the economic downfall. How is that you all can steal kill enslave segregate lynch, go to sunday school an leave an hang an burn somebody.. create abortion, create aids have more murder an death in this country than any one else on the planet.. An then say God Bless America. Hypocritical narcissistic people. YOU CANT BUY OR LIE TO THE CREATOR. KARMA IS COMING. An we will never forget.

Who hires those illegals?

Red - Anyone can hire them now - Obama Said So.

No it is still against the law. They would not be here if they could not get a job.

Red - I'm not disagreeing with you. However, Obama's Executive Order makes it LEGAL (in his opinion) to hire people who are Not in the US Legally.

Sounds to me like you are anti-life. What were her two boys to do, abort their babies just because they couldnt afford to take care of them? Everyone is entitled to life.

Want to fix it? Pass the Fair Tax, which will get people working again at well paying jobs and off welfare.

No take away the loop holes that corparations have.. using the minority set aside the can outsorce an get up to 15.000 dollar tax credit. Per an indian or phillipino worker they hire. This is taking millions of customer service jobs over seas privy to your info.. easy hacking...

Jahson - educate yourself. The Fair Tax eliminates loopholes for EVERYBODY, corporations included.

Just as planned by O. How about that Hope and Change fundamentally transforming America to a bunch of dependent Democrats.

46,000,000 democrat voters

And thousands more of FED/GOV employees who participate in the fraud/scam/criminal acts/perjury/etc. for job security, sky high wages, paid workless days sometimes watching porno, and of course the top prize a huge cash bonus, as long as no one blows the whistle on the massive Federal corruption and no one goes to prison, crime in government will continue to skyrocket.

Democrat Poem (1949) needs no updating....

Father, must I go to work?

No, my lucky son.

We're living now on Easy Street

On dough from Washington.

We've left it up to Uncle Sam

So don't get exercised.

No one has to give a dam.

We've all been subsidized.

But if Sam treats us all so well

And gives us milk and honey,

Please, dad, tell me what the 'ell

He's going to use for money.

Don't worry, bub, there's not a hitch

In this here noble plan,

He simply soaks the filthy rich

And helps the common man.

But father, won't there come a time

When they run out of cash?

And we have left them not a dime

When things all go to scratch?

My faith in you is shrinking, son,

You nosy little brat,

You do too darn much thinking, son,

To be a Democrat.

Yeah, I wish I were in a situation where I could qualify to get $259 each and every month from the federal government to pay for food for me, my wife and two daughters. We would be eating filet mignon, King salmon, sushi and caviar every other night on that perk. My fridge would be filled with salami, brie, Ben & Jerry's, strawberries, mangos, cantalope, honey crisp apples, tangelos, and with whatever I had left over I would use to buy Patron and Grey Goose. I would go hog wild! What do I have to do to qualify?
