    Assuming it would be less expensive (I think it would be), why not just replace food stamps with a weekly package of essential food like food banks give out on Thanksgiving?

    This system where grocery stores and gas stations compete with other over business with huge ass "WE ACCEPT THE LONESTAR CARD!" signs isn't working.
    LOL gas stations all let you buy cigarettes and booze with those cards. One of my friends who worked in one in between real jobs said the clerks didn't give a , and would ring that up as milk, cereal, crackers, all kinds of . Had people coming and buying their meth pipes with Lonestar cards.

    Obama gon' pay for my gas!


    Last weekend I witnessed my (well not really "my") first lonestar card purchase. It almost made me become a Republican. Big fat black lady had a cart full of unhealthy but namebrand food, swipped her card, then had to pay like a total of $11 in actual cash.
    Only comparable to being next in line and the old lady pulling out the checkbook from her purse, spending the next 5 mins writing out the check...

    What, did she buy a pack of Newports and hold everyone up in line even further?
    Actually they were traveling in packs. She had another black beast with her who bought all the stuff that the Lonestar card didn't cover.

    there was actually an older white lady in line who was bringing the subtle troll goods by repeatedly mentioning "How expensive all that food looked!"

    The worst part is I still think the Disabilities Act is getting pimped even worse than food stamps are. 1 in 6 Americans on food stamps doesn't outrage me nearly as much as 1 in 13 Americans on disabilities.

    The disabilities act isn't even supposed to be a "safety net", that's the thing. The number of people on disabilities shouldn't fluctuate depending on the economy, there's a certain amount of people who qualify that doesn't relate to the economy imo.

    The safety nets aren't the problem. The problem is the abuse of the safety nets.

    Yup. As is the amount of people who need the safety nets as a % of the total population.

    there was a 60 Minutes special on that like a week ago. i never knew it was that bad but considering the welfare abuse, i shouldn't be surprised.

    I know that in the last 20 years it's gone from 1 in 51 people to 1 in 13 people. That alone says it all.

    Agreed, but the govt runs them, so there's going to be widespread abuse

    There's always going to be certain degree of abuse. I wouldn't necessarily call it widespread.

    Foodstamps specifically do historically go up and down based on the state of the economy.

    Plus, who else is going to run this stuff? A for-profit company? Charities don't have billions of bucks a year either.
