Welfare Recipients Go On Walmart Shopping Spree.... 2

A glitch in the system allowed hundreds of EBT cardholders--i.e. freeloaders on the government TEAT--to loot a walmart for several hours in Louisiana.
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-57607332/ebt-benefit-card-glitch-sparks-walmart-shopping-sprees-in-louisiana/
People with EBT cards piling carts full of everything they could when they realized they could get free stuff. If you saw it on the news, they were almost all black also. Isn't it nice? You would think these people would have some self respect and NOT steal. Because that is exactly what happened.
By the way, Yahoo and the MSM buried this one fast.

So kick the offending parties off. Wow, look at that, common sense reforms that don't result in cutting benefits for people who don't abuse the system.
http://moonbattery.com/welfare-stats.jpg -- sounds like a reputible site.
"Number of states where welfare pays more than a $12/hr job. 6"
"Number of states where welfare pays more than an average teacher salary. 8"
Yeah, those stats seem legit. Teachers getting paid less than $12 an hour? No fucking wonder nobody is teaching, they've been turned into glorified baby sitters. Maybe if you were paying teachers to teach, we could fix the problem with an undereducated, underskilled population on welfare.

If you have any reason to doubt the stats from the US Dept of Health and Human Services, US Dept of Commerce let me know. It's their numbers.

The data is also from The Cato Institute, so I would like to know how much of that is Cato data, and how much is government data. Why don't you go to the actual source instead of moonbattery.com?

This glitch has happened before, but not on this scale or for as long. What happens in the end is the benefits for the future months are cut until it is on par. It seems like they set this glitch up on purpose so they can cut the benefits off to all FS recipients, not just the ones abusing the system, deliberately and anger a lot of people at once. All I can say is I hope those people who got away with the carts of groceries learn how to ration...

it's government data interpreted by Cato.

so, ignore it, and go to the gov't websites yourself. they all have data aggregating tools that let you fool around with metrics.

The numbers are the numbers. That is the official data from the US government. You might want to be in denial but do you know what these statistics are actually used for?
They are used to increase funding to government agencies, and to get the pork rolling and extend the government tit because 'things are so bad, there are so many people on welfare'
the sick part of it is that it is the GOVERNMENT that causes the problems they proport to have solutions for.

It's always fun to watch someone try to insult another while being wrong.
SOME of the governments websites are shut down.
Did you even think to try some before jamming your foot into you mouth?

Kindly note you made a blanket statement, which is incorrect, about government websites.
You may also wish to note that memes (you know, the guy you quoted) never mentioned any specific website, nor did he link to one.
Want to try again? Or is two mistakes enough for now?

So? Your commie cunt hero shuts down what he wants to shut down and keeps open what he wants to keep open. I don't imagine the food stamp Pres would keep anything but the "Sign Up For Welfare" sites. Cunt's choice.
