Food Stamps in the US are being cut

I don't mind this. It seems that almost all of the people I've met that get food stamps just straight up sell them for cash.

Of course, people that actually use food stamps legitimately will not like this idea.
Thoughts?

They are cutting them so the money can be diverted to The First Lady's agenda of healthy food at schools shit.
The democrats voted for this diversion but now are back-tracking to try and change that.

Quote:
Food stamps are far from an extravagant benefit. The average allocation is $1.40 per person per meal. (Try it some time.) A few years ago, the program was renamed SNAP, for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, to give it a more positive facade, but that headed off not a whit of anger at the notion that hordes of freeloaders were getting benefits they didn't deserve or were electing to become dependent on food stamps rather than get a job.
Quote:
Of the roughly 47 million Americans on food stamps, nearly half are children.
But his most spectacular and dangerous move was to urge the inclusion of the Southerland amendment. Among other things, this amendment gave hard-strapped states a financial incentive to throw people off the food-stamp program by allowing them to pocket half the federal funds that would have been spent on food stamps and use them any way they wished.
A few days after the food-stamp bill passed, he told a group of unemployed people at a job-training center in Washington, D.C., "I believe work is the greatest gift that you will receive."
it allowed states to deny or terminate an entire family's food-stamp benefits if a parent wasn't employed or enlisted in a job-training program – even if there weren't any jobs or training programs in the vicinity. It forbade waivers, thus closing the trap on the able-bodied unemployed in areas where jobs are scarce.

not sure what you are trying to say, but either way food stamp recipients have went way up under Obama...BUT that is the point of his presidency, to make as many people as possible depend on the government.
More food stamp recipients = more votes for democrats

I understand that, but if she works 2 jobs AND is on welfare, but still can't get by she is making some bad decisions apparently.

QFT
Food stamps were a life saver when I had them. It's a shame people abuse them , but people have been breaking the law (abusing the gov./abusing tax $) since its existence and always will. That's pretty unfair to those who use them legitimately.
Ehh what can you do life will never be fair anyway

I obviously don't know, but it seems that she is just living outside of her means if 2 jobs and dr00g money can't cut it

No one should have to work that much anyway to make a living. I understand people have it way worse in other parts of the world but it still is insanity.
