Food Stamps = Vote Buying

[Monello]

Mitt Romney said the uncomfortable part out loud.

"There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president(obama) no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it -- that that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what. ... These are people who pay no income tax. ... [M]y job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."

SNAP recipients 2001 ~17.3 million people
January 2009 ~ 32 million - When obama comes into office
2013 peak ~ 47.6 million - Record high under obama
Currently November 2025 ~ 41.7 million

Right now the economy isn't 2.5 times worse than what it was in 2001. So why the massive increase in folks on the food dole? Dems know that people on assistance will vote for them regardless of who the candidate is.

Takers are drawn to the party that paints them as victims. No way would they take the conservative road where you are held personally responsible for your own actions. Playing the victim takes a lot less work & energy.

I sincerely hope the people that truly need help get some assistance. And the program scammers are kicked off and disqualified from future benefits.

Gurps may have posted this somewhere but I didn't see it.

Well, a fresh report from the Government Accountability Office throws a harsh spotlight on what they were really defending. Investigators set up fake applicants and let the federal marketplace do its thing. The system welcomed them with open arms. Officials approved subsidies for 90% of those phantoms.

This probably shouldn't surprise anyone. There's very little oversight going on in our government, or any government. Look at what's going on in Minnesota - more than a BILLION dollars of our tax money stolen in Somali scams. It's impossible that MN government officials weren't in on it and taking their cut. And it's also impossible that whoever at Treasury approved those funds didn't get greased as well.

It's a den of thieves.

And PS, used to fund a Somali terrorist group.

No one bought my vote, ever.

It would lower food costs if rich people didn't claim the tax breaks for not growing food.

It would lower health care costs if doctors wouldn't spend so much time in court defending their fu*k ups.

It would lower world tensions if people would treat others as they would like to be treated.

We wouldn't have abortions to pay for with public funds if the world was a better place. Women would rather kill babies than raise them in this mean world.

No one bought my vote, ever.

I voted for the person I thought might lower the budget by making the world a better place.

Oh, and I have a way to get the doctors out of court.... and pay for their fu*k ups... and improve health care and lower the costs too!

See, I think more of locusts than roaches. Locusts unabashedly strip a landscape.
