I saw it first hand for years.....no Benz but maybe a late model Honda, $150.00 nail jobs and hair weaves, but couldn’t pay for reduced rent via Sec. 8 or their electric bill. Also, very happpy to pick up a box of food with meat and veggies.

It seems it would be easy not to have the Government Plantation feed you... Get a job.. If one job is not enough, Get a second job..

As long as police aren't locking people up for it, you mean?

But you'd agree there are some folks that can't do that, yes? Elderly with little to no savings not making it on SS. Special needs folks who may only have a job making low pay, or no job at all. There are certainly people in this country that could use the help of the collective, unfortunately, that is lost on people that abuse the system.
Great idea. Going to cut down considerably on the fraud opportunities within the program. A couple of lead contractors to run the thing rather than tens of thousands of corner groceries. Also, this will fix the problem of 'food deserts'. According to the mysterians, poor people are fat because dont have access to healthy food as there are no grocery stores in poor neighborhoods. With this home delivery program, poverty is no longer going to be an obstacle to getting healthy food. Also, rather than paying the inflated prices of neighborhood grocery stores, this will be available through large retailers in competitive contracts. No more $5/gallon milk close to expiration date from a cooler in the back of a convenience store.
This is great on so many levels. Just put it in an amazon box and nobody will be able to tell who is poor and who orders his bread from whole foods.
I don’t think anyone is arguing that point, but we have a system that is ripe with fraud and corruption and it needs fixing.
Just that thought of that makes me all teary eyed. And just think what another seven years will do to him...he'll be a sobbing quivering mass of gelatin. Oh..wait...he already is that..
We have a system that has been totally perverted..from being a safety net to being a Dem vote production and power-maintenance operation on a gargantuan scale.

I agree, just contesting the idea that anyone who can't should get a job. That's incredibly short sighted.

It would not be smaller or larger. Instead of giving cash, it would give, you know, food. If the program is to pay for food, why not just buy the food?

Thats what Family, Community Outreach and the Church are for. Its not the taxpayer responsibility.
I'm watching the news and they're being so ####ing stupid about this delivered food idea. "Oh, how's it going to be shipped??? How can you ship produce without it going bad??" Good grief, don't you people have local grocery stores?? "Oh, why should the government decide what people should eat??" Maybe because the government is paying for it? "What about if people have allergies??" You work it out, for ####'s sake. Why is this hard???
I thought about reading this thread but I'm pretty sure the usual suspects are being ####ing stupid, too, and I'll want to choke their dumb asses out.

Been working on your two-handed grip strength? Hope so..
