amen to that daemon!

now, dont get me wrong. i know girls who are in their 20's with 4 and 5 kids and are getting more $$ in food stamps than you would believe. and they have no intentions of ever coming off.

i also know 2 married women with 4 and 5 kids, whos HUSBANDS have skipped out on them, and cant seem to be tracked down to pay child support. im sorry, raising a truckload of kids as a single parent, even with a very good paying job, is difficult. these 2 women are embarassed to no end when they have to use their food stamps. the first one? she will brag about it until your ears fall off. that is where it needs to be monitored better! everyone needs help at times. dont take advantage of it.

not to even mention my cousin sells her food stamps for cash for crack. and the government continues to load her card up every month...kids sitting in the house with no food. hows that for goverment regulated??

and the social services system are still bogged down with cases they can only hope to crack and they pay them peanuts...pretty soon...THEY will be on foodstamps too

Now...u kwow what I found fuuny...watching the clips of these congresspeople trying to eat the meal they got on foodstamps....

They had the nerve to be trying to eat healthy....a salad, some beans and a fatty burger.....

I wanna see a foodstamp family try to eat a salad for 30 days....LOL

21 buxs for most is called a case of ramen noodles, a bag of hotdogs, and some juice to wahs it down

uuuuggghhh.....this is brining back nightmares of undergrad food.

they have been removed and given back to her SEVERAL times. she now has 2 grandchildren...by her 16 and 15 year old daughters. they were knocked up by two grown-a** men (one 26, the other 22) and nobody did anything about it here. they even listed these grown men on the birth certificates, name/age/everything and nothing was done.

we had one of the girls as a foster child for 3 years. we begged to keep her but her mom wanted the check for her (and actually told the social worker that!) and they gave her back. we tried everything, nothing worked...
