There Has Never Been A Greater Portion Of America Living On Food Stamps
Friday's jobs data proves it - America is back baby!!! Or is it all totally manipulated statistical shenanigans? A quick glimpse at the following charts two rather uncomfortably 'non-recovery-like' lines - of structural unemployment and the percent of the US population of Food Stamps - would suggest that for much of America, the recovery never happened... and in fact has got worse...

But trending down!
I am comforted.
Can you say Cloward-Piven? It rhymes with coward-snivellin'.
This is the difference between La France and America.
In France, if you have a job, you get what amount to food stamps for restaurants, to help pay for your lunch and libations, a subsidy that began in the depression, and like all government programs, is immortal.
In America, if you have a job, you get bent over the table.
Right - Berfore this the poor were starving.
No, they Gleaned.
The Gleaners and I, an excellent movie...

The FSA ocupies both ends of the spectrum, and the young get screwed the worst.
No, the poor get screwed the worst. Same as it ever was.
Actually, at least in California, the 'poor' live quite well.
The middle class gets screwed the worst.
Exactly. A family of four can live like kings on $740 a month in California.
the poor get screwed because they are willing to stay poor....
otherwise... they would DO something about it
fuck the politicians,
fuck the banksters.... and....
fuck the (idea of being and STAYING) poor too
The working poor get screwed. Those on welfare all their lives....fuck em
You're close. But not quite...
Who's really getting screwed are the people who still have to WORk for money. IE produce somethign to obtain green coupons with funny writing on them.
Who's winning is those who can create those coupons out of thin air, and those who are direct recipients of the printed coupons and do no produtive work.
But keep voting, because democracy!
This is the correct assessment.
We had to impoverish some folks.
"I'll (LBJ) have them n-----s voting Democrat for the next 100 years."
just think, only 49 more years of this shit.
* this 100 year period may be extended without notice and at the sole discretion of the government at the time.
Sorry. You gotta read the fine print.
“If you want to keep your poverty, you can keep your poverty.”
"Just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference."

Quoted for truth...
Free food has never been more plentiful!
It comes from "wish gardens".
Kim Kardashian's butt.
Powered by tacos.
I see a bald man in a boat...
I guarantee you could get more people pissed off about these food stamps than anything the banksters are doing. In fact there are still idiots saying cut these people off so we can pay down the debt. LMAO. You my as well try putting the fire out on the sun.
Get yo own whiles you can bitchez!!

tell me that isn't government sponsored advertising... please....
Cotton. The gift that keeps on giving...
God help us! We should have picked our own cotton.
Food stamps = crowd control
EBT - "Don't Leave Home Without It..."
When you embrace Reaganomics and outsource jobs for 30+ years having record number of people on food stamps is the end result. Duh!
Or when you pay for welfare baby mamms to breed like rabbits, with multiple baby daddys and such.
Fixed it for ya.
Back in the late '80s one of my job duties was to help arrange loans for credit challenged people. Specifically, residents in cities like Compton, California. I would take credit apps from 19 year old girls who had a child at 15, another one at 17, and would be in my office holding their latest creation in their arms.
They would be adorned with jewelry and fine sneakers, and the latest fad in clothing. No job, no husband, just $700 per month per kid. That's $2100 take home per month for a 19 year old dropout. If they married the father, assuming only one father for PC's sake, they would lose a large portion of their government bennies.
And what would you guess the typical wage of a young man from Compton would be at the age of 19? If you guessed on the low side you are right. There was no financial incentive for a young girl to marry a young man back then. In fact, it was a huge financial penalty.
A lot of people have no idea that sort of shit was going on back then. I certainly did, I had to deal with it on a daily basis.
You speak the truth, sir.
Would you like the bad news?
It's gotten far worse since the 80's.
Now, it's a single, 25-year old mother of 4, who is an illegal alien and speaks no English. Her oldest kids have iPhones. All the kids get free Medical care (MediCal), Cash Aid, Food Stamps, and WIC. (Just to make sure we get all the illegals on the dole, the USDA sponsers billboards in Spanish advertising Food Stamps for illegals).
Because we can't cut checks to infants, she (the illegal alien) gets the EBT card and all the benefits.
She may not be living in the lap of luxury, but she has a car, a Flat-screen TV, apartment, and lots of free time to live far better off than she did in the Mexican/Central American hell-hole she sneaked here from.
I literally see this every day. California is demographically doomed.
Working and paying taxes is for suckers...
Yes, the cancer just keeps on growing. Sometimes I get the feeling the world is a tuxedo and America is a brown pair of shoes.
The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) has long supported USCIS’ policy on public charge and encourages States administering SNAP benefits to make the policy well known in the immigrant communities in your State.”
Sessions’ Friday letter pressed Vilsack on the cumulative cost of nutrition assistance for non-citizens and the cost of the total amount spent on nutrition assistance benefits for both citizen and non-citizen immigrants, in order to get a clearer picture of the cost associated with the current public charge policy.
The Alabama senator also requested information about possible loopholes for illegal immigrants to partake in SNAP benefits.
“You emphasized that food stamp eligibility ‘has never been extended’ to illegal aliens. However, as you know, illegal immigrants can apply for food stamp benefits on behalf of eligible members of their households,” he wrote.
“To the extent that illegal immigrants do not have to expend their own resources to purchase food on behalf of others, they obviously benefit from that taxpayer-funded assistance. Does your Department have any estimates of total SNAP benefits provided to households headed by an illegal immigrant on behalf of eligible dependents?” Sessions asked, going on to request similar information on legal immigrants with illegal dependents.
In his February response to Session’s October oversight request, Vilsack wrote that the agency has a goal of enrolling 75 percent of SNAP-eligible people by 2015.
“With respect to SNAP participation rates, the most recent available data shows that in 2010, an average of 51 million individuals were eligible for benefits each month, and 38 million received them, resulting in a participation rate of 75 percent among all SNAP-eligible individuals in that year,” he wrote.
“USDA’s strategic plan includes a goal to reach 75 percent of the SNAP-eligible population by 2015 — the same rate reached in 2010.”
A record 47,791,996 people were enrolled in the program in December, the most recent data available

That has been going on since the Demoncraps instituted Lyndon Johnson's "War On Poverty" in the 1960's. All these "entitlements" that we see today are Liberal bureaucrapic extrapolations of the "War On Poverty" Demoncrapic nightmare.
May God damn these Liberals and their dream of America's destruction.
NAFTA, GATT, WTO and most favor nation trading status for China all happened under Sleazy Willy in the 1990's. Reagan actually threatened to put tariffs on Japanese imports. Nice try at rewriting history though. You might have succeeded with your lies on the Dailykooks or Puffington Hoes, but not where people are educated about history and economics.
You are the one who does not know history. Reagan is one of the biggest traitors to the American people. In 1981 Reagan got rid of the taxes of foreign imported goods which opened the floodgates for shipping jobs and production to China.
Reagan is responsible or millions of people losing good paying manufacturing/ industrial jobs. Amazing you idiots dont know this.
Oh and Reagan TRIPLED the national debt. He also raised taxes too. Yep, its true look it up.
Reagan was cursed with an out-of-control Demoncrap Congress.
you b funny. say hello to obama and the chicago outfit
Reagan also set the Amnesty precedent.
over half the population has no food stamps, they must be starving.
We need a new program to force people to sign up for EBT. I know, sign up or pay the IRS a penalty. We'll call it the Affordable Food Act. EBTCare; it's not a tax. You have to eat it to find out what's in it
Then we could make it illegal to buy Food with anything other than EBT. Think of the possiblitilies for the a gov't administrator, he could say what you could buy (Like Mich. O.) When you could buy, and where you could buy. We need this :)
I realize your probably being sarcastic, but unfortunately; this is on the way...
Check the Cloward-Piven Strategy.
if sheeple can't bring themselves to believe in the Big Lie, they believe in the Tooth Fairie.
How many hungry American familes can the money spent on each Hellfire missile that is supposed to kill the people of the 3rd World feed?
"Consider your lineage: you were not made to live as brutes, but to follow virtue and knowledge."
— Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy
I have a dream ... about what to use those hell fire missiles for ... pass the remote control already....
im not a brute. im a merican. now were ma chek
I see the day a'coming!
We shall live as a happier nation when equality reigns and everyone is on Food Stamps.
Can you get Ice Cream on EBT?
Rubbish
Absofuckinglutelly. One can also get pizza delivered if one wishes. Come on , this is 'merica man!
Many fast food joints in Clownifornia are accepting EBT these days.
I live in the State of Indiana where those on food stamps are given a "Indiana Works" card that looks like a credit card. This card is to spare recipients much of the embarrassment of receiving aid or being on the dole. Many Americans are appalled at the mix of high priced and unhealthy foods our tax dollars are used to buy through this program.
People buy these foods to fulfill their "appetite", it has gone far beyond just keeping people from going hungry. It is one thing to let people starve, but how do you justify qualifying someone on government assistance to purchase items that hard working taxpayers often feel unable to afford? More on this subject in the article below.

Look at the obesity among the Black Plague. No work (except demonstrations and looting) and no responsibilities, produce huge, obese black cows prowling the supermarkets and department stores in electric carts because they can't even waddle around enough on legs, each of which are the circumference of 55 gallon barrels, to use their EBT cards to buy more food. If the markets didn't provide them with electric carts, they might actually starve to death.
It is impossible for them to even be able to wipe their own butts, or, sans that, are they so horribly unsanitary that they shouldn't be allowed to drive their new Escalades to the markets and waddle around or sit in public places? It would take something the size of several bath towels to wipe their butts after what must be horrifyingly humongous bowel movements excreting all that snack food, porterhouse steaks, and Colt 45 beverages.
I wonder; do the feds provide them with certified professional ass wipers? Is that a SNAP benefit? Is that now a degreed profession attainable from our public universities, with student loans subsidized by Ovomit and his brain-bent demoniacs?
It's a ghastly disgusting subject but I must admit I've often wondered about it. These people just cannot wipe their own asses! First they can't reach because of their girth and then their arsehole must be buried 10 to 20 inches in rolls of fat. They must stink to high heaven and should be banned from mixing with humans.
There is no way they are EVER going to cut back on entitlements, if anything they will grow. Look at disability benefits, weigh 400 lbs, EBT card, can't work, get a check, Duh! Can't find a job even if you happened to want one, file for disabilities. Why work? What is the incentive? New I-Phone, HDTV, kids meals all paid for, better then could ever have it in mexico. Look at the Veterans dept, bankrupt from phony claims from vets who were never in combat, never left the USA, never in any danger, all have PTSD and get $3K a month! They can claim to be 100% disabled and go to work full-time for the government. They get two checks! Fed money creation has allowed this massive deficit spending to go on and on. It keeps the peace, the lemmings remain content and the oligarchs laugh all the way to the bank.
None of that even comes close to what the banksters got.
None of that even comes close to what the banksters got.
True but both the banksters and the FSA are parasites living off the productive middle and working classes.
We depressed some folks.
We lived in USA for 20 years before escaping to Singapore. We are well aware that USA media is nothing but propaganda, akin to that of China. USA media makes life in that country out to be like some sort of "party" when in fact it is more of a slow death.
Of course things are bad for most Americanos. They are oinly going to get worse with TPP and all the other goodies that the government wants. Very sad indeed.
