1 out of 8 Americans get food stamps.
I didn't think it was so high. Maybe we do have 16.8% unemployment.

we prolly have more than 16.8%, but getting foodstamps is becoming insanely easy. Heck, they are running ad campaigns to get more people on them.

No, Leechers as in "most" of the people that are sucking the system dry because they are too lazy to get a job or stay qualified with a skill so they can get/stay employed. Also those that are employed but live beyond their means and still use government assistance. I quoted most because most do not need to be on gov. assistance. There are those that have disabilities and such that do need it, and that is fine thats why those programs were invented.
I agree that banks and car companies are partially at fault as well, not so much the companies but the greedy bastards that are running them, but lets not forget about the financial companies that rob the american workers pensions and insurance premiums as well. |

i dont think there should be government assistance for just poor people. I can see about people who lost a job and are look which happens and also for people who had a disability that they need it
not just for poor people living beyond there means. Sink or swim in phoenix here, they just passed a law due to all the illegals trying to milk the system. If they are illegal and trying to get food stamps or benefits they HAVE to be reported to ICE little less drain on the system |
