We feed the third world countries; why not feed us?”
Georgia, 25, who could not vote because of a past felony, described the proposal to slash food stamps as “ridiculous”. She said: “If he doesn’t look after poor people now, he’s going to see a lot more poverty.” GET A JOB!!!!

Anybody can go thru a hard patch but welfare has become like a "badge of honor" or a career choice.  I drive by and almost everyday the same beggars on the street, if they can find the energy to beg, why can't they GET A JOB? I am all for helping someone when they are down but too many people have their hands out. I am sick of it. Also... when did people stop supporting all the children they are bringing into the world? Seems like 80-90% of kids are now getting some kind of Chips, Medicaid or something.
