House passes farm bill, eliminating Food Stamps

[Miles]

Apparently slate found another food stamp recipient who is able to mooch $15-$20 an hour. They also grossly botched basic arithmetic, but that's nothing new. Oh, and they drink Kool-aid.





Debra: Yes, I’ve thought about it, and my daughter is also considering it. But my food stamps, rent, VA compensation, and social security would be affected. I’d have to make a lot of money to overcome all the reductions, something like $15 to $20 an hour.

I won't stoop to agreeing with Krazen, but that article does not present Debra as a very sympathetic figure. She says she's on disability but never explains how she's disabled. Her 21 year old daughter lives with her but doesn't work; not sure what's going on there. And her whole attitude is just very passive and lackadaisical. If Republicans wanted to put food stamps on trial, she would be an excellent prosecution witness.

The 21 year old is apparently counting down the days until she becomes a 22 year old, upon which time she apparently can put on her big boy pants and collect full scale free money courtesy of the hard working men and women of the United States.

What an amazing thing to aspire to be.

Who is this fellow and does he collect not one, not two, not three, but four forms of welfare?

Its a meme called "Scumbag Steve." Ah, I forgot you weren't very savvy when it comes to pop/meme culture. I suppose that tends to happen when you live in a neat little bubble. Anyway, the meme is often used to call out hypocrites.

In real life, its sounds like he goes to school and works. Of course, ill-informed people like you would very much like to label him otherwise based on superficial criteria.

[Miles]

Curious reference. Especially as this individual actively keeps an adult daughter out of work in order to keep the taxpayer spigot pumping the Koolaid.

Well, anyway, you just proved the point of my meme:

America is already overburdened by leeches.

You just love labeling people, don't you?

I don't see why you don't just drop this act. I mean, when I go over to RRH, I see that you usually post well-informed comments. Yet, when you come over here, you're an inflammatory partisan troll. Its a really odd disconnect. Do you just like the attention?

Why can't you just grow up? Thats what bugs me the most about you. You're a smart guy and could be a good poster, yet all you want to do is bash the poor and talk about how every other poster here is dumb liberal. Its really a shame.

[Miles]

You have a lot of nerve.  Of course, you've probably never had to serve a day in the military and have literally no idea what it's like.  I say this as someone whose uncle served as a nurse during Vietnam and had to shoot some poor sucker most every day.  You have no idea what members of our armed services endure every minute of their lives in the service and you have no idea how lucky you are to have the freedom to spout off the nonsense that you do.

Why don't you just be honest with yourself and say that you hate this country and everyone living in it?

Oh Scotty you don't understand...

I support America. Not sure about you.

It's really much more the reverse.

Obviously not in this case.
