You must be high right now, because I didn't say I trusted the government nor did I even mention "Michelle". What I said was I do not like paying for a program that allows people to buy candy bars and commit all sorts of fraud.
the makers are already supporting the ne'er-do-wells and sometimes very comfortably with social security and medicare. And it is just about driving this country to the edge of bankruptcy. you have two choices, either means test social security and medicare, or give it to everybody giving it to everybody at the rate we are giving is going to require some severe reform of medicare, or raising taxes.
The TV media aired a show where some parasite woman got $700/mo EBT benefits... which she sold for $.50 on the $1... and used the proceeds to buy marijuana.... she also made a salary of $70,000/year. When asked if she "needed" the food stamp benefit, she said "no". WTF!!!!
Not surprising. We have a director here at work - she uses her parent's SNAP card (they live with her) and buys food all the time with it. I told her she's abusing the program (she makes close to $200k annually) but she said her parents are entitled to it and they are retired and make nothing. I tried explaining to her "But they live WITH you and you support them!" Didn't make a dent.
ok, you decide what is healthy. I nominate you the nutrition nurse of ET. That's what we need, more people like you and Michelle telling us what to eat. yes, he is very intolerant and can't stand to read anything he disagrees with. A symptom of a very weak mind in my opinion. Maybe he's afraid if he reads something he disagrees with it might change his mind. Reminds me a lot of the old Pravda in the old Soviet Union.
Regarding finances... since we have zero idea how much money the FED is creating we really have no idea how much the govt can overspend and how much we could eliminate taxes. Perhaps if the only new money that was made was to cover the federal deficit... we would not experience inflation. Plus with no income tax the economy would boom and tax revenues would increase. We could therefore give everyone foodstamps and healthcare.
What pisses me off is that this woman is actually conservative in her political leanings. She basically told me "fuck it, if everyone else is going to ride the gravy train and there are no rules, why shouldn't I do it?"
