New Mexico to end food stamp supplement

That makes more sense now.

BTW Parkland, Dallas Texas is getting busted big time on a psych case right now. You can google it if you want to.

Parkland are the people that pretty much saved my life though. And I think they are getting shafted on this psych case deal.

Psych units...its a no win deal. Its not a field where you just blindly skip along...its phsyically brutal at times, it can be emotionally draining, and there is ALWAYS someone that is threatening to call licensing divisions or file lawsuits. I'll look up their case...its always good to know what is lurking around the next corner.

Yes the rich are so generous by owning a grocery store in the poor neighborhoods where the poor can trade their food stamps for 5 dollar gallon milk.

Parkland is one of the top trauma centers in the world. But serving the purpose they do as a public hospital they also get all **** too.

The store I usually shop at donates generously to the near by food bank.
The people with food cards buy ground chuck while I buy just regular hamburger anyway.
Perhaps people not on food stamps should be the ones getting a discount on milk if that's what you were suggesting.

No but i thought maybe that's what you were suggesting with this statement.

It sounds like you think the store owner is rich and somehow shouldn't charge the customers $5 for milk.

*winston scratches head*

You mean the people that control wal mart, where many of a food stamp beneficiary gets their milk, are not wealthy?

What makes you think that Wal-Mart is where "many of a food stamp beneficiary gets their milk"? The nearest Wal-Mart to where I live is 30 miles away. Why go there when I can just go 2 miles to the nearest privately owned grocery store?

Dallas is how large? VS how large is the US? Making assumptions based off of what happens in your neck of the woods and applying it to the whole is not a good idea. ;)

I'm fairly confident almost any metropolitan area has at least one of these; A&P, Safeway, WaL Mart, Kroger, Tom Thumb, etc.

Wow. This is a shame. Corporations get bailed out, multi-billion dollar wars get waged, the top 1% get tax breaks, and yet we can't even manage to feed our own people. I truly worry for the future of this country.

You mean if Obama wasn't waging a completely illegal war in Libya the United States might have a spare half million for food stamps in New Mexico?

Well, no it wouldn't really.

You see, there's this thing the Mayor likes to call "The Constitution". This Constitution thingy says that the Congress is not allowed to spend money on objects of charity.

But, seriously, if the left cares so much, is there anything stopping them from asking Micheal Moore to share? He looks like he could use a half-million dollar cut in his food budget...
 
Hmmm....let's see...if they cut just 10 SEIU governent employees, the State of New Mexico would have saved enough money to continue the Food Stamp Supplement program.

What's that socialist saying they're always hurling at us (yes, the Mayor means "vomiting forth")?

Right.

"Greatest good for the greatest number."

So, cut a handful of SEIU thugs, and save the Snickers for the Old Ladies....

Then again, milk wouldn't cost five dollars a gallon if the government didn't artificially prop up prices for food...

Food is a necessity. Instead of cutting the program, they should just ask for work in return. They could get ten to twenty hours per person. That seems more reasonable.

If a person can work ten to twenty hours, they can get their asses out in the real world and buy their food with their own money.

If I remember correctly, Walmart is the number 1 grocer in the U.S.

You didn't say wal-mart, but so what if they are wealthy? They give millions to charities, plus they pay taxes.
What does that have anything to do with the price of milk or food stamps to buy that milk? Now wal-mart is somehow the bad guy? I'd call them the good guy, for having cheaper milk than most places, paying taxes when half of America doesn't and giving millions to charity. Now, about this person who is using food stamps...he's obviously not paying income taxes, he wouldn't have money to give to charity either and wal-marts taxes are paying for his foodstamps. Yea... Bad bad wal-mart for not giving the guy the milk for free.
Thank goodness I doubt many people on food stamps would feel that way. They are probably grateful for them and grateful to Wal-mart where the prices are cheaper and they can get more food.
Where do you come up with stuff?

How does this crap always devolve into an attack on successful people and organizations? Why is it that any time cuts to programs for the poor are mentioned it is always 'the rich are stealing from the poor!" Just how the hell is WalMart, as an entity that employs millions, provides entry level jobs and career opportunities for people that barely if at all made it through high school, that donates millions annually to charity, an organization that pays many millions in tax revenues, the 'bad guy' here? WalMart didnt tell those that failed to prepare for a future to spend more times on drugs and sex in high school than their education. WalMart didnt create the disability in those truly in need. Successful people dont oppress jack squat. The only people that are truly oppressed are the ones that are either victims of their own dismal effort at life or their parents. If people spent more time on taking care of themselves and on a doctrine of personal responsibility and less time blaming everyone else for their own dismal existence they would be a lot more successful. If there were a lot less failures as individuals there would be a lot more resources for those with legitimate needs.
 
The cure for food stamps is jobs.
