If that were to happen, who would pay for the burial of those who starve to death?

I believe you will find that politically as well as humanely, food stamps are the better proposition,

yeah communists and socialists never killed anyone

speaking of goats-you ought to read ARMED AND DANGEROUS by Coats. Its about the far right racist groups like the silent brotherhood. One cult in the Mid west had a goat that was used for "unnatural purposes" during the initiation ceremonies of a nutty murderous cult. when the feds raided the place all that was left was the goat who begged the agents to service it.

I have never bought into the death panel bit but I can see in the near future some guy Yelling


SOYLENT OBAMA IS PEOPLE!!!!

I was referring to the use of scare tactics.
 
I would be all for the removal of "food stamps" and the return of "commodities". I believe this would lower alot of fraud and misuse right off. If anyone remembers the old government issued food stuffs they were nasty but would sustain a person. Most people chose them out of necessity and not as a government freebie like the do with food stamps.

I say cut the pay scale and benefits of congress to reduce the deficit and save ME money. I am tired of paying taxes to support millionaires.

With you on this if we can add all public employees..... they make way too much money and have way too expensive benefits for what they produce, which is nothing.

Some of them like cops should get higher pay.
 
Yeah I can go with that. The higher-ups don't make more money (and often less than their private sector counterparts), but the lowest part of the food chain is very overpaid.

Arnie did it in Cali. I hope the rest of the states follow suit.
 
Yeah I could got with lowering government employees pay all around.
 
Just a thought on our, so called, public servants. If they are our servants then why do they take all of the best parking spots at public buildings such as city halls (reserved for mister big fuk)?

Same reason they take 4 times as many paid days off each year than private sector employees take.... unless we are talking banks.

Obviously, like banks, they don’t have a big enough work load to need to work a 5 day week.

WOW… imagine that …. A conservative, a libertarian, and two liberals agreeing on something.

such much nonsense in that. how do you steal from the poor so much to make others rich

the populist nonsense is getting trite
Click to expand...

I'll tell you one way that the rich exploit the poor. That is with ghetto food markets. The poor lack transportation to go to place like walmart where the food prices are almost one half as much. The ghetto markets sell rotten food, are usually filthy and have extremely high food prices.

Another way the rich rob the poor is with payday loans and car loans which usually have at least 300% interest per year.

It's kind of like withholding tax..... if you had to go up to a window each month and cash your check, then give the government 30 percent of it, there would be a revolution the next month.

If you had to go hat in hand to a church or a soup kitchen to eat, you would get off your ass and take the first job you could find. You'd spend 12+ hours a day looking for work and there would be no such thing as a job being beneath you.

Be thankful that we have vets..... they are the ones that bought you the right to shoot your mouth off, most of the time with their blood.... ass hole.

740 billion dollars spent in Iraq so far. Projected war vet health care 441 billion dollars.

The second number is legitimate. The first number should have gone to the food stamp program. We do not allow any of our citizens to starve, except for the ones with no mailing address. They dumpster dive. Everyone eats. The religious charities do as much good as they can. Atheists go elsewhere.

It says they are voting on it, I doubt such cuts would pass especially right now. Also are they high? Food prices definitely are going up. So I guess because they aren't going up as much as they thought though, kids should have to eat ramen noodles instead of brown rice until daddy gets a new job? I think if they want to save money in the long run, what they should do is be more careful about whom they give food stamps to, but punishing poor families because of a few bad seeds is a very greedy, and bad idea.

Those responsible for such cuts need to lose their jobs over it.

So you'd get a 20% drop in corruption, would Pelosi's congress be more transparent then?
