I am out of here, goodnight. The point I am trying to make is that poor people have it rough, and I have EMPATHY. I know that many of you are Christians and if you don't have any feelings for the less fortunate then you are not at all like Jesus. Classic. Absolutely classic. I appreciate the "I" statements you made. "I have empathy"...that's great, I applauded you. However, forcing other people to feed someone else at the end of a gun or prison cell isn't empathy. Government is incapable of true empathy, that is only possible in the realm of individuals. There is a certain amount of waste and fraud that needs to acceptable in any government program. I don't know how to make it the least amount possible. I'm willing to try new things in regards to food stamps. I doubt any tweak will end with people starving to death in the street. If that were to occur, many people would experience true empathy, by feed those hungry people themselves.

Find a can of meat products and try to eat some it will answer your question, does everything need a link? LOL
Look up the diabetes and High blood pressure numbers on the Indian reservations that might answer you question too.
So you’re making it up. Thats what I thought. You have no idea wha they have planned. Been living here the last 40 years working with the people that live here you might have a app for that but I have been living it!

There will always be those without money to buy food. It could be for a lot of reasons from just bad luck to irresponsibility to who knows what. It not only affects them but it affects their dependents, and even ME. Yes, me.
People need to eat. They will find food even if comes to stealing it, or stealing whatever to trade for it.
We need a program to keep people fed. It doesn't need to include French wine and Russian caviar. Limit the benefit to necessities. Delivering food boxes involves a lot of extra costs related to logistics. I don't believe it would be cost effective.
Soup kitchens don't make a lot more sense.
I think what we have is along the right track. But, we could do more. Teach the man to fish, so to speak. Offer, or even require training in nutrition, cooking and food economics. That won't save us from the malicious, but, would be sure to help the truly needy.
Keep the needy fed and they have that much less reason to harass me on the street.

We have a local food bank that gives out food during the week many food banks all over SD but like anything else you see abuse there too.
Overall the US gives away billions here and overseas from just people and organization no strings attached.

Can anyone make a real Dinner for $1.50 to $1.73 ? Those old folks that have their Mortgage paid off, and still living in their own home, don't have it easy. Taxes, Utilities , Homeowners Insurance, Food and Miscellaneous expenses ; eat up most of their retirement check each Month. Then , the Government actually expects people to buy food that is healthy and tastes good. Those stores, they know when the food stamps come in. They jack their prices up that week, suckering the customers into spending more than what they normally would. But, when the Refrigerator is empty, people got to eat.
If people are so against the poor getting Food Stamps, would they be against the Government eliminating Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, SSI , SSDI, and Veterans benefits ??
Well, why not?? They are all expenditures that could be eliminated.

Yes Law Dog, that is what compassionate people do.
I see people here who despise the hungry. Why is that?
What would Jesus think of that? You are confused . It's not the governments responsibilty . It's family and the church who should not only help those in need but teach them to care for themselves.

I remember back in the 60's even they had canned meat, evaporated milk,cheese and many other foods available. I am not sure why that was ended but few now days know how to cook compared to back then. Best I recall that program was ended because it cost so much to operate. Government paid trucks, drivers, warehouse men, warehouses, distribution facilities, local administrators; there was an industry in commodity transportation and handling that made a ponud of pinto beans cost as much as three pounds of Porterhouse. Euthanization, eugenics and sterilization of all who......... As Jackson said, "Nits make lice" Actually it wasn't Jackson, but a guy named John Milton Chivington. Google the "Sand creek Massacre" to see what a fine specimen he was.

What would Jesus think of that? Cut taxes for those at the top and leave the lazy poor to step up or starve.

Euthanization, eugenics and sterilization of all who fail to meet economic standards is the only solution. Forget all this save the children stuff, they are contributing nothing. Face it in honesty, no one outside of our personal circles of family, religion, or political views should be allowed to reproduce or to influence future society by raising children. Thank you Margaret Sanger........you got first........
