That brings to mind another USDA program of old. I used to live in a house on 5 acres that was owned by a blind man in the 1930s-40s USDA set him up raising pigs on that property . I know this would never work now but I bet it worked out better for the old guy than a disability check .
The more I think about it the more I realize how much usda was a part of all Americans lives now it just a source of burdensome regulations for some farmers welfare for other farmers and SNAP WICH IS A FOUR LETTER WORD

Thanks, that would be appreciated.

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 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.
As Jackson said, "Nits make lice" so start by sterilizing all welfare applicants and all their children over the age of twelve. Then euthanize all second time applicants or first time applicants over the age of forty. Set a "poverty level of 100,000 and limit anyone under that level to only one child or two children with IQ levels of 140 or greater.
Reevaluate every five years to determine if adjustments are needed.
Exempt all redheaded people from the controls programs, redheads are to be the most desirable future genetic marker.


This idea is as radical as the idea to encourage people that cannot support themselves or their offspring to produce more offspring ( mentally disabled do to drug or alcohol abuse even more lucrative) by making these offspring an economic asset; while making the offspring of people who can support themselves and their offspring an economic liability. The result being more and more less capable human beings. The difference is one is happening. smile

I notice a trend that this thread (that has political undertones) has 8 pages while the NBC news thread concerning black American gun ownership lasted less than 15 minutes. It's a tall order to try insulate any endeavor from politics. It permeates every aspect of our lives. However, that fact is a blessing. Not many generations ago we weren't afforded the grace because those that came before buckled for their dust.

That's the main reason for changing it. There have been recipients in our area caught doing exactly that. I would like to see drug testing to qualify for any of these welfare programs too.

So, a positive to qualify? It's an illness like a disability.

It's an illness brought on by a choice same as alcoholism. Diabetes is an example of a true illness not brought on by a choice. I have no problem giving drug users food, but no benefits that can be bartered for money if they're collecting welfare benefits.

A computer card can be set to purchase only certain products, no? It can be delivered without a freight company, it doesn't get fed to hogs being fattened for market, it can be used only with a photo ID if so required by the issuer.
Electronics can tell all the details about every use of a card, the best excuse for changing to some other form of assistance is to make the fraud easier.

It may well be that the current program needs some tweeks but a food delivery program cannot be monitored at all. May as well just hand the cash to the program manager and forget the poor folks.

A USDA spokesman said Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue himself came up with the idea for the food boxes, which had never been discussed during dozens of committee hearings on food stamps over the past three years.

There are not enough jobs for everyone in this country. There are some hard working people that need a little extra help to get by.

Yes, they do. I’ve seen it with my own eyes and have taken a picture of it. I don’t want to go through thousands of pictures to find it, but I’ll sure take a picture and post it whenever I am able to get to a restaurant that offers it.

So all the system users can be put to work delivering food packages to all the other users. Zero unemployment, every one gets a package of food and it might only cost 10-12 times more money. Make every body a winner.

Always some body trying to introduce facts into a purely emotional and anecdotal discussion.

Sonny Perdue would send you a couple chickens, a Chinese made pot to bo8l it in and some free gas from the Indian molested pipeline to cook it with.

WIC
An amendment to section 17 of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 on September 26, 1972.[3] The legislation (P.L. 92-433, sponsored by Senator Hubert Humphrey (D) of Minnesota) established the Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) as a two-year pilot program. Eligibility was limited to children up to age 4 and excluded non-breastfeeding postpartum women.


The basic eligibility requirement is a family income below 185% of the federal poverty level

Why does fed.gov need to know our income amount?
