No way NPR would seriously use that picture in this article. Unbelievable lol.


I thought the same thing. Either NPR has a reporter who actually thinks this elicits sympathy from the public. Or... this NPR reporter is a left winger but really hates fat people.

I can't believe that reported that one of the parents is a stay at home mom.

This is a bald faced lie.

The reason I know is because I receive food stamps. I am disabled. There has been no word or warning from DCFS about losing them. Nothing from local, state or feds. I got January's no problem & have not gotten any word about February.
If food stamps were being cancelled, we would have gotten letters, texts, etc telling us by now. I've received nothing.
It's another lie.

Oh downvote me all you want for being disabled & needing food stamps to help...or call me a poor so you can feel superior...well I guess you're just displaying your ignorance.
Just wanted to shed some light on the situation...or just meet me at sonic....
:)

BTW...my food stamp value is no kidding $45 monthly.

Have fun with that budget.

I used to care about people suffering, but now let them starve.

Don't care. I bet 70% or more just abuse the system. Time to get off your lazy arse and work.

Also to add, close your f'ng legs and quit having so many children who grow up in the penal system that we also have to pay for.

You in prison for multiple felonies? They need to be sterilized. Tired of supporting these ticks.

Are you saying that NPR would lie?

I wouldn't down vote you.
What is the nature of your disability?

Shut down threatening food stamps


There are trump supporters on food stamps, and in states where his popularity is pretty high (WV, KY, TN, MS, AL).

Should be interesting to see if they continue to support him if they don't get their cheese. I suspect most will but not all.

Born with clubbed feet. Seven total surgeries since childhood to reconstruct. Arthritis caused one ankle to need to be fused, and tri-level cervical disc replacement two years ago. And now lumbar bulging disc.

Basically doctors did wonders to enable me to walk & have somewhat normal life. Was working full time until 2009. I hate no being able to support myself, always been very independent woman.

Age, arthritis wear & tear is doing its dirty work but I won't let it take me out.
Many many others are far worse off, I do ok. But the pain is excruciating at times.
Do not take your health for granted nor assume you will always be healthy.
Sorry my mood is crappy today...saints got robbed & all

Princess Putrid Pelosi is a libtarded moron.
Since the Garland no-vote and Trump election this isn’t the same old GOPe anymore.
A government shutdown will always hurt the Democratic base more than the GOP base.
This is UN winnable for the DNC/MSM Political Complex!

“Mild Mannered” Mitch and “Tweeting” Trump know this!

certainly not all, but most i see in line using EBT cards are buying expensive foods regular people cant afford to buy unless its for an occasion

if it were truly based on real need only 25% of those getting benefits truly need it, the rest are just taking advantage of the system out of pure selfish greed

It's ok...you didn't know.
And if I can't laugh about it all sometimes, i'd never make it!
But it does piss me off watching people abuse the system. And the abuse is rampant. And unchecked.
One reason my allotment is so low is I',ve never lied about number of dependents to get more money. Have one adult son. And I told them my car is paid for.
Evidently, not claiming 7 children I,ve never met & paying off my car makes me "rich" ,to the SNAP program...my car is a 06 Taurus so nothing fancy.


It's so fricked up, one is penalized for being honest about their needs. The liars get money.
