You should open those eyes a little. Or not. We're all heading in the same direction and we'll reach our destination whether you see it or not. What happens when we get there, depends on what you've done to prepare for it.

Enjoy that rock under which you reside.

He's also about to sign legislation that will allow homeowner's insurance companies to cancel policies willy nilly and increase premiums on a whim.

But we're mad about the $40 in food stamps for kids over the summer.

Louisiana Legislature repeals law blocking homeowner’s insurance cancellations

Go talk to a single parent working 2 minimum wage jobs to raise 2 children in public housing. During the summer, they might live on ramen noodles and ham hock that lasts all week. Seen anybody counting pennies and nickels to pay at the register?
Want to bitch then complain about the trillions of dollars we piss away on shite like Ukraine and the rest of the world. And get rid of the 40 million ILLEGAL ALIENS that are draining US resources which could solve all of the issues with crapping on our veterans, the homeless and the hunger problems.

Why?

Because the vast majority of those ungrateful fricks don't appreciate the largesse they have and continue to wail and complain they are poor and downtrodden.

They'd be upper middle class in most of the other countries on this planet and fricking royalty in the 3rd World.

Because poverty is relative. We don't really have poor people, outside of the mentally ill and drug addicts.

We aren't all limited intellectually like you. We can be mad at both (or either or neither)

This isn't binary. Go start another thread about the insurance, rather than deflecting. Defend this decision on it's merits if you support it.

When you give these kids food it gives them more energy to commit crimes

Are you insinuating in your fake scenario that this made up family is not also on multiple other forms of government assistance?

The family in your scenario can easily qualify for $500 per month cash and $800 per month in food stamps, on top of Section 8 housing, utility assistance, cell phone assistance, free healthcare.

Why do you have to lie?

It sounds like the legislature really cut his legs off on this one. He turned down the money on the grounds that LA couldn't afford $3M in added administrative costs but when the legislature allocated his $3M he didn't have a backup plan ready to go.

The problem is one of redundancy. There was already a Summer Meals program for needy kids.

Its corporate handouts. They give "poor" kids EBT and grocery stores get a fat revenue bump for the summer.


You are correct in this. The “dirty little secrets” on EBT are that it drives sales at not only grocery stores, but convenience stores, dollar generals etc. because people are having to spend cash on groceries, they have money to go to McDonald’s, get a new cell phone, etc.

In addition, Citibank and others make a killing off of managing EBT cards

Anybody making that $ with 2 jobs and a 3 person household is not getting all of those benefits. And it is not a lie. You are detached from the reality of some people out there. Not all are scamming the system.

He is a complete pussy as are all of the supposed republican conservatives in the LA legislature. Once a handout starts it never ends.

Keep enabling dysfunction, surely it'll work out this time.

I know your shtick, but "poor" people can easily get $67,000 in benefits annually.

bullshite. They have all manner of other handouts. This program only started a few years ago. Were kids dying of starvation before then? Are the kids in the 5 states that don't participate dying of starvation in significant numbers?

Enable dysfunction and it will multiply.
