Just came across this video linked from Drudge....

I made it through about 45 seconds before my blood pressure got dangerously high....  As in have a [censored] aneurysm high...

That's it. Just pull the [censored] plug on welfare.  I am so sick and [censored] tired of these welfare leeches gaming the system.

Don't wanna pull the plug? 

Then the only thing that EBT can buy is basic staples.  Things like bread, fresh or frozen meat, fresh or frozen produce, canned or dried legumes (beans, etc), and grains.  Period. End of [censored] list.  If they can't figure out how to cook, let them [censored] starve.  If it's "ready to eat" it's off the [censored] list.  No potato chips, no pizza, no junk food, none of that crap.

Federal rules generally prohibit food stamp benefits, which are distributed under the USDA's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), from being exchanged for prepared foods. Yet a provision dating to the 1970s allows states to allow restaurants to serve disabled, elderly and homeless people, USDA spokeswoman Jean Daniel said.

Working in a grocery store you'd be amazed what folks buy with food stamps.

Wouldn't matter. They'd sell the EBT for cash.

[cassandra and sara's daddy]

yup

Local scandal when many millions of WA food stamp dollars were spent at strip clubs, liqour stores, and gin shops.

My ABATE chapter used to work with Toys for Tots. Darn good program, in theory.
I worked with actual distribution. After a few years of loading toys for needy and deprived children into vehicles far nicer and newer than I'm likely to ever own. I decided to find another avenue to help needy kids.

Yup, I had worked at one for five years. Kind of makes you hate people.

You realize foodstamps is a broken system when witness several different people buying carts full of brand name food (lots of it junk food), only paying $20 for the beer and loading the whole lot into a brand new Lexus or Escalade.

Racist!  (wait, you didn't say malt liquor...)

[AmbulanceDriver]

You want my solution?

You get caught selling your EBT for cash?  You're automatically disqualified from EBT.  PERMANENTLY.

Because turns out I'm a heartless bastage...

[sumpnz]

Your premise on the point of food stamps should be re-examined.

[Jamisjockey]

You want heartless?  First, all forms of federal assistance....gone.  Federal entitlements....gone. Mandates....gone. 
Let the states figure out if they want to continue the programs or not.  And I would vote for those who would cut off said programs in my state.
Truth be told, the entire system is busted. 

[cassandra and sara's daddy]

the states administer it now

[Jamisjockey]

the states administer it now

Under the mandate of the federal government. 

[cassandra and sara's daddy]

the feds provide the cash  how much beyond that do they dictate?

Isn't that enough?  What happens to the cash if a state decides to ditch welfare?  It gets redistributed to another state.

[cassandra and sara's daddy]

so the states have a choice? i'm asking i don't know i tried to find out and am doing poorly

I thought this would be a good place to post this, copied from another forum regarding "Tax the rich!! (even though they pay all the taxes as it is)" sentiment.

Why do people that aren't rich defend people that are? The problem is very simple, just about everyone reading this is not rich. If we would like to live better lives, and build small and medium businesses we need capitol to do this. If the rich have it all, we can't. The only way for our lives to get better is if the rich have less of the money and we have more. It really is just that simple. We can't have more unless the rich have less!

Now, for those that are not rich defending policies that benefit the rich at your expense? WTF? Do you think the rich will read your post and like you? This is like President Obama pandering to the Republicans. It's just dumb. You aren't one of the club.

If they do have a choice, and they refuse, do you really think Leviathan would just give them thier portion of confiscated wealth back? Or redistribute it to the other states?
Remember the drinking age fight between the states and Leviathan?
The undeniable truth is that as long as the Federal government controls the largest portion of confiscated wealth, the states have little control over its administration.

Amazing comprehension of economics. Everybody knows that there's a fixed amount of wealth in the world, just like there's a fixed amount of happiness. So, if somebody becomes happy, somebody else becomes unhappy. The only way to make things fair is to distribute the unhappiness evenly (which is really what liberalism is all about).

I can understand the rage, but I am pretty sure the video is satire.
