(25,111 posts)Also, quite a few on food stamps (snap) are in the gerrymandering, red-redistricting, and other goper areas. Gopers are gonna hurt their own constituents and they will believe its not their own party doing it but in fact Pres O and the Dems.

I'd love to see the stat for parents who are holding down two or more jobs, and still qualify for assistance. This whole picture painted by the likes of Rep. Gomert, of the people buying king crab legs with their food stamps, has GOT to be put debunked.

It doesn't bother me that a very small amount of our servicemen/servicewomen received help, it DISGUSTS me that it could be taken away:
