So... fucking... pissed.
Just found out that a relative of mine blew through 650 dollars worth of food stamps. How the fuck can you blow through that in a month? Only buy organic bullshit at Whole Foods.
This relative just popped out baby #3, and her and her husband haven't had jobs since baby #1.
And that's just food stamps. because of the age of the kids, they still get WIC.
I'm so fucking happy I pay taxes.

They only buy organic stuff. And I don't mean regular groceries , they buy shitloads of prepackaged organic snack food for the lazy ass husband to eat. Though, even THEN, I don't get how they can blow 650 bucks ON TOP OF THE WIC THEY GET!!!! That amount of money could pay my rent. I don't think you should be ALLOWED to shop at Whole Foods with food stamps. I don't think you should be able to buy organic shit either. It should be like a food pantry. And you can ONLY get basics to make shit from scratch.
Food stamps are not supposed to perpetuate a life of excess, goddammit. I think poverty should go back to being something people want to get out of, rather than live in. We get to see the results of tax money used for NASA, why aren't we allowed to see the results of tax money paying for food stamps and welfare? Because would see shit like this and fucking revolt, that's why.

Is it possible they're buying "free" food and then re-selling it at a discount to people they know? I wouldn't put it past these trashy welfare leech types to buy assloads of food with food stamps and then turn around and sell some of it for actual money. If you buy organic food and sell it maybe 25% cheaper than the grocery store, you could still get a decent amount of cash.
Why the fuck is organic food even covered under food stamps? If you're so dirt fucking poor that you can't afford regular food, why should you get to spend other people's hard-earned money to buy food most people can't afford anyway? These hogs don't need organic groceries - if they want organic, have food stamps cover vegetable seeds and they can get off their ever-widening asses and plant a garden.
America the beautiful: Where the irresponsible, unemployed breeders eat and live better than the working people.

In my darkest days I was unemployed, completely broke and nearly homeless. I donated plasma, sold whatever I could and did odd jobs to make some money for rent and food. I also learned about 215605 ways to make Ramen. I sure could have used $650 a month for groceries. Now that I'm married, with a career, we spend about half of that on groceries a month. Insane.

It makes me bitter as hell that so many people get away with sponging off the system. I'm all for abolishing food stamps and setting up more food pantries. Make poverty uncomfortable again, and people will want to do everything they can to get out of it.

My only qualm about the idea is that there are people in temporary straits who have no intention of staying on benefits. I wouldn't want to see them lumped in with the layabouts.

Interesting idea, though the Planet Eaters like Walmart would crush the idea. I'd set up a Food Stamp Products (or whatever chi-chi name is given to preserve the receivers' self-esteem) Store. Stock it with only products that are truly necessary for consumption - snacks, sugary cereals and all non-nutritious products excluded. Employ people from families who are on stamps to give them job experience and work to cover benefits.
