Just think, the Urban Dem-Slaves may come to like the idea of earning their food and having independence so much that they start voting against their Dem-Slave-Masters en Masse.
Freedom and self-respect are very, very Addictive!
The banks caused their own mess. Obama turned a downturn into an economic depression that lasted for 9 years instead of letting it self correct.
Children cannot use or sign up for food stamps, Sybil.

Obama wanted to charge them, but he was faced with a potential 2nd great depression. He had to allow those who were partly at fault for the crash to fix it. The 700 biliion dollar safety net was approved when Bush was in office.
Nonsense. Not true. Obama fixed the Bush mess. And got the poor ACA.
Obama CAUSED the economic depression. It lasted 9 years.
It would've fixed itself if Obama had only left it alone.
What 'safety net'??
Complaining about YOUR problem, Sybil?
An economic depression is not 'saving the economy', Sybil.
An economic depression is not 'saving the Buss mess', Sybil.
Your lies are . . . lies. And all know it, Karen.
Illiteracy: Missing verb.
Argument of the Stone fallacy. That won't work, Sybil.
Sorry, Karen. All know you are a liar and a gaslighter.
Look how far things have fallen that so many people depend on the govt to support them and you assholes want to govt to support even more people.Two decades ago, Sara Carlson, then a mother of three, was newly single because of a traumatic event, and the US’s food stamp program, now called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Snap), helped her feed her children with free food supplies.
“I wouldn’t have been able to afford to live,” said Carlson, 45, who lives in Rochester, Minnesota, and now works as an operations manager for a wealth-management firm and serves on the board of Channel One Regional Food Bank, which works to increase food access.
While the food stamps helped her, the government cut her off after a couple years because she started making too much money, which meant she again had to worry about having enough food.
Now, nearly 42 million people around the country could face the same fate if the federal government shutdown continues and funding for Snap is cut off on 1 November.
Should funding run out at the end of the month, “we will have the greatest hunger catastrophe in America since the Great Depression, and I don’t say that as hyperbole”, said Joel Berg, CEO of Hunger Free America.
Snap supports working families with low-paying jobs, low-income people aged 60 years and older and people with disabilities living on a fixed income, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
Snap participants generally must be at or below 130% of the federal poverty line. The average participant receives about $187 a month, the center reports.
