Sounds like this SNAP program is only good for methheads, crooked businessmen and evil corporations.

Oops, left out crackheads.

It seems to me that the government should be able to come up with some cheap vitamin fortified gruel to feed the starving masses yearning to eat. We sent a man (actually several) to the moon.

Yes, feed them all Mississippi Chain Gang food. A bowl of rice water with maggots for protien. That'll teach them to be poor and without. The food stamp recipients committed no crime but are deserving of nothing because they are the scum of the earth, leaching off of productive society.
I think I get your drift now.

This is about welfare recipients who cheat, not the honest and deserving ones.

Food stamp fraud is White collar crime? What article are you referring to? Certainly not the article in the OP.

Food aid would not be necessary if the system was not about getting ahead.
Someone is always left behind, when the goal it to get ahead.

The two party system of want and conquer needs to go away. It's time to get over it and return to freedom, and opportunity.
I think most people need to come to grips with reality:

The bottom line is people shouldn't have children, if they CANNOT afford them. The world is becoming too populated. If you cannot afford children: DON'T have them. If EVERYONE adheres to this and people on public assistance are forced into birth control, some of these problems, in time, will go away.

Unless we, as a society, start taking the hard, difficult, and necessary steps, we will continue to fail and people will continue to be screwed over.

It just won't happen. The minute anyone opens their mouth to address it you have the emotional screaming of "starving kids dying in the streets".

It just won't happen.
