I have had 3 strokes and am disabled. I never asked for assistance after college or all of the years I worked as an Electro-mechanical Technician. Food Stamps are the only assistance I have received in the last year and a half. I was a productive member of society who paid a lot of taxes and now I eat only because the Food Stamp program exists.

Mark quit trying to change what I said. I said nothing about the need or the reason for food stamps. You again want to turn things to fit your liberal rant and miss the whole point. You and the Liberal talking heads are using the food stamp program as proof the stimulus program is a success. It was enacted in 1964. Obama can’t take credit for it. And saying 46 million people now receiving food stamps is a great economic plus. Is laughable. Jay Carney said the same about unemployment checks. “They are stimulus”. What? Bigger welfare checks do not create jobs. They in the end cost more than they create. Because if they were as you spout we would just have make the welfare rolls larger and all the economic problems would be fixed. Wait that’s how it is in Greece and Italy and Europe. How’s that working out? That’s the biggest problem with you because someone wants to change something or correct something. They must be trying to kill someone. Or a group of people. Ryan’s plan, .“Gonna kill old people“. Dislike of the Obama health plan. “Wanna kill people“. Change the way SS and Medicare are funded “gonna kill old people“. Cut funds to Planned parenthood will kill people. Actually it would save lives. I suppose cutting funding to NPR will kill people? Everything except your way will kill people. That’s one of the reasons I don’t call into your show You’ve got your head so far up your politics you don’t listen you just belittle and denigrate. You yell compromise. But only on your terms. It’s like it’s only your experts who are correct. You never acknowledge any other expert as maybe having a real fact. You feel Gore is a better expert than a conservative PhD. Because they must be paid off by the “Big evil rich” You said as much the other day on your Raucous Caucus. You agreed with Anthony that any Expert who had an opposing view to man made Global warming was a hack. Regardless of any facts they may have. You live in your own Wonderland. Just admit Welfare provides liberal votes. Give a Govt. Check and buy a vote.
I gave you facts on how unemployment benefits creates a way for people to not look for jobs. Until forced to do so. Studies from your liberal nanny countries show this. And you denied them.
I gave you studies from PhDs and others who say that man made global warming is false. You Denied them.
Operation Fast and Furious. The DOJ and I believe Holder break the law to what end? Holder does the same as Clinton and uses the definition of a word as his defense. And guess what PEOPLE really died!!! But hey in your world it is because we need more gun laws on those who don’t break the law.

Jobs are also created when someone has an idea. And believes they can make a lot of money with that idea. Yes that’s right when they can believe they can become that evil rich person. Companies cannot grow when you want them to pay for EVERYTHING. You know “their fair share. Higher taxes and more regulations cause for slower job growth. That is a fact. And Yet you still don’t believe those receiving tax returns of more then they paid in as unfair. You want fair and equal. But not really fair and equal. Your definition of fair and equal.

Buffet runs his mouth. And yet he pays probably millions of dollars to keep from paying higher taxes. Hey Mr. Buffet write a frigging check. Hey Mr. Soros and Peter Lewis same thing write your check to the Govt. Stop funding anti conservative sites. And then you can preach. About fair and equal. Hypocrites!Are those higher taxes going to reduce the debt? Or are the liberals going to find new welfare pockets to fill? Use them for deficit reduction and you would have a lot less people opposing them. But Washington if you want more to throw down your favorite money pit. F-no.

Balanced budget. Close the loop holes. CUT spending.

82 percent!-of Bush tax relief goes to households earning below $250,000, benefiting the middle class, and poor families who got dropped from tax rolls altogether. (Fact check) So why do you and Obama keep saying it only goes to the rich? Remember you keep saying you can’t change FACTS. But you seem to try.

Real economic growth averaged 3.2 percent during the Reagan years versus 2.1 percent during the Clinton years.
Interest rates, inflation, and unemployment fell faster under Reagan than they did immediately before or after his presidency.

From 1981 through 1989 the U.S. economy produced 17 million new jobs, or roughly 2 million new jobs each year. Contrary to the Clinton administration’s claims of vast job gains in the 1990s, the United States averaged only 1.3 million new jobs per year in the Clinton years.

Charles Schultze, an economist at the Brookings Institution who worked in the Johnson and Carter administrations. Saysthe Kennedy/Johnson tax cut helped the economy continue to grow in 1965 and 1966.
　Median family income grew by an average of $4000 under Reagan. And do you really want to go into the FACTS of the Obama and Democrat controlled Congress. And what gains they have made? You know like the money for shovel ready jobs. As Obama laughed and stated. “Well I guess they weren’t so ready“. So you can keep saying cuts don’t work But the facts show different. Even if you go in the Bush years and the liberal figures of 0 net jobs for Bush. But the facts actually say jobs were created. We didn’t come out negative. How has the policies of Obama worked out. Down to only 9.1% unemployment. Want to take that as another great thing Obama did? The only job creation he can brag about are new Federal jobs. But of course you will say how Obama inherited such a bad economy. Reagan did also.unemployment at 11% and high inflation. From Fact check “By the time he (Clinton) left office, the economy was slowing rapidly, and it slipped into recession in March 2001, just weeks after George W. Bush was sworn in”And Obama got the job he asked for. He had the Congress and a filibuster proof Senate. Did Reagan or Bush? And what did Obama do? Pushed his healthcare bill through instead of creating jobs. He has been campaigning since he was sworn in. Instead of creating jobs. He has shown a total lack of experience. And leadership. He takes no responsibility for ANYTHING that has gone wrong. And damn little has gone right.Now he makes a back door ruling to help get his Latino voters back in line. He makes LAW now instead of going through Congress. Wait that’s something else you believe in isn’t it. Go around the law. Like the use of the 14th amendment. Just dictate what the liberals want. Of course you will be like all the liberal/progressive whiners and say he was just doing the right thing. I saw a Immigration lawyer last night. Who made the statement that those that come here illegally are not breaking the law. Well, could have fooled me. I guess those who rob are not breaking the law either. Looters are not criminals. They need those big screen TV’s to survive. But let’s be fair it gives them something the rich had to work for. So that’s ok then it must be fair and equal. You bring up the rule of law quite often. Whose definition are you using? A Clinton book of definitions or the dictionary?

Yeah mark I have a very good idea. And according to my Bible Jesus would agree GET THEM JOBS. Quit with the B/S. Remember teach them to fish and they can feed themselves and others for life.

And thats not buying a $1.5 million dollar bus made in Canada. For 1 weeks use.

Or telling everyone we must cut down on exhaust emmisions and having a 40 vechicle caravan of buses and SUVs. to CAMPAIGN at the tax payers expense.

Everyone?  Certainly not.  Food stamps only go to people with very limited income, often under $10,000 a year.  What is the alternative to pay very limited food costs ($6 a day for people with NO income and NO assets and NO help from family or Church) and basic health costs for poor people who cannot get a job today’s economy?

The alternative is 45 million diseased, starving people in the USA.  Even if you have no compassion whatsoever for 1/7 of the American People — and if you do, you certainly cannot call yourself a Christian (or Jew or Muslim) — do you not think that 45 million starving, diseased people would be a health risk?  Would that not lead to a crime wave, riots, and violence?  

What would you do if you were starving and there were no jobs available?  What do you think millions would do?  Look at what’s happening in Great Britain.

Food stamps are necessary not just because they are moral and because they are very strong stimulus to the economy. The reason is, even if you are totally selfish and don’t give a damn about your fellow American, you have to recognize that having 45 million extremely unhappy starving and dying people around you harms your own safety.

It also hurts rich incomes to deny the poor food stamps.  Who do you think buys the products that make corporate America rich?  The people that work for grocery stores and packing plants and food processing plants, all of whom are hired to provide food for all Americans.

Although I guess if we just shot the 45 million, we could increase burial jobs. Is that your solution?  What would you do for the poor and disabled and aged and sick?  My solution is education, jobs, and a very very basic safety net.  What’s your solution?  Fatten them up and feed them to the rich?  (Jonathan Swift’s Modest Proposal.)  Seriously, what’s your solution?  Do you have one other than “let them die”?

What would Jesus do?
