That is the problem with the system.Those who really need the assistance get $crewed by those who keep having kid''''s so they don''''t have to work. Start keeping track of these people and deny them a increase.

You either haven''t kept up with the law changes over the last 20 years OR you just don''t care.

It''''s true, cantshutup, -if you can''''t feed em, don''''t breed em! is a good slogan. I say we medically alter all adults that has one child, who doesn''''t work or hasn''''t graduated from High School when they have a second child and have no means to be self supporting. Obviously women will be much more affected by this, but eventually we''''ll catch up with the men too. MANDATORY NUETORING!
You have NO idea how disgusting it is to see someone reporting they''''ve had ANOTHER baby and wants to know how much more they will get for benefits. One woman came in, 5 kids and wanted to have Medicaid pay for her tubes to be untied, ''''cause she and her boyfriend really want a child together ... it was all I could do not to scream at her! Bottom Feeders!

So in your poor tortured Nazi brain this one incident which is without a doubt a LIE.... justifies what. You wacked out fascist are beneath contempt. These are real American''s how are in need of food Stamps BECAUSE there aren''t jobs people can work at and make enough to pay for the gas let alone have enough left to pay for food. Sieg Heil Bush

My state and surrounding states are suffering form a labor shortage so extreme that convenience stores offer $400-$500 signing bonuses just to show up and pass a drug test. 21 year olds who are drug-free and can lift 50 lbs. get jobs starting at $50k/yr. We sent more than one delegation to Michigan offering incentives including benefits and housing, and had a poor showing for the effort.

In 1917, my great grandfather died - leaving a family on a ranch in North Idaho. His wife packed the younger kids up, sold the ranch, took a train to the coast, and started a new life. Because that was what she had to do; it was her responsibility as an adult and a parent. Entitlement has shackled Americans to dependency and poverty, even when opportunity is only a few hundred miles away.

WWIII is coming soon, ever seen the movie "The Road Warrior" from the early 80''s, than look up a preview game titled "Fuels of War" than you will see what is really going to happen down the road. Everyman for himself !! The Rich will have to live in gated and protected housing developments to keep out the less fortunate! It will come my friend, count it ????

[michellem99-2009]

I am thankful for them stamps. cantshutup Dear AMEN..I hear ye ..I am 53 ,legally blind, and knew at 10 I did not want babies for health reasons as I have health issues. Them docs won''t fix a lady''s tubes for what ever reason..They say their church wont allow it. Yer church is yer personal business but as a doc yer duty is to yer patants.. If they got a problem them doctoring is the wrong duty for them.I feel that way.

I tell you I don''t know what people are going to do. Revolution maybe coming sooner than people think.Remember "Let them eat cake"?

[linfinster]

There are hard working families that have come upon hard times that need them too! What about our elderly, who''ve worked hard all their lives for the measly SSA check and hardly no savings - ($2,000 asset limit) We mustn''t forget the real reason the program is there.

I think we should waste our time planting more corn for greener fuels. REALLY MAKE people pay high prices for food. The BIG PIGS of the world are all on the smae side. Gore is NO different than Bush, or hillary, or Obama. Addict people to food stamps, SKYROCK THE COST OF FOOD! Make "rich" country''s buy carbon credits, make all money bad and spread out new money like manure. Control the World and have people "beg" you to do it.

Are we BOOBS?

In Michigan, one in every eight residents is on food stamps; one in seven in Kentucky.

"Hoards of roaming scumbags"...Isn''t that like lunch time at the Capitol?

[hypnotoad72]

cantshutup - I also agree. The question is now "how" as people often do it for fun and can''t be bothered to raise the offspring; at which point EVERYONE suffers.

Maybe if more people kept pets and watched them breed instead...

[barbaraf4]

cantshutup ~ I totally agree!

[cantshutup]

ALL AROUND THE WORLD PEOPLE NEED TO STOP HAVING BABIES!!!!!!!!!!!
