Chump change, eh?

Quote:The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) issued over $2.4 billion in improper payments on food stamps in fiscal year 2014, according to a new audit by the Office of Inspector General (OIG).

In a report detailing the agency’s financial statements for the year, the OIG accounted for improper payments made from the most high-risk Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) programs.

The OIG said the government has been building up the food “safety net” for decades, adding programs so that now one in four Americans now receive federal food assistance.

The food stamp president for the leeches of society. This is what you get.

Cue a Socialist to make the claim that this was economic stimulus.

How dare the poor, elderly, students, and recently unemployed ask their govt for help!? Moreover, how dare the US government help it's needy citizens...leeches for asking!!! Bastard socialists for giving!!!

lol, I have no idea how people can view their fellow Americans like that.

I have no idea how people can't look at this chart and not see leeches. Then again not being a blind progressive liberal I can't think like them.

When the economy tanks, people lose their jobs, when that happens, people go on SNAP...moreover, it's a supplemental program, not necessarily temporary.

If you keep feeding a stray dog, it never leaves and never learns to hunt for itself. The dog basically becomes a de facto parasite. Same goes for people on the dole.

Hunger, need for better shelter, and disdain from society are far better motivators to move a person from taker to maker than any so-called benevolent government program that rewards the inability to take care of one's responsibilities. I fully support helping those that CAN'T; however, I loathe those that WON'T or create responsibilities that they cannot support. Liberals live in the world of "should", whereas conservatives live in a world of reality and accountability.

'It' isn't a stray dog...it's a US citizen...statistically it's a working adult with a child.

Unreal. Only a leftist would not understand that the system is being used by those that aren't truly needy. In your utopia, there are really 46 million people in this country that need welfare. Based on the midterms, Americans aren't buying that nonsense now.

It is someone that cannot support their own nor their spawn's existence in this country. I received no pleasure from the orgasm that created this additional responsibility, yet I am held accountable to pay for the aftermath. Screw you, your "moral" obligation to help the parasitic class was never intended by this country's founders to be my legal imperative to do so.

Evidently you failed to read the article. The problem here is the we have no idea if the money actually went to help anyone in need. I would think that would concern do-gooders.

Just do not like the fraud and mismanagement. Nothing wrong with helping someone out while they are trying to get back on their feet.

This.

I like the name snap to make it cool to be a leech. Obama loves leeches and dumb people as his regime says

Sadly the White families I know that need Food Stamps were All given a reduction in the Amount They received in 2014. Guess all of those Foreigners waiting at the enrollment centers had to get some Benefits too. How many of Them ever paid taxes ?

This.

The fraud and mismanagement are inexorably tied to the fact that this program has to be administered by the federal gov't. Just give the individuals to money straight up.

how does one steal something they qualify for? moreover, you don't know me or my family...nice try, though.

again, I've never hidden the fact that 10 years ago (more like 11 now) when I was a full time student, working a job, I was on food stamps for a little over 6 months...that was when I truly realized just how important a life line it is to many Americans.

yet all you want to do is launch personal attacks...

Life line, yes. Dependency, no.
