GOP Appalled By $80 Billion Cost In Food Stamps. To Them Too Many People Don't Want To Work

So they want to cut the program and blame the cost on so many takers. Besides the churched should be feeding these people.
With all these low paying jobs around people should not have to depend on government.

...and they want to ensure that none of the recepients are illegal aliens


I want to drug test defense contractors and farm subsidy recepients. I want to ensure that none of them employ illegal immigrants -- including in domestic capacity. And since the income tax is "unfair", we should go to what I think of as the "RealFairTax" -- National Property Tax. Let those who own America pay for it.

Isn't it obvious that if you want to reduce the cost of welfare that you decrease poverty, increase jobs, enforce a living wage, decrease healthcare costs, etc., etc., etc. But that is just too difficult a problem for their imbecilic minds. If they applied their logic to traffic engineering, they'd say the solution to too many cars on the road is to get rid of the roads.

But the problem isn't just that they are idiots, they're also just fucking assholes who take pleasure in others suffering. May they reap what they sow.
