69. Cutting food stamps in Texas was a disaster.

Yes Gov. Rick Perry laid off the state workers of the Federal food stamp program. Food stamps stopped. The mothers with children had to wait in line at food banks, and ask churches to feed their children and infants. It was a disaster. Texas could not find the trained special paperwork clerks needed. So reinstating the food stamp program stalled. Hunger continued. Finally the Federal Gov't fined the State of Texas about 3.7 Million dollars for messing up the Federal food stamp program.

Last summer large groups of youths got together and went in to small food stores and took foods, drinks, etc. and left without paying.

If hunger/famine happens nationwide, will mothers bring their children to local hospitals for the State's foster care to pick up the bills? Seems like food stamps are about $155.00 a month per child, at the most, for the poorest income brackets. No adults receive food stamps unless they are totally disabled. What is the cost of a child in foster care?

Here is another loop hole: Food stamps are with the Farm Bill that is being debated. Farmers can grow/produce enough food, very easily, to feed these children.
