It was supposed to be for temporary assistance. They turned it into a lifestyle. 40 million people shouldn't be relying on our taxes to feed them.

Let me tell you this. I have worked since I’m 13 years old, sometimes 3 jobs. I’m 60 and last year for the first time in my life, because of illness I attempted to get both unemployment and or food stamps. Just to get back on my feet and I was denied both. I am under the poverty level. I have never been so disgusted.

This has been going on since the 1980's. I remember congressional hearings where, if anyone tried to explore, discuss, or just investigate, the usual grifters, Pelosi, Waters, Cunningham (deceased now) Sharpton, Jackson, and a few others shut it down, screaming racism etc etc. Our politicians have largely been cowards
