WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!!??? If I implement humane policies that treat the least among us with respect and dignity, then how can I justify tax cuts for my high dollar friends. I could always borrow more money from China I guess! Listen, unless I completely break the bank in this country, you whacko liberals will continue to fund things like Social Security, Medicare, and education. Those programs don’t do me or my corporate friends any good whatsoever. So a kid or two goes hungry. It builds character. If we just give them food, then what is the incentive to get a job? JEEZ! think it through a little Comment by President Bush — May 21, 2007 @ 1:17 pm

This has got to be the BEST comment ever left on a web article. Back to the subject on hand. Hell not even everybody gets 21$ bucks on food stamps. The amount you get is delgated by your needs and any other imcome such as SSI and SSDI or WIC. Up here in maine food stamps come in on the 11th of each month. Of course SSI and SSDI come in on the on the 1st and 3rd respectivly.

I was raised off of Food Stamps and AFDC It was humiliating. I wanted my mom to get a job I wanted her to work like all the other mothers.

However tell me what is a 40 year old woman with no high school diploma, a 5th grade reading level and no job skills going to do in this America that the republicans say should never give anything to anyone.?????

Shizm....Take the money and buy hush puppies from long john silvers..
then take the corn meal,
and break the hush puppies up into it,
Then cook it all up into corn muffins...

Either that or make more hush puppies if you have the oil..
Hmmm good eats...
