How exactly are a failing economy, rapid global climate change, and governments illegally collecting private information about thier citizens imaginary issues? And what would you consider REAL problems if those aren't? Evolution taught to children? Gay's having civil rights? Maybe black people and women not being property?

You're dismissing the issues the Liberals highlight, I highlighted some of the past crusades of the Conservatives. I invite you to name some "real problems" the liberals are overlooking.

WOW!!!! where do i start?

#1 This started about a man who killed a "HOOKER" call her what you want but read the court report she put a add on crigslist sex for hire just in more words, she arrived took the $150 told the guy she had to take it to her ride outside and tired to leave with the money (take the money to her pimp). He demanded his money back she refussed he shot her end of story, i seen where some of you compare this to buying a movie not liking it and killing the store clerk for not taking it back, this is more like calling lawn service to cut your grass they show up take your money and try to leave without even unloading the gear, you demand a refund and shoot them to get it....Now its still murder however if your gonna be a criminal what do you expect.

#2 The whole the south poverty level debate....I live in South GA our Poverty rating in this small town is huge based on a rich greedy government, yes there tax deductions ect for farm owners/works and we still stay below the poverty line and the reason is ARE YOU HIGH AND MIGHTY DC ****TARDS GONNA GET OFF YOUR *** AND GROW YOUR OWN ****? Hell no they force us in the south into a spot where its work on a farm or go without, Yes welfare is out there but who really get's welfare? Women with kids thats who let a single man who cant find a job show up at the welfare office and he will get laughed out the door, and theres nothing wrong with that tbh but our government gives no insensitive for Factory's to move into the south its all about keeping big business at there back door so they can keep a hand in everyone pocket. All that to the side ive lived in atlanta and south GA, in atlanta i made $13.5 a hr in a grocey store manager....in South Ga i make $9.5 a hr as a security guard, I rent a 3 bed room house on an acre of land for $175 less then i payed for a 1 bedroom apartment 8 years ago in atlanta, i also shared a bathroom with others in that apartment complex and that was cheapest place i could find in Atlanta. My light bill runs about the same in both areas however down here in the south my light bill includes water, sewer, garbage pickup, internet and cable...People dont try to get rich off the poor as bad in the south. Landlords dont charge more then a bank would for rent and then provide 0 Service, we may be of a poorer class and you may see us as slow and dumb people who "rape the environment" but the truth is when the zombie apocalypse hits your all gonna be looking for a Southerner to show you how to live off the land and kill that undead dirt bags.

The biggest concerns for the future of the middle class is its extinction.

I'm sorry. Decent paying jobs should make the employe ineligible for food stamps.

.... I'm talking people who work 40 hrs/week....|

As was I.

There are some people who have two full time earners in the family and are STILL on food stamps.

Doesn't take much, 2 adults & 3 kids, check out the federal poverty level for a family of 5. You can make 125% of that level (and it will differ by city and state) and still be eligible for food stamps.

Some military families are on food stamps too.

Oh... lets not forget that food stamps are also subsidies for farmers and producers.

Food Stamps should also be limited to necessities instead of being allowed for use with junk food. Milk, Eggs, meats, healthy snacks. Shouldn't be used on Cheetos and other foods excessively high in sodium or sugars....

Why... why... that's UNAMERICAN. Just ask Coke and Frito-Lay. They fight HARD to keep WIC type restrictions off food stamps.

I think it does vary by state, because in Massachusetts a lot of people who work 40 hours a week aren't eligible. They "make too much money", even with children. This is just Mass. though. I can't speak for anywhere else.

But when you have cases like this:
Michigan woman wins $1-million lottery, still collects welfare

You wonder why the system is still screwed up. :|

So Food Stamps should limit people to eating like our government tells us we should eat?

The only thing they need to do on Food Stamps is better checks on what there being used for if someone buys $300 worth of sodas and a case worker comes to that persons house and finds no sodas and beer cans everywhere PUT 2 and 2 together!!!!

Ive seen my fair share of a higher rate of Food Stamp's being used to buy one person grocery in exchange for cigarettes alcohol and even Maryjane....

Also can we get smarter case workers? Even i know that Jane Doe is not the mother of John Doe, Jose Francisco, Bob Li, and Dj Jones when she is only 20 yrs old and never spend a single day in the hospital....Ok extreme but you get the picture lol

You just explained why, using your first real point, why they shouldn't be allowed to be spent on junk food. Seriously. Robert Downey Jr. Said it best in Tropic Thunder: You never go full retard.

There should be a limit on *what types of food they can buy*, I never specifically mentioned anything about quantity. Keep in mind some younger mothers adopt children, without the means to care for them, without food stamps or welfare, just so these kids have something just as important - a family.

If you're going to swing that wildly, I'd honestly expect you to hit at least on cohesive statement that actually supports your argument, rather than supporting mine. Officially: Worse than Amandarius and Tenshibaby combined.

More oversight and stiffer penalties would discourage people from abusing the system, for sure. Another big issue is how cryptic and undefined a lot of these programs are.

The girl who won the lottery but was still entitled to welfare because she technically had no income is a good example. Why does it take that kind of exposure for the gaping holes in these programs to be addressed?

Another example being the young couple I was behind in line at Fred Meyer buying a bunch of groceries with food stamps and a PS3 with cash. I think you should have to submit a full breakdown of your finances and be regularly auditted if you are receiving that kind of aide. That's not to say that people shouldn't be allowed some luxuries even while accepting aide, but they should have to justify thier non-escential expenditures. The 350 bucks they spent on the PS3 would cover the majority of thier food expenses for that month, how is it they can afford that but require assistance for food?
