Missouri and food stamp program

jeryst said

Back in the 30's they created the WPA. Unemployed people got assistance in exchange for working on government projects. That's how a lot of our roads, bridges, and public buildings got built.

Today you get assistance for doing nothing, and our bridges and roads are deteorating because there is so much waste, fraud, and theft in government agencies like the Dept. of Transportation.

Meanwhile, a friend of mine is a disabled Vietnam veteran who has to live on a $1000 a month disability check and food stamps. Last year they cut his food stamps from $200 a month to $25.

this country drafted/sent young men off the the Viet Nam war, spit on them when they returned, so sad!!!


what kind of a country/politican machine do we have where our vets are treated like c***! sorry but that is how I f eel. we should take care of those that deserve our help/support, and the rest well, put them to work doing something constructive.. it would eventually dawn on them, might as well get out and get a real job and join the human race!?

decades ago back in Ga, young man I was... I bought a 60 ac, it had a wet weather flat on one end and a creek on the other... the CPA back in that great depression time, guys dug by HAND a drain ditch that would have been I would guess 1/4 mi long. that is a ditch! it had filed in one one end whne I had bought over those 30-40 years....., I drug it out there and a 5-6 pond drained for 2-3 weeks. I bush hogged it, and ya never heard so many snakes hitting those blades!!!!! but those guys worked for their govn't help. no shame there at all/

what gets me is all the so called disabled that hire a lawyer, and get on SS diasability....... I worked with a woman, she was in her early 50's, dying of cancer, they turned her down!!!!!! make me want to poopin my drawers!

and then you see tons of people on it that can easlly hold down a job..... HA!!!!!! bullc*** !!!! sorry.....
