Food Stamps and LOBSTER?? .... did you see this?

Click on the image to enlarge it and weep:
That's not bad enough, but the guy sold the lobster and steaks! Snopes, of course, says TRUE...but 'he broke no law' :-) Tell me.......are we so lost that 'breaking no law' seems to excuse it?  Liberal Snopes seems to think so.

Do any of YOU like the idea of our taxpayer dollars being spent on lobster and steak? I don't begrudge some people from getting help........but this?

Maybe the Obamas bought the lobster?  :-)

There would be no food stamp abuse.... if there were no food stamps.

Each bit of ground given on "entitlement" issues merely lets the seed of totalitarianism take root. It blossoms and bears fruit, and the lost ground of whther or not there should be food stamps at all is now teeming with "shouldn't the government be controlling what they eat?"

That last link in the post is quite something.

Years ago, my disabled cousin (Brittle Bone Disease finally took him down in his 40s -- arthritis at every site of an old bone break so that he could no longer work -- he had worked consistently since age 16) qualified for $80 of food stamps every month. The head honcho at the food stamps "agency" told my cousin that he could have gotten more in food stamps if he'd been an immigrant. No kidding!

Anyway, my cousin surely couldn't have afforded to buy lobster on his meager allotment of money and food stamps. Hell, he couldn't even afford to rent any apartment and, instead, had to room with friends or relatives.

Maybe the obama's did. And the champagne along with it. After all, we must re-distribute the pleasures .

AOW, isn't it? Apparently, the Obama's like it a LOT. They serve it at their Wednesday night cocktail parties, too..not sure they still the dazzling celeb list parties every week; we can't know because the media covers for them. Are they continuing?

Grouchy, right!


HERE's something sad: A lefty who can't comment here anymore wrote a comment I found in Moderation saying this isn't true ;-) Isn't it sad, particularly because I showed the TRUTH in leftwinger SNOPES's link and they still insist we're wrong? I mean, these people are so LOST.

Z,
Was it a lefty who cites sources or one who just says "FOX lies, wingnuts, LOL"?

Perseverating.
