    It's also true in the UK and Australia,unfortunately .. and neither country has 'food stamps'. Not that I'm not applauding Drumpf's move.

    They aren't-but dems want images of poor, starving kids from ethiopia in your head.


    Trump Administration Tightens Food Stamp Eligibility Requirements for SNAP Recipients
    U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue said the final rule would move more able-bodied SNAP recipients toward self-sufficiency and into employment.
    “Now, in the midst of the strongest economy in a generation, we need everyone who can work, to work. This rule lays the groundwork for the expectation that able-bodied Americans reenter the workforce where there are currently more job openings than people to fill them,” Purdue said.

    What special benefits would homeless veterans receive, that other veterans don't?

    Interesting. How do you explain California? Dems enjoy a super majority and we are the poverty capitol of the US. The gap between the rich and poor is huge and there are very few middle class.

    With each passing year, the barrel gets smaller and the fish more numerous.

    What is cheaper, a bag of fat laden synthetic unpronounceable chemicals, or two apples?
    What is cheaper, a six pack of sugar laden, or even sugar free (and cancerous chemical laden) soda, or a gallon of water?
    How much does a weeks worth of groceries cost at the convenience store, versus food pantries?

    Your argument doesn't hold.

    Shall I post a picture of a puppy being kicked and write a meme over it?

    Why do some think that emotions should rule over the application of logic?

    That picture of a fake homeless child that wouldn't be affected by this, even if she was real, really tears at the heart.

    Seems like that money would make quite a dent in building the wall.

    We should also restrict immigration from socialist european countries as they tend to love the freebies.

    This is a patent falsehood, sorry. Weight for weight of the raw ingredients, ALL processed foods (the kind that 'poor' people buy) are more expensive. You cannot add handling, packaging, and processing without adding cost.

    A genuinely poor person would be living on cheap seasonal vegetables, and rice/beans .. all meals cooked from scratch. And they most definitely would not be buying high cost luxury foods like meat and dairy. I know this because I do know poor people. Real poor people, not fat Americans too lazy to cook and with an addiction to high calorie foods.

    And because they sit around all day eating meat and cheese, and drinking soda or beer instead of water.

    We have a similar city here .. with the same problem. Biggest wealth divide in the nation.

    Still waiting for the Progressive Lefties who made these cities what they are, to explain.

    Through referrals and direct outreach, nonprofit agencies and community cooperatives use SSVF funding to quickly house Veterans and their families who are homeless and keep others from slipping into homelessness by providing time-limited supportive services that promote housing stability.

    Haven't you been keeping up with the news? In a few years 30% of the people will be unemployed. If it happens to you don't post about it because we will laugh at you. https://www.iotforall.com/impact-of-artificial-intelligence-job-losses/

    The middle class has been shrinking for over 30 years.. since the factories closed or went overseas.

    That's ok.

    A few years after that climate change will kill them.

    What other predictions without evidence do you have for me to laugh at?

    Still not seeing the specific benefit (dollar amount, if you will) allocated to homeless veterans which is not also available to other veterans.

    Maybe Obama didn't want Americans to starve to death like Clinton, Bush, and PODS trump?

    That's one of the funnier explanations I've seen :D

    Now try explaining why that only impacts PROGRESSIVE cities?

    Why do you assume he wouldn't be able to support himself through job loss? Weird.
