Remaining President when you know you are no longer capable of
performing the duties is the worst kind of treason because it's
endangers the country more than almost anything anyone could do.

Show me where that is grounds for treason. You lefties really are
dumb****s.

When there is a lefty getting all up in arms about RR and his
alleged
Alzheimers, I ask them if that is true, aren't they sorta ashamed
by the
fact that this demented old man handed their assess to them on numerous
occassions?
Tends to shut them up at least temporarily.

We're being nice to him. If he did not have Alzheimers, he was just
being a very bad man. The fact that he could get enough hate-filled
Americans to support him in his war on the poor (particularly if they
were of color) shows us how much racism, sexism and bigotry still
remains in this country.

Of course, today, the GOP would never consider Reagan because he was far
too liberal for their taste. They worship a fake St. Ronnie who looks
little like the man who was actually president.

The War on Hunger had been won by the time Reagan became President. He
dismantled the apparatus that had worked and now we have 50 million
Americans who are food insecure, almost all of the children, the
elderly, and hard-working adults.

For that alone, Reagan deserves to be cursed every single day.

Perhaps the program suffered the malaise of many government giveaway
programs which is becoming a huge corrupted and wasteful organization.
Food Stamps became the secondary legal tender for the underground and
criminal economy. The EBT card is being used in the same way. I've seen
the credit on the cards being sold for 50 cents on the dollar by someone
who wanted to buy booze or dope. Food Stamps now the EBT card is a major
part of the illegal drug trade. I've seen people trade their
EBT credit for cash to buy cigarets, pot and alcohol instead of food
for "their children". So the P.L.L.C.F. blame the behavior of the
parents on Republican presidents. Gee, that makes a lot of sense. ^_^

TDD

Thanks for the best post that I have seen today. I know the story of a
local mother of three kids. She trades her food stamps for marijuana and
cocaine.

And that is a crime, but it is not an excuse to take food stamps away
from those who are not violating the law. Clearly those who want to take
food stamps away from everyone are people who hate what Jesus taught,
who mock what Jesus taught.

I agree that it's not an escuse to end the food stamp program. However, it
is evidence that officials need to do a better job of enforcing the food
stamp rules.

How much are you willing to spend in enforcement to avoid $1,000 in
fraud?

Idiot. It doesn't cost much to limit the uses of "food stamps". Will
it get 100% of the fraud? No, but it's a *lot* better than having
handing out EBT cards that can be used in any cash machine.
