Remaining President when you know you are no longer

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?

About 5 to 10 percent of the money spent on the food stamp program.

So you want to spend billions in enforcement to avoid a thousand in
waste. How foolish of you.

Another false argument
You have waste in the MILLIONS, if not billions

I asked Jason how much he would be willing to spend to avoid $1,000 in
fraud.

Take it up with Jason, he's the one who wants to spend huge amounts.

USDA says fraud is about 1% of SNAP. Do you have a cost-effective way to
cut it further? They want to hear about it.

In your previous post you claimed 5%
Apparently your numbers fluctuate with every post
And they you wonder why no one takes you seriously
