Food Stamp participation on the Peoria.com Forums

A sure sign of that economic recovery that the libs keep clamoring about:

The chart shows demand has leveled off on the last two bars and it is now April. What is the food stamp demand for Feb. & March?

Food stamp use is a trailing indicator. You seem to be confused with 'recovery' versus 'recovered'.

ya, that's your standard response Mahkno.

Even assuming it's true, this "recovery" has been ongoing for about a year now according to the administration, so eventually even the "trailing indicators" you keep pointing to should catch up. They aren't.

Food Stamp program needs reform. Should only be able to purchase core foods, and no ready made items.

There are leading indicators, trailing indicators and concurrent indicators. What does the GDP chart look like?

Tell that to the single parent, who has worked all day that they now has to fix all meals from scratch.

Someone needs to.

Oh my, poor babies. My wife and I do that NOW (we both work), and we do it on our own dime rather than someone else's. It's called personal responsibility, and I know it's not a trait of the left, but methinks it's time they learned.

Wife and I work as well, all meals are made from scratch. Most times we prep the night before after the kids are down.

I don't know what it is to be a single parent, but I know what it is like to work all day, get home start dinner and deal with the kids while the wife is workingl.

Maybe we should get on SNAP Pock, then we could just stop and bring home take out every night on the Weed's dime. She seems interested in lending us a hand financially speaking. And dammit, we're ENTITLED!!!

Gee...generalize much?

Or you can just stop and get steak and shrimp like I saw this morning on the Link Card. No cheap steak either- Four pack of ribeye.

blah blah blah...

Blahbitty blah blah...

At this point, the bipartisan squabbling makes me want tosay one thing to everyone.

SHUT the F*CK up!!!!

I'm SO tired of this nit picky BS, looking for everything available to blast each other.
I'm pretty sure every poor person that relies on food stamnps doesn't give one **** about politics.

You people and your stupid arguing...
Remind me of me and my brother when we were kids. Finding ANYTING to compain about.
I'm so done with it..

"Look how the left is screwing this country up!"
"Look how the right is screwing this country up"

BOTH sides have SCREWED this country up.
No one is more to blame than the other. HELLO! WAKE UP!!!!

Friggin' children...

I've said it before..
"Anytime you rob Peter to pay Paul, you have Paul's permission"

As long as the benefits don't stop, i'm sure they don't care at all.

For what it is worth.. I don't play the left and right game, I dislike the both equally.
