America is gonna be ok, know what I'm sayin?

[Kirkland Laing]

I'm just seeing whether you can agree with me that both parties are entirely bought and paid for by big business. Just a yes or a no is fine.

The only possible difference I can see is Obama's plan to keep spending the same and spend a few trillion over the next four years but I don't think big business is going to be too upset about it.

It doesn't really matter what I think Mr. Charts & Graphs now does it? I mean you'll say I'm wrong if I disagree with you and you'll pat yourself on the back if I agree with you.

You know I'm right, you just can't bring yourself to admit it.

OK, so more people than ever qualify for government assistance. A lot of the people using food stamps will be US army families because they're paid so little they qualify for food stamps. And all the working poor who also qualify. This is a combination of the economic downturn caused by deregulation and both parties being owned by the banks and big business and the rising economic inequality caused by the same thing. Not good at all for America. It's not all freeloaders Lyle, it's people being fucked by big business.

Obama is going to keep all current spending, increase taxes for the top 1% only and spend three plus trillion dollars in new stimulus over the next four years. That will cut food stamp use dramatically to pre-2008 levels.

[Kirkland Laing]

Also, food stamp use is the single most effective stimulus there is. That's because it's all spent immediately. Hopefully part of Obama's new stimulus programmes is increasing food stamp a;lowances for people who qualify for them. At the moment it's only a hundred and thirty a month apparently.

I came into the Army at an E-3 pay grade b/c of my education. My wife didn't work and we had one child before my first promotion. The Army Community Service rep told my wife as an E-3 we didn't qualify for food stamps but did qualify for WIC after our second child was born. I don't know if an E-1 or E-2 qualified or not but mind you a Soldier that entered the Army at E-1 would be and E-3 in a year at a minimum barring UCMJ actions. I read all the articles about rampant use of food stamps by military personnel but every young Soldier I've had with children didn't qualify and neither did I. So I'm not sure who is using food stamps but the window to do so is pretty small.

Food Stamp Cuts Could Hit Military Members, Veterans

[VictorCharlie]

Yes, I've read that article. I wouldn't call 1,000 DOD service members or .001% of the military as a significant amount. Like I said before the window of low base pay combined with the appropriate amount of dependents in order to qualify for food stamps is very small. This is an over stated issue used to pander to the military.

Rabble rabble rabble charts & graphs!!!!!

Kirkland said either way Romney or Obama America is screwed which is why he liked Obama more because?? Oh that's right it would be more of a slow painful easing off the band aid fall from grace as opposed to a rapid drop. Can't argue with him....unless the posts you make agree with his opinion and then he's more likely to agree with you instead of argue so it's all very pointless

I'm making the point that not everybody getting food stamps is a freeloader. The fact that members of the military and tens of thousands of veterans are getting foodtamps helps me get my point across.

And my response to that is "Can't they find meaningful work or is Barak Obama an abject failure of a President who hasn't made good on any of his promises even when the Democrats controlled a Super Majority in the House & Senate?"

And your excuse for him is?

Fair enough but this statement:

"A lot of the people using food stamps will be US army families because they're paid so little they qualify for food stamps"

is not an accurate or fair representation of how many DoD families use food stamps.
