  1. Of course Trump cut food stamps.. he still thinks a high majority of recipients are of color or foreign or lazy… no way corporate greed could be at fault.. not to the "elite".

  2. Like me im unable to work im half Disabled i even tried to join Military and tried get a job unless i work at Goodwill
    I dont abuse my Food stamps

  3. So they really believe that by simply giving people food stamps, that it encourages them not to work? What about all their other expenses that a food card can't help with! People need an income of some sort and not just a food card! Get real!

  4. i worked 30 year i became disabled the government will not give me my disability i worked and paid into. so i have to get food stamps..

  5. Good. You people need to get off your lazy asses and stop buying whole carts full of candy, 2 liter sodas, and boxes of twinkies. I've worked in retail for 3 years and that's what 80% of EBT users use their food stamps for. If you dont do that then I am very proud of you and I thank you. Stop ruining it for everyone else you fat slobs.

  6. Did Trump cut off ANY Israelis from their billions in yearly – every year – U.S. taxpayer indebted, "aid to Israel", and netanyahu's regime??? Even one dime, nickel or penny?

  7. Using hunger as a scatter-gun weapon to nudge people either into desperate measures or work exploitation is both wicked and economically a race-to-the-bottom

  8. Jobs are not secure enough to have a work requirement.some folks are working 20hrs.only and have to use public transportation to get there and back so cannot really get a 2nd job.these are the ones who need assistance and not be penalized

  9. The way they have the Department of Welfare setup once you get on welfare you are trapped within 10 days of getting a job you have to report it then they immediately take away all help which leaves you and your family high and dry with no money saved and no way to support the whole family it is a trap and they punish you for trying to better yourself !!!! If you do get a job you are usually driving a car you could only afford while on welfare which means it will break down for sure because you can't afford a nice car with the money you get when living on welfare and it's hard to get any help with everyone else trying to survive on the low pay and poor working conditions of today !

  10. Your guest said that getting food stamps didn't mean that those on it were not looking for a job…
    He really needs to go there and see… there is no want to work when someone else's money is being given to you, your house is free and all your medical expenses are paid for by other that can't get the same treatment.
    48% on food stamps are white men… wow, you mean in a country where 70% of people are white….amazing, huh?
    I know Mexicans and Blacks that call us stupid for giving them everything… and I agree with them…. cut'm all off.
    It's time to man up, you worthless worms.

  11. Trump using his racism again. He doesn't care even if he hurts his base. The truth is he has to cut poor peoples assistances to come close to affording his tax cuts and all his corporate welfare tax cuts and other benefits he has given to his rich friends.

  12. It won't save enough money to cover welfare the wealthy and corporations are getting. It appears to be designed to punish folks for being poor.

  13. Vote blue 2020 Its better than Trump and GOP. When people are working but don't have a living wage they need help.

  14. Many of us need food stamps because our paychecks are too small to cover all the bills. President needs to raise the minimum wage and fund workforce training programs. Otherwise, he's pushing even more people into poverty.

  15. INCREASE FOOD STAMPS. FOR HEAVENS SAKE WHY MEASURE THEIR CALORIES. THAT IS THE TACTIC OF ISRAEL ON THE PALESTINIANS. SLOWLY STARVE THEM. AND MORE THAN HALF OUR NATIONAL BUDGET GOES TO THE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT. SHAMEFUL TIME IN THIS COUNTRY. THEY MEASURE EVERY CENT IN INDUSTRY TO MAKE A PROFIT. CUT QUALITY WHICH INCREASES RISK TO LIVES. WORSHIP THE PENNY AND SPEND THOUSANDS ON A TAX PAID TOILET FOR MILITARY.

  16. Food Stamp Program is the least of worries for our Nation: minimize the USA Corporations' power of handling the Debt and Income Ratio (the Bank System owns the world) as well to establish a balance of Anti-Trust Laws where the powerful monopoly of private and public industries are kept in place to allow financial opportunities for all! In other words: Stop the Abuse of Power of the few….it is the culprit of our nation self-destruction financial collapse…Do you know how many Billions are spent on proxy wars, Black Projects Operations from NASA, Pentagon, CIA, FBI etc. The Whole System is corrupt and blaming on the helpless poor is their big idiotic mistake!

  17. There is this Andrew Yabg trying to become president in 2020. His main promise is that everyone above 18 deserves $1,000 a month. Check him out at Yang2020.com. He has 87 other policies listed on his website. Please consider voting for him . it will change life for all our poor brothers and sisters. In many states you have to be registered Democrat to vote in the Democratic primaries. his main challenge is getting through the primaries. So please consider registering as a Democrat voting for him

  18. I am an American Black Woman with 2 children and I do not need food stamps or govt housing. Nothing feels like working and paying for my own housing and food. Thank God for education and self will. Lord help me as I help myself.
