Who cares how much drugs it gets you? If people are doing it, they are doing it and wasting the purpose of the program.
Does anyone believe that one in five people can't afford to pay for their own food? The math to me doesn't make sense.
hey man you can make it appear any way you want..the left usually does..here you go there are 3.3 million people in the state of oregon..us that figure to argue your point..keep ignoring what I am saying ..oh yeah count the illegals well fk man three hundred thousand more..that the gov claims.. no man it was no mistake, not taken out of context. if you want to check look at the actual employment figures, compare to state, fed, schools county retirees...its not that big of a reach
if you base it upon a monthly income like a min wage job or less, then yeah. They qualify. and I called its 1600 and less, so I was wrong
No, man. Fed, 30,000. (25000 of the 55K are retirees). State government (excluding some things like the universities) 32,000. Teachers, 85,000. U of O has 4500 staff. Figure the other big public universities have about the same. That gets you up to about maybe 200,000. You need another 800,000 government workers to reach 50%. Where are they hiding? barfo
I'm not ignoring what you are saying. I'm asking you for evidence. All you are saying is "look around". Well, I've looked around. I think you are believing something you want to believe, instead of looking at the facts. barfo
common man. state. fed. county. schools. unions. simple. you cant grab a stat he and there and do the left wing math. How many employed in the state in total, take away those employed by schools, their unions, state, county city pretty friggen basic.
man I have zero desire to do a complete research peice just to satisfy you. I reported just what Lars and the Oregonian stated. It made the news here at that time. I believe it to be fact. If you dont want to believe it, fine , no skin off my ass
Who, specifically? I would think most people against these entitlement programs were also against the bailouts.
Hahahaa Barfo, spoken like a true liberal. Anything opposed to your line of thought is wrong or incorrect, regardless of anything else. You know I have enjoyed good banter, I can have my mind changed, I am not so closed minded that I refuse to see another's point of view. Just because I do not bother to pull up a piece from a year ago, to satisfy only you..well I must be in error.
No, that's not why you must be in error. The fact that the numbers don't agree with your point of view is why you must be in error. barfo
that number does seem a little high. Thats why I'm thinking that a lot of the people included in that are people who get minimum benefits. They changed "Food Stamps" name to "SNAP (Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program) about 2 years ago iirc. I bolded the supplemental part as thats key to me. People might be able to pay for their own food, but also qualify for some of that to be supplemented. I would really like to see how many families or cases fall in the $0-$50 range $51-100, and so on.
I saw some of these EBT welcome signs at Fast Food places in California a couple months ago... talk about angering me...
