I'm not so sure people will riot, at least not at first.  But when the food runs out at the end of the month, maybe then.  It never ceases to amaze me... "spent $18 BILLION" for weapons and ammo to put down riots.  Why not have used some of that money and just not cut the food stamps?  Of course, that makes sense.  And that's not what our government is exhibiting these days.

Cheryl  I just read Dave Hodges America's Report Card and we have become the dumbest unhealthy nation, so your right.

It's an average number, Jim.  Each state is different.  In Virginia, it's $200 for a single person.  A family of three gets around $500 (before the cuts).

Byron, for the first time, I got a vegetable.  Notice that is singular.  It was a tiny, wrinkled green pepper.  I threw Grandpa Pepper away.  It is so rare you get something like green beans.  You'll get canned beans (HFCS) and cheap spaghetti sauce (basically tomato sauce with a few spices) and lots of GMO sweet corn. 

So, when you read all the stats about how dumbed down Americans have become, diet is probably the number one culprit, with poor education number two.

They showed big numbers.  But on the local news they said that the average receiver of food stamps is $125.00 / month.  That is a whopping $26. a week for food to feed a family!   I would like to see them plan meals at that price!  After a diet of  arsenic / lead laced rice for a month I wonder what the doctor/ hospital bill will be?

Before I retired four years ago I used to shuttle people to the food banks and they would offer me things out of their box and I couldn't find anything I would even eat. I knew at that time these people were on the road to a slow death, the vegetable should of been thrown away last week. Like you said junk food that I have never seen the brands. I saw out dated meat that had been frozen. There is no reason that we can't take care of the poor.

Mad, or desperate.  Or both.

This month at the food bank was pathetic.  My friend got a pack of pig's feet.  She didn't know what to do with it, so she gave it away.  I got a small pack of ribs, big enough for one person with no appetite.  Oh, but we got plenty of that good GMO corn.  And fattening snacks full of salt and MSG and HFCS.  And my favorite treat, white bread.  Mmmmm.  No nutrition whatsoever.  Breakfast of champions, I say. 

She's on SSI and really, really depends on the food bank.  Me, not as much since I get SSDI, but if the food banks are getting so overloaded with people and then food stamps are cut, it's not going to be good.

I was in the middle class before I became disabled, so being poor was never a way of life for me.  Now that I see how the poor are treated, I feel really bad for them.  If we can find money for wars and all its accoutrements, we can find a way to make sure people eat better and get enough to eat.

I think they are planting the idea in peoples heads to be mad and riot. Next time they will know exactly what to do. That is an interesting thought about then running out at the end of the month and then getting mad.
