"The U.S. has spent $3.7 trillion on welfare in the past five years, with virtually nothing to show for it."

It's not what we have to show; it's what we don't have to show. No rioting peasants, no starving in the parks, very little freezing on door stoops. Domestic Tranquility ain't cheap.

Might I suggest, if you don't like food stamps, start agitating employers to pay living wages, instead of relying on the feds to keep their employees fed in the manner to which most of us are accustomed. You might want to start with McDonald's and Walmart, but don't forget Papa John's, who thinks you can have either well-paid employees, or you can have this,but you can't have both.



Pope San Francisco needs to come to the US, and eviscerate Ayn Rand.
