Person 'A' makes a statement that implies anyone with an EBT card can go to any fast food restaurant for a meal.
He didn't say that, you just *entirely* made that up and ran with it.

You're one of the biggest loonbag morons around here.

Apparently some communists believe you can. I can see this sailing through and becoming law pretty quick. When I left that loony state a few years back they had just made EBT cards acceptable at fast food establishments.


Which is true, as stated.

The fact that you have to be homeless or over 60 or whatever doesn't change his statement in the least- the stupid part is that it's fast food restaurants rather than limited to places that serve something healthier. (In fact, it's even dumber that people with easily the most health problems already- disabled, homeless, elderly- should be eating crap from Jack in the Box rather than something healthier). But you're too much of a fucking moron to ever understand what's been said.

I provide information that shows only a certain, very specific, subsection of people are able to do so and only at specifically designated restaurants (some of which are fast food outlets).

That make me "owned"?

You certainly have a unique perspective on life.

Once again, Liberals putting words in people's mouths and then trying to tell them they are wrong. Maybe something was lost in the Canadian/American translation.......

Just watch the price of diapers go up now. Diapers are already expensive enough and now by subsidizing them, the price will go even higher.

Diapers don't seem like an elastic demand item. Plus this might have public health benefits above the program costs if poor parents change diapers when they get dirty rather than let the kid wallow in soiled ones. Like I said earlier CA may need to come up with something so the recipients don't simply resale the diapers for cash.

i had surprise triplets and we spent 600-800 buck a month in diapers. Also spent 1k-2k a month on special formula because all three of the kids needed stuff that cost 40 dollars a can. We were well enough off to take care of it but it took a big dent out of our slush fund....slush as in avoiding the slush and snow in winter with vacations....


Helping needy children...... aint nobody got time for that......



If only you guys hated corporate welfare as much.. Maybe we need to call the poor a corporation.

Well I see you live in the super rich section of Indy so like you said that 800 bucks was nothing.

With the working poor and not so working (folks on Govt tit) apartments along Georgetown rd, where else?

You are probably talking the 56th - 71st street stretch of Georgetown, am I right? If so, the answer to the "where else" question is: pretty much anywhere else.

This is why I wish I were the type to just sit back and let the government take care of me. Hell - I don't drink or smoke anyway - just sit back and let them pay all my bills; pay for me to have children; pay for their diapers; pay for my healthcare; buy me food; along with all the discounts on housing and such; do a little pay under the table work so I have extra spending money... they just keep making it more and more appealing to just say "fuck it" and join the mass of welfare people instead of being part of the group that supports them.

Yep, a unique perspective on life indeed.

btw, who are these "Liberals" you're referring to and why are you mentioning them to me?
