So, my food stamps got cut today

Just checked my balance as it was due to roll over at midnight and we've had a $0.00 balance for about a week. We have been getting $476. It was increased to $481 for some reason in October (something about new allowable deductions). Then it was decreased to $444.00 after November 1 when that budget thing expired. We had to renew, so I sent in all of our stubs, etc. My husband has acquired a third job since our last renewal. This new job pays anywhere from about $25.00 per week to maybe about $60.00 per week. Well, our new SNAP amount is $265.00. I am shaking. We aren't making it with his three jobs (and, yes, I have been trying to find employment) and the $400+ was hard to do with our family of four - and I cook from scratch, use coupons, shop sales, etc. I knew it would be decreased because my husband had a new job. I just didn't think by this much. I am in a full panic at the moment.
 
**** this life. **** the system that allows adults with families to support to work slave jobs for $7.75 an hour. Seriously, **** it all.
 
I've relied on the generosity of so many lately, including some beautiful folks from DU, but it's not way to live. This seriously cannot be okay in what we are told is the greatest country in the world. It's not okay.
 
Has anyone ever appealed a cut like this and had them increase your amount? I sent the required pay stubs, bank statements, rent and utility statements. They can plainly see for themselves that we're not surviving on this.
 
Gotta keep fighting the good fight to increase the minimum wage to something livable.

Lots of interesting stuff to take apart here.... of course the obligatory question of having menial employment and having a family of 4.  Unless he's doing work under the table, 3 jobs should cover all of the basics considering minimum wage.  She can't find work.... but isn't this the hiring season? weren't they just crowing on a different campfire about the unemployment rate?

2. so they essentially cut it by the amount your husband's 3rd job makes?

Geez.
.
Gotta wonder why those work-loving Republicans would make rules that kill incentive. He might as well quit that third job, it seems.
 
Please appeal.

I'm so sorry.

Is your congress critter a Democrat?
would that make it all better if it were true?

That is why I will not help a Republican in trouble. That is because they enjoy hurting others. the GOPPERS remind me of a story about Vietnam. The US forces had captured some female VC. There was a young trooper who was beginning to feel sorry for them being tied up. A experienced soldier had to remind the young trooper that if he were to untie them these women would cut his throat. So remember when you help a GOPPER they will cut your throat eventually.
Nemesis may have some republicans tied up in his basement, the authorities might want to look into that.

Family of four, slightly over $1500.00 below qualifying income for Food Stamps, and receive $54.00 in aid. Have to spend over 10 hours a month at food Pantries.
 Each food truck day (second harvest) at local distribution points (2 in local area=3 trucks per month)more and more people have to get food. The day will not be to far away when demand exceeds supply.
10 hours a month would probably cover whatever food savings you'd get at the pantry if you got a job, just saying...

Notice that every one of these bouncies are carefully crafted to elicit the most sympathy possible. 

There's always the "working three jobs" or "couldn't work because I was caring for my sick child" or "times have been tough because I've been in Rwanda building shelters for orphans" angle; to further convey the "I-don't-deserve-this" aspect.

And woe betide any who point out the fact they have enough money for internet and cable.

They'll counter that they deserve luxuries in their poverty but those who support them do not.

Then they'll tell you it is the GOPs fault for not passing a jobs bill *cough*stimulus*cough* as if any of them would join a road or heavy construction crew.

3 jobs should cover all of the basics considering minimum wage.

The DUmmy merely mentions that he's working three jobs, even if we accept this (merely for the purpose of considering the argument, of course) - there is no mention of how much he is working on each. Three jobs, with two hours per week per job still only adds up to six hours per week...

The DUmmy's name suggests somebody who would live in a hippy commune...so husband with strong work-ethic doesn't immediately spring to mind.

I always see these posts as challenges.  We need to help them out and make a DUmmie SNAP menu planner and shopping list.  So when they start bitching about how horrible the GOPPERS are, we can show them how we would handle the situation.  Also at the end of the list would be written a sample of the saying of grace before eating the meal.

Yeah, that sounds more like a casual day labor than anything that you'd normally call a 'Job,' it's more like what most would call 'A little thing on the side for a few bucks.'

And of course they cut your food stamps by the amount he added, the whole idea of food stamps is to just fill in a critical shortage, not last you for a lifetime in lieu of working for pay.

     If you look at tree-hugger's posts over time, she seems to be a fairly earnest person trying to get her family through things. You can't fault a lot of what she DOES (as opposed to what she SAYS). For example, she and/or her husband seem to be Catholics, and appeal to St. Vincent DePaul for help (one post indicates that she received $400 in direct cash from them). I think that's how most welfare should be handed out: through private donations and the largesse of the church.

     One would THINK that with DU's fervent anti-Christian and anti-Catholic bias, someone receiving cash handouts from a church-aligned charity would be reluctant to contribute posts and money. Yet she does, and for that reason, she is a hypocrite and also a scumbag.

     Tree-hugger: your husband is busting a hump trying to make a living for you and your children. Other people donate and pay taxes so that you and yours can survive in this dreadful 0bama economy. Why not shut your pie hole and find a way to help him out?

     It's possible that things could legitimately suck for her and her family, and 0bamacare is going to make it sucks even worse for her, what with the costs and the incentives it gives companies who hire hourly employees. Just one generation ago, it was impossible for someone to sit on the internet and grouse about life. I suggest she disengage from the connected world and do what our mothers and fathers did: go find ways to scrape together a buck. It's hard to do, but then again she seems crafty enough to make basic tradeoffs. If daycare costs more than her salary, and she wants to raise her kids, then surely there is some piece work she can do at home to either make more money, or to take some of the strain off the back of what must be a hell of a man who is working three hourly jobs.

     Tree-hugger, I salute your husband and I hope you find a way to help him out.

Some have no choice they die in an accident or killed by the bad guys.        Some lay in hospitals hooked up to machines in great pain.

In this movie the people have lived for years in utter devastation, the world they knew is gone, may have been many years since they saw a flower or a rushing brook, a deer in the forest or a clean ocean full of fish.

I took it as the hopelessness of trying to improve a devastated society.  Sure, he had an out and a convenient way to go, but to me, the whole point was how artificial it was.  He had access to books and learning of how things were and should be but that was just not the same as the real deal.  His world had died and decayed long ago due to a grasping tyranical government and a willing society.  Much like many movies of the 70s, it illuminated the futility of it all.  Look at the Easy Riders and Dirty Mary Crazy Larry movies to see my point.

If her husband is working minimum wage and they are on SNAP, something doesn't smell right to me.

It sounds like he needs to stay home and take care of the kids while she works.

Must be more to that story, every professional license I've ever heard of just goes to an 'Inactive' status if you don't pony up annually, you may have to pay a penalty to bring it back later but I've never heard of them revoking one.  Of course maybe her state has some Stalinist rules to squeeze out every dime every year from every licensee...some place like, say, Blue State Hell Californistan.  Maybe she couldn't pay it because she actually got fired in some spectacular failure mode, and the 'Lost license' thing is just a face-saver.

Bullshit...when i was married still and we were a family of 5, our food budget was 450.00 and not a penny more and often I budgeted 20 or 30 less and saved it so I had extra $ during the holidays for all those nice little extras. These people have no concept that 'normal' families who pay for themselves can't budget much more and with the advent of forced healthcare is how they will budget less. Welcome to the real world dummies--I reckon many middle class families are going to have their grocery budgets slashed in half too by virtue of this forced monstrosity at the very least.

I urge everyone to keep getting out to vote whenever elections come up. Even if it's not a big election year, go out and vote. Don't be complacent. Get these greedy ****s out of office and replace them with humans who will fight to guarantee a living wage. Millions of Americans need this to happen.

This screed is basically a call for others to serve it and its family. For any lurking DUches, what I'm pissed about is that my tax bill is over a living wage. SO I alone am paying almost TWO living wage jobs and I get nothing for it. NOTHING. That's straight up slavery and I'm very much entitled (Because I pay for it) to bitch about it. To fight against the tyranny of the stupid and the lazy. You are not entitled to demand more from me and my family merely because you are here in the USA.

DUmmies don't really want a job or they would be all for sending illegal aliens back where they came from.

Illegal aliens, doing those jobs Americans refuse to do......because they don't have to if they always vote democrat.

Allow me to take a detour to point out the liberal luncacy of illegal aliens and unemployment...

The other day I tuned into 1150AM in LA to see who will be getting the ax once Rush and his fellow conservatives switch to that station next month.  randi rhodes was blathering on about how millions of unemployed people will lose their benefits in a few weeks unless the republican congress takes action.  Then she shifted gears and said how immigration reform will be so good for the economy because it will allow millions of illegals (my word, not hers) to come out of the shadows and get jobs where they can pay into the system, thus adding billions to the treasury in the form of taxes collected.  She didn't stop to think about or mention how these people "coming out of the shadows" were going to make it harder for those already unemployed to find employment.

You spend energy bitching and fussing about no one giving you things...if you took have that time to try to make yourself better you might actually find it happens.

God,these useless things piss me off,day in and day out gimme gimme gimme and then call everyone else mean because they don`t.
I would help anyone in the world that hit a hard spot but you ****ers I wouldn`t waste any piss on if you were on fire.
I hope you suffer miserably.

Didn't Jimmy Carter tell us we couldn't have everything we wanted as a country?  Turn down your thermostats, put on a sweater, and shut your lights off.

I wonder if she still has cable.  She obviously has internet service.

Allow me to take a detour to point out the liberal luncacy of illegal aliens and unemployment...

The other day I tuned into 1150AM in LA to see who will be getting the ax once Rush and his fellow conservatives switch to that station next month.  randi rhodes was blathering on about how millions of unemployed people will lose their benefits in a few weeks unless the republican congress takes action.  Then she shifted gears and said how immigration reform will be so good for the economy because it will allow millions of illegals (my word, not hers) to come out of the shadows and get jobs where they can pay into the system, thus adding billions to the treasury in the form of taxes collected.  She didn't stop to think about or mention how these people "coming out of the shadows" were going to make it harder for those already unemployed to find employment.

Don't you know amnesty creates jobs?

How come we don't see any of the primitives accusing the tree hugging primitive of not giving all of the facts, like we see in the obamacare lemming threads?

She's pretty wordy.  She tells a lot about herself.

She's complaining about hubby making minimum wage, but a year ago she said he was a manager at Walmart and she's had experience as a health aid.

Bullshit...when i was married still and we were a family of 5, our food budget was 450.00 and not a penny more and often I budgeted 20 or 30 less and saved it so I had extra $ during the holidays for all those nice little extras. These people have no concept that 'normal' families who pay for themselves can't budget much more and with the advent of forced healthcare is how they will budget less. Welcome to the real world dummies--I reckon many middle class families are going to have their grocery budgets slashed in half too by virtue of this forced monstrosity at the very least.

I don't believe any of these stories.  The husband picked up a third job making 60 dollars a week?

What exactly is he doing? Mowing/shoveling the next door neighbor's house?

60 dollars a week, even at minimum wage, means he's only working an extra 10-12 hrs a week.

Maybe his wife should get off the internet, turn off Ellen, and supplement their income.

You know what warms you up? Exercise.

Not only that you could be super green and get a human powered generator and feed electricity back into the grid. AND it is real good way to make money at home..sort of.

1. Lose weight and get out of the "Oh my GOD!!!! It's coming at me" size of clothes.
2. Warm up and save the earth while saving money on energy.
3. A penny saved is a penny earned.

This looks like a win, win, WIN for unemployed greedy mooching DUchebags.

The ones to the rear didn't look skinny either. So, where whites rule, or have ruled in recent history, black women at least get a lot to eat.....not so in black run countries, Sudan, Somalia, Zimbabwe, etc...and coming soon to America ain't it Obama.

You lazy ****ing slob with no sense of history. What do you think your ancestors did when it was cold? They spent most of the summer months growing and harvesting food andcutting firewood to keep warm--they didn't have a living wage and even if they did, they likely didn't depend on someone else to heat their homes.  No one should have to worry about this? WTF man? This is pathetic considering actually how LITTLE many of us have to worry about this compared to our ancestors or those in a 3rd world countries. All you have to do here is generate enough income to pay someone to provide electricity or gas to your home to heat it--you don't have to search for it, cut it, stack it, or keep the fire going if you don't want to. Damn no wonder these ****ers are never happy. They have zero perspective of the past to appreciate a damn thing they have today.

You think she'd at least have enough perspective to appreciate she has to worry about it so little that it affords her time to bitch about it on her internet connection that apparently takes priority over food and heat. 1st world problems I tell you. Unreal--this person doesn't understand just how rich she is in both finances and the time and country she lives in. Pathetic ingrate! Yes, dummy, I called you a pathetic ingrate because you are. Think about what you have over what you  haven't ---compare it to the poorest in the WORLD or even in this country--compare it to what your ancestors had to worry about 100 years ago and thank your lucky stars your worries are so few as to revolve around bitching on the internet.

Must be more to that story, every professional license I've ever heard of just goes to an 'Inactive' status if you don't pony up annually, you may have to pay a penalty to bring it back later but I've never heard of them revoking one.  Of course maybe her state has some Stalinist rules to squeeze out every dime every year from every licensee...some place like, say, Blue State Hell Californistan.  Maybe she couldn't pay it because she actually got fired in some spectacular failure mode, and the 'Lost license' thing is just a face-saver.

Well, sometimes you actually have to have a sponsor still too to hold a license. It isn't a matter of just fees, but usually the time alloted is generous. Let's say she was series 7 licenses perhaps, she has 2 years to get a new sponsor(normally a new job in that industry) or yes, you have to find some of those establishments out there willing to sponsor you to just hold your license and you pay the fee. Your clock starts ticking when your sponsor organization, usually your employer does not pay the next month after you resign because you have separated from service. Many people who stay home to raise children might let there's go knowing they can pass the test again at a later date with a new sponsor(in the previous case, many new employers since you have held the license previously will give you an agreed upon time--maybe 6 mos. to retake the exam and act as your sponsor to sit for it).

I'm with you though, she should be reapplying for that license and getting back to work if her husband is the lower wage earner. Financially it makes more sense.

Even this house which is a lot newer gets super cold when the temps drop like tonight. I usually let all the kids camp out in my room which is the warmest room in the house. My boys go camping style on the fllor with mountains of comforters and sleeping bags and my daughter bunks with me..the kids love it and everyone is toasty. When we lived in my marriage home with a big fireplace, when we would lose power in the winter we all piled in the family room and kept the fireplace going into the weee hours. people have been huddling together since the dawn of time when it gets too cold. You do what you need to to stay warm including conserve and heat only one room if you need be. The kids will survive for having to all sleep in the same room, even in their parent(s) room if need be to conserve heat and energy to keep it warm enough.

I know I'm not the only woman or man on this board who went through a divorce and became a single parent.  This happened to me at age 29 when my son was 3, and I worked part-time.  Yeah, I had to get a full-time job and had to keep the part-time job to make ends meet.  Getting food stamps or extra help never even crossed my mind.  Getting help to heat the home my son and I lived in (in Northern Indiana with long cold winters) was my responsibility.  Making sure my son had food and clothes and day care was my responsibility.

I understand people need help now and then, but it used to be something that you didn't advertise and shout from the rooftops that you couldn't take care of your own child/children.  By all means, it was to be used as a hand up, not a permanent handout. 

We are failing as a country, not because people go hungry, but because people aren't even ashamed anymore to be getting any sort of welfare.

Excellently posted!

My Mom ended up on welfare and her shame was evident.  She HATED it and worked as hard as a human could (it killed her early IMO) to get off.

Imagine having 7 kids (her mistake: letting my dad off the hook which would not have happened today) AND taking night classes in accounting AND eventually getting off of welfare.  Through her own efforts.

She always made it clear through her attitude: "this is temporary and it is killing me to do it."  Not in a bad way -- she was just doing what she had to do. 

The death of America started with the death of shame.

We are not a nation of decent and civilized people anymore. My mother was in the same boat but she did take food stamps for a very short period of time between jobs. She was very embarrassed to use them but there was nothing else. I have no problem with a safety net but the hammock that the DUches complain about gets me pretty steamed up. One It screws the people that really need it and it really screws everyone else that has to pay for the lazy, greedy ****s.

This goes to a question I put forth a few weeks ago.

What would piss off a DUchebag more?

1. Not being qualified to steal money from other people and lying to get it.

OR

2. Being qualified for a social program and not taking it.

I also like the idea of putting welfare recipients to work, earning their benefits on state-operated farms, forests, mines, and road crews. Take the taxpayers' money, swing the taxpayers' pick.

It costs a lot of money to maintain federal, state, county and local government facilities.  I don't see any problems with welfare recipients doing work for them while collecting benefits.  Even if it's only on a part time basis. Of course the unions would pitch a fit over it.

Well, our new SNAP amount is $265.00. I am shaking. We aren't making it with his three jobs (and, yes, I have been trying to find employment) and the $400+ was hard to do with our family of four - and I cook from scratch, use coupons, shop sales, etc. I knew it would be decreased because my husband had a new job. I just didn't think by this much. I am in a full panic at the moment.


Guess what you stinking leech, family of three here, and we don't spend that much ($265) on food a month. I'll bet you weigh 400 lbs. Go die in a fire............................... :bird:

Steals it from her neighbor.....sells EBT groceries....drives 18 miles to the library....hell, where there's a DUmmie wanting something there's a way to get it without working or having to pay for it.

Tree-Hugger (787 posts)

So, my food stamps got cut today
Assuming Tree-Hugger isn't a mole (a risky proposition), what's your guess on how many pounds she's overweight?

If healthcare will be rationed because you smoke, why not ration food stamps because you're overweight? It's plain to see they don't need so much food...right?

There's a hundred percent chance she's fat.  We're only the only country in the world, where the "poor" are obese.

I like that idea.

I also like the idea of putting welfare recipients to work, earning their benefits on state-operated farms, forests, mines, and road crews. Take the taxpayers' money, swing the taxpayers' pick. The only exceptions would be those certified as permanent totally disabled for physical conditions. Mental health and substance abuse disabilities would not qualify for exemption.

Jobs Americans won't do? I don't think so.

You'd have to define 'physical'. Severely autistic people suffer from neurological problems but most are physically abled, but their communication and other neurological deficiencies make it nearly impossible for them to work in many cases unless it's very rote and ritualistic and even then...the attention span may be problematic and the supervision required as well. Plus, there are some physically disabled who are quite capable of adjusting to work in more mentally challenging roles that the aforementioned can't.

That said,  a little irony today when I went for my son's annual assessment for Mental and Developmental Disabilities. He is transitional(teen to adult) and there was so much talk that in our state it is 'work first'. Now, I don't disagree. My son would thrive in a situation with the regular routine that work could provide him, but first they must find something with his communication issues which are severe that would fit for him, but I feel confident they will. I just think work and an adult outing situation will be the best fit for him. Now that said, while they are pushing those severely developmentally disabled to work, the irony was not lost on me that many on social security disability OR welfare are not pushed in the same direction. In fact what apparently is a positive for one apparently is an insult for the other. This thought really distracted me for the rest of the meeting lol. I felt like saying if work is appropriate and encouraged for my autistic son who was born with his issues,then why isn't it appropriate and encouraged for those disabled into adulthood or on welfare?  :-) :whistling:

Uh oh..now wait a minute here.

I almost shared our local station talking about heating bills and the 'poor'...you should have seen the bellyaching after several people asked if those who could not pay their heating bill had phones and internet. When one said well you don't know these people aren't posting at the library---several came in and said usually the library's computers are awfully empty for that many cable-less destitute people to there posting within minutes of each others AND another said, well at least the libraries are heated.  :rofl:

You get it.

Your son will get to experience the dignity and satisfaction of earning his own money. He will stand head and shoulders above the lazy bastards who put their hands in our pockets, and the DUmpmonkeys who enable them.

I paid $75 a month for cable internet with a basic TV package (It had nine channels.  It was like living in the 80s again.)  I cancelled the cable and switched to a 4G hotspot that was about half the price.

Some company's go out of their way to hire the Autistic.   Darn I have worked with quite a few in the last 20 years in a factory and they, everyone of them were good workers.  Placed on an assembly line for 8 hours doing the same thing over and over, they thrived better then the workers that became board after 10 minutes.  

 Matter of fact they became so good at their jobs they increased production, come time for a small lay off they were kept and the others let go.

Those that were shy and anti social after a few months, some came somewhat out of their shell, most likely because they felt familiar with us and we included them in the Lunch time and breaks.   If one were to sit alone in the caff. we would 2-3 of us go sit with them talk just to each other and smile at them from time to time to let them know they were part of the click.

Most I noticed did not want to be touched but if we were joking about and one of us touched another's shoulder  and reached over to touch theirs they came to except it.  In one case one young girl responded with a hug.     Amazing, but she was a part of our click and it may have surprised herself.

Males were hard to draw out, but surprisingly  the male Asians with their sense of playfulness did them a world of good. They were the first to pat them on the back for a job well done and encourage them to play pranks on the American workers.

These kids worked 8 hours a day and all the overtime they could get.    At $9.00 PH some were making $30,000 a year.    Being Americans most of us turned down much overtime to just sleep in on a weekend.  

Had we their work ethic we would have put ourselves in another tax bracket.  Lost money in the long run.

It is all a roll of the dice where one works, some other company may have harassed these kids, scared the crap out of them.  

 These autistic kids need a few old biddies to watch over them, help them in the adult world.   NOT enable their problem, just take them under their wing.

Actually, to be totally honest, none of those concepts really are understandable to him; he's a pretty severely autistic individual. Feelings are very abstract for an autistic individual.  For him it truly is this idea of going somewhere and staying busy and doing 'something'. Autistic people thrive on routine and the routine that work provides him or structured outings in addition are the primary reason for work in their situation. Now, the things is I have two normal children including a younger brother who I will be reminding if they get lazy that even their autistic brother can work everyday.  :whistling: :-)

you know for once, there is a lot of value in what you said here and I think you may actually have worked with autistic people with what you said. I can relate to some of the things you observed. I don't think you really can enable a problem though with autsies, but you can put them in a productive situation with supervision and have it be a wonderful thing because they both thrive on routine AND require so much less sleep then normal people that I can see just what you said about overtime. It does take the right company and people though. ONe of the sad things about their communication issues is that it opens autistic people up to abuse of all kidns because they can not communicate things that happen to them. I recall at one point there was a sick group of pervert homos online that in fact were targeting autistic males because they knew they could not tell.  :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: So that makes it a really huge responsibility to find the right situation with the right supervision.

I don't believe any of these stories.  The husband picked up a third job making 60 dollars a week?

What exactly is he doing? Mowing/shoveling the next door neighbor's house?

60 dollars a week, even at minimum wage, means he's only working an extra 10-12 hrs a week.

Maybe his wife should get off the internet, turn off Ellen, and supplement their income. 

I have no sympathy for this worthless, lazy sleaze.  When our kids were little, my husband and I worked different shifts to enable one of us being home with the kids.  This meant that I pulled the night shift for YEARS to work while the kids slept.  As the DUmmies would say, "It sucked.", but by GOD… we paid our bills and didn't expect others to supplement our income.

As another CC member stated, "FOAD" you worthless toad.

It goes without saying that vestanumbers's employer hires the handicapped.

Even if some of them get board.
