If a criminal gets free food in prison, and had food stamps growing up, does that mean we bought their....?

Question

... food pretty much ALL OF THEIR LIFE?

Answer 1

Yes! and all they do is create another generation of "couch potatoes"

Answer 2

Yes! and it sucks. while I pay around five hundred dollars a month to feed my family, some people on food stamps get four hundred dollars a week! when I think about what my tax dollars are being spent on I get so angry. What happened to survival of the fittest? I am quite certain that if you took away there means of living that they would find a job and survive. People are just like electricity they always choose the path of least resistance. If you make these funds available to people they will almost always use and abuse the system over and over again.

Answer 3

Yep, that's what it means.

This is why I favor the death penalty for anything that involves more than a 2 year prison sentence. Why should law abiding tax payers have to pay for somebody to sit in prison for 10 years? That money could have paid for an extra police officer or school teacher. How can the liberals argue with that?

Answer 4

I suppose so.
Many states used to have the prisoners work on farms attached to the prisons, but the bulk food producers complained that it was cutting into their profits. They got others to believe that the work was too hard on the prisoners as a smoke screen.

Answer 5

Obama did not develop eligibility. extra human beings were given undesirable because the republicans determined that the individuals on wall highway necessary a lot less oversight. all of us understand how that became out. Then they were given a flood of authorities funds. It makes nutrients stamps look like no longer something. yet why might want to the reality matther. you're indignant on the international and want someone to sense more acceptable to for you to quiet that nagging lack of self belief.

Answer 6

Yes. Not only their food, but their dental, RX's, eyeglasses and education just to name a few.

Answer 7

It's all paid for by the taxpayer so yes, we did buy their food all their life.

Answer 8

Pretty much. And you ain't had home cooking til you ate at Alcatraz baby!

Answer 9

yes. i suppose so. but i recently learned that ex-cons are actually billed for use of prison services. i don't know how much, but it is often included as restitution.

Answer 10

Yes!
