why is it that drug felony can't get food stamp when they get out but people who sexually abuse kids can?

Answer 1

because they want you to get off of drugs and grow up. We give you food stamps that means someone else can't get them. Then you swap 100 bucks worth of food stamps for a 20 dollar rock get high and your 6 kids still go hungry. meanwhile an elderly widow gets only 30 bucks worth a month so you and your 6 kids with 5 different daddies can watch you teach them how to turn a can into a pipe. If you know of someone who is sexually abusing their kids turn them in . They need to go to prison.

Answer 2

food stamps can be traded for drugs, if you know how - so providing food stamps to someone who's served a custodial sentence sounds like enticing tem into the same crime again.

But food stamps have nothing to do with sex crimes - people the Republicans may be self-centered, stupid & irritating. But there are other reasons things happen the way that they do !

Answer 3

because the system is broken. it has never worked. the welfare system's priorities are out of synch with what the people really need. i still support no assistance for felons and registered child offenders should be included as well.
