I work at a soup kitchen several times a month in the city.  I have never seen an emaciated, staring person.  

Well, using just your small sample and estimating just HALF of those people to be on food stamps...

...then it seems the food stamps ARE one of the things keeping people from starving.

Take away the food stamps, and then get back to us.

You also ignore the issue of mal- and under-nutrition, while your elitist crack of "making poor food choices" is the same as "let them eat cake".

Food stamps are not needed, period.  

I know you all want to "feel good" by supporting feeding the starving children, but it is emotion, not fact, in this country.  We are swimming in food to the point where OBESITY is the problem effecting the poor, not hunger, and we turn half of the feed stock into FUEL.

Food is cheaper and more plentiful here than anywhere.  The problem you claim doesn't exist.  People are not starving.

Get your logic straight and get back to me.

Doing extensive searches on "hunger in the US" and "starvation in the US".  All hunger data points to EBT and SNAP programs and the growing numbers.  All starvation data points to none.

Virtually no starvation deaths.  If someone can find any different info, I would love ot read/see it.

Maybe I`m not searching in the right place but it sure seems like starvation in the US is an ideologicall myth (yet another) on the Left. 

You have it right.  

There are people starving in the world, but it isn't here.

The real problem is that liberals can't admit to the success of private farms and American ingenuity which have brought us to a point where people in this country do not starve.

Instead, they need to create the dependency on government, then claim to solve a problem that does not exist.

Thanks.

Still can`t find one death from starvation in the US..............not ONE!

Starvation is simply what would happen if people like Paul Ryan got their way, and a budget was passed that eventually left for domestic spending a smaller dollar amount than it now costs to run the FBI.....   

Because then the entire food-provision arm of the safety net would have to shut down. And no, don't give me that charity nonsense. That it is nonsense is why these programs started in the first place.

Nonetheless, I'm willing to bet that some of the homeless are pretty close to starvation but likely die of disease first - the ones too mentally ill to seek help, etc.

However, how much "hunger" do you think should be tolerable? If a single mom's kid eats one decent meal a day? Two?

As someone who has also worked quite hard, I simply do not see that in the richest country on Earth, we should be saying "eh, as long as they aren't dying in the streets, it's enough".

I'd be all behind stronger enforcement to cut down on abuse of the programs. But I want the programs there.

Humans have a nasty habit of putting too little stock in circumstance when they have worked hard and gotten ahead.

No hunger should be tolerable.  None!  That`s why I give a ton to charity and certainly do my part to support these programs.  We have to have these programs but, we have to stop the abuse.  We also should be striving to reduce the numbers on SNAP and EBT by growing and creating jobs.  Less dependency is a good thing. 

I`m not so sure some of the 47% think this way.

Food stamps are not needed ..... and your opinion doesn't count , period .

You have a history of saying some of the most dumbest things that I have ever seen in print but this one takes the CRUMBS ...... not cake .... but CRUMBS .

Now go back to your Soup Kitchen !

Duh. Of course not. You kinda proved that EBT/food stamps work.

As usual, my stalker has not read the thread and is, yet again, displaying his/her lack of understanding and comprehension. 

I`ll wait while you go look for the countless Americans that have died from starvation recently, during the last 30 years, and of course, before the Obama administration saw this dramatic increase to 48 million.

Good luck with your reasearch.

Maybe we should start making things in this country again. Maybe there should be higher tarrifs on imported goods. Maybe business shouldn't be allowed to hire undocumented workers.Maybe CEOs should be held more accountable and not offshore production because it makes their bottom line look better.

Absolutely agree!    Let`s start with Jeff Immelt from GE.  One of America`s wealthiest companies, Immelt made $29 million last year and GE paid ZERO U.S Taxes. 

Oh......and BTW, he`s Obama`s Job Czar!

Double duh. I never said anyone has starved. I simply pointed out that government intervention has made sure this hasn't happened.

Sure! We can start with him, but let's not finish with him. I gotta say, I've new respect for you! I thought you were one of those people who thought the rich had gotten there because of "hard work and being job creators" and that taxing large corporations stifled expansion. But now? I respect you to a certain extent!

Triple duh!  Prove that!  Prove that "intervention" you speak of is anything but a scam and that countless Americans were/are dying from lack of food.

Save yourself some time................you can`t.

skeeter you pay 60 dollars a week on food ............ no wonder you visit a soup kitchen sereval times of month ...... you are eating there for FREE !

Haha.

no. I eat mostly fresh food, no red meat. No processed food at all, I.e. frozen pizzas, etc.

you can eat well on sixty dollars.

i do eat at the soup kitchen, but only after everyone else has been served.  Sometimes, there is nothing left.
