A year into Obama's second term food stamps peaked. Well I'll be damned. Must be Bush's fault.

Don't you know it!

This is probably the time to say I strongly encourage everybody to read this: https://www.hussmanfunds.com/wmc/wmc170807.htm

 

This was written on Sunday and repeats some of the same points I've made on Friday, but also alot of good new information from him.

In some ways, when I skimmed, it reminded me of Peter Schiff.

Very different than Schiff IMO. I don't really bother with Schiff anymore - ever since his constant insistence on hyperinflation over the last 8 years.

If you have 2 functional legs and arms, and at least a semi-functional brain, you should be disqualified from receiving federal aid.

 

Lazy isn't a disability.

 

And our tax money should be used to be necessities like bread, milk, and eggs.  Not frozen foods, fresh lobster, sugary drinks.  The other day, I was in BJ's Wholesale Club and people in front of me bought $300 worth of household items (including food, soda, snacks).  Then they swiped the white card and, like magic, almost $200 of the total disappeared.  The remaining balance they paid by credit card.

I don't listen to that part but his focus on fundamentals (gold fetish aside) to me remains far above that of central banks.

I'd often see people trade their food stamps / EBT to someone else in exchange for drugs, whether it be directly or buying the food themselves and exchanging for the drugs outside. No one hid it either. 

 

Stuff seriously needs to be scaled back at minimum due to abuse.

That's outrageous! You really should've taken advantage of that opportunity to explain to them the benefits of a healthy diet. As a fellow American, I believe you shirked your duties and let the country down. Bad on you man.
