Current military now eligible for food stamps

With the cost of food these days, folks need all the extra help they can get and no shame in taking it.
Especially if you are one of the working class or such that is feeling the pinch hard.
 
So the C- kid in high school with little ambition is going to collect food stamps at his first low entrance level job? Uhhh ok


Honestly the low E ranks should not be making good money, it’s a legit zero skill job that anyone who’s not retarded or a 300lb land yacht can get….and we pay for it out of our checks

Seeing their housing and everything is provided, IMO they are waaaay over paid and compensated as it is for what they bring to the table

Poor babies!

Shit compare that to what their buddy with the same qualifications lives in while working fast food or wallyworld

How about this, just don’t provide stateside housing, go find a place and pay rent like everyone else?


Or just lay 80% of them off, I really don’t have a use for them, they don’t keep me safe, they don’t even stop unarmed Mexicans from pouring over, just suck onto the taxpayers like a leach

Life choices right?
 
Just like this free market stuff everyone is preaching for reloading components then. Can’t bitch if someone else is willing to do/pay what you won’t/can’t

Yes

There is a house I saw on the market, really liked it, out of my current budget, I’m mentally kinda odd, my brain when to how I could make more money, not to cry to the gov like a petulant child for a handout taken from my neighbor at the muzzle of a gun
 
If you are a single income household of two adults and have a bunch of young children, you have to be making quite a lot to not be able to get at least WIC food benefits and a lot of folks probably qualify for some food stamps as well but just don't know it.

Government food benefits helped subsidize the cost of food for some of my brothers and sisters when they were young.

Military = big socialism.

go get a side hustle like any other working schmuck
 
Food pantries are hurting as well.. cash donations aren't going as far, and donations are down for same reason.
Illegals are at least twice as likely to need welfare (66% of foreign born citizens on welfare vs 33% of US born) are probably putting additional strain on resources.
Fucked up all around.
 
3/10 MTN was working the border mission until they were pulled off. So, your statement is a bit off. Just saying
 
As previously said, nothing new. As a kid, My wife's Army family was on food stamps while growing up.

Hard to do when you are in the field for weeks at a time or deployed for months or over a year, or work 18 hour days. But you wouldn't know that would you?
I don’t agree with much of the man that you quoted has to say, but in this case he isn’t wrong. Military is socialism with all the brainwashing through propaganda that comes with it. It’s why many go in as naive young men and come out full blown statists that can never adapt to life off the gov’t tit.

It's nice that you can order food online with that EBT card, saves a trip to the store.


Edit - that link is to Walmart online snap ordering

Never adapt to life off the government tit? Hhhhhmmmm, Bowerman couldn't adapt to life off the government tit or Mr. A.G. Russell, Walton, Taylor, Parson, Smith, Kinder, they all didn't find their way among the other thousands that have civilian jobs? What a travesty:rolleyes::rolleyes: :unsure:

Do you always talk out of your fourth point of contact or just on the internet?
 
If I could qualify for food stamps I could free up some funds for gun stuff… Oh well. The kids like ramen noodles…

It is really funny just how much people in this country do not actually know about the US Military. Just like all of the other libtards in the US people talk shit about stuff they do not understand, comprehend, or know anything about.

This is why the country is falling apart. Assclowns taking shit about stuff they know absolutely nothing about, and think they do.

I literally laughed so hard I had tears coming out of my eyes at the stupidity displayed in this thread by idiots who have obviously never served.
Served what? A corrupt an evil gov’t to enrich bankers, politicians, and oligarchs while spreading the woke agenda around the world. No thanks. You guys need to think a bit and understand the part you play. I don’t like that this is how it is, but it is how it is.

I did say many and not all now didn’t I? Words can be a bitch sometimes.

Either way the mil is a socialistic institution. Men sign away their personal sovereignty to the state, get everything provided to them with funds derived from the theft of the private sector working class, and get gov’t funded healthcare like in communist countries to boot. Socialism.

The private sector men like myself fund it all. Gov’t only takes from us and gov employees pay no taxes, the same as welfare rats. We have more right to speak of the military than any gov’t man including those currently serving and obeying the illegal orders of an unconstitutional commander and chief.

I'm sure I would love to engage you in that particular argument Wade, but it's been done before here, and I won't change your mind, you won't change mine.

Besides, I get to go shooting for the first time in months since I've been working so many hours at my private sector job, so I'll just get back to my reloading if it's all the same to you.

Now if you'd like to discuss the merits of how much jump I should put on the loads I am working up for my new 33xc barrel, we can talk.

Fair enough. Just remember I don’t say what I say out of hate. The men that comprise “uncle sam” hates the military serviceman or they wouldn’t send them off to die in unnecessary wars while destroying their homeland while they are away. I say what I say because I care about these naive and mostly well meaning young men that don’t know any better and the people that should be watching out for then have succumbed to gov’t propaganda.
 
I still don’t understand that logic? Because taxes fund the .gov paychecks, which are in turn taxed means that the .gov folks pay no taxes?
My goodness. Its common sense and takes the smallest amount of critical thinking and reasoning to comprehend. The gov’t does not create money. The private sector does. You grabbing a handful out of the bucket filled by the labor of the private sector man and tossing a few dollars back in is not adding to the revenue collected by the theft of private citizens. It is no different than taxes being held out of a welfare recipients “paycheck”. It means nothing. If you can’t get that then I don’t know what to say.

BS! Govt employees pay taxes.
Bullshit they don’t. Statists understand nothing. Where do you think your paycheck is derived? Gov’t and the salaries of statists can only exist through theft of the labor of the non government working man.

But they do.

You’re horribly misinformed. Now, the fact that all government salaries (including the military of course) are derived from taxes (or deficit spending, which is worse IMHO) is true, but all government employees, including the military pay taxes too…. Some exemptions while in combat zones, but even that’s capped.

I like your passion, and intent, but as I’ve pointed out before, your message is lost with the sheer amount of inaccurate information you throw in, and the unhelpful vitriol with which you deliver that message.

You clearly don’t believe it, but we’re on the same side here… know your audience.
 
Never used food stamps, but we did get WIC when our daughters were real little...it was embarrassing.
Yeah no shit right. Back when I was growing up they used to be coupons......now it's a debit card....I felt bad for my mom. We were in them while she put herself through college. One months she got almost 400 dollars too many from the bank.....well she returned them and the lady at the window asked " well why are you returning them"......gotta love society.

Agreed for the socialism part. Me a combat medic makes same as TIG/TIS paper pusher with same time.

I’m not incorrect here by any stretch. Fill a bucket half full of water. No matter how many cups you dip from the bucket and pour back in, it will never fill. Water must come from outside the bucket to fill it. I hope this simple analogy helps you understand what many of you can’t seem to.

A capitalist gov’t does not produce any product that consumers can purchase. It performs no service that customers are willing to seek out. A gov’t man’s paycheck is a net negative on the economy. A gov’t man can not pay for himself in any way. He is a drain on the economy in every sense of the meaning regardless if you feel it’s a necessary evil.

For the record, I do not think you are my opposition although if you make a living serving this police state then I cannot trust you. I say things I do out of honesty. I’m the friend that would rather tell you that you look stupid than to let you go out in public thinking otherwise. The gov’t many of you work for do nothing but deceive you and depending on your job, puts you and your family in harms way for “their” benefit. You should be furious. What aren’t you?

Funny, I remember paying taxes while serving. So I guess I was self employed.......
