I find no joy in seeing others go hungry. The 'spin' you speak of I'm assuming is the different opinions on how we as a country should deal with this.

But there is no inflation. I am sure the answer lies in confiscating the wealth of others right? How brave of you

Why aren't more liberals digging into their pockets to feed these people? How can you assholes justify this? Pointing your shit stained fingers at Conservatives isn't going to put food in their mouths.

I know. They sit there with their $6 Starbucks bemoaning the poor while they step over them saying "the government should do something"

What are you doing to help them other than demand the government confiscate other people's property?

Their not confisating people property.They our only asking those who get the most from The Governments monitary system to pay taxes on that service so that those who have very little have a little better life.Dont go crying about a few taxes when you have so much.I dont buy this poor rich people crap.

I don't buy the fact that you haven't adopted a vagrant. Clearly, the government isn't doing enough, so this is what needs to happen: Get a constant flow of support from your pocket into the mouths of the poor, and then we'll talk.

The abuses in Mississippi pale in comparison to those next door in Louisiana, where the state legislature just banned the use of electronic benefit cards to buy things like lingerie, jewelry, and tattoos.

Oh! The inhumanity of it all!

Louisiana welfare recipients will be prohibited from spending the federal assistance at lingerie shops, tattoo parlors, nail salons and jewelry stores, under new limits enacted by state social services officials.

The Department of Children and Family Services announced the emergency regulations late Thursday. They cover the Family Independence Temporary Assistance Program — commonly known as welfare benefits — and the Kinship Care Subsidy Program.

Both programs pay cash assistance to low-income families for items like food, clothing and housing.

DCFS Secretary Suzy Sonnier said the agency decided to ban the use of electronic benefit cards, which work as debit cards, at stores that don’t sell items that are considered basic needs for families. [...]

The emergency regulations come a week after WAFB-TV in Baton Rouge reported that an Ascension Parish lingerie store posted a sign noting that it accepted the welfare benefits card along with most credit cards.

Also barred in the latest restrictions from taking welfare debit cards are video arcades, bail bond companies, cruise ships, psychics, adult-entertainment businesses, nightclubs, bars and any businesses where minors are not allowed.

The state is taking violations of the new regulation seriously, and wants to go further with actual legislation to fine businesses who improperly accept these benefits as payment:

Violators of the new regulations will stop receiving welfare benefits for a year for a first offense, two years for a second offense and permanently for a third offense, according to the social services department.

The department also said it is seeking to enact the restrictions in law and allow the state to fine retailers who don’t follow the guidelines. Rep. Chris Broadwater, R-Hammond, will sponsor the bill for consideration in the current legislative session.

“I hope that we can meet the spirit of intent of the program while also ensuring that state and federal tax dollars are being used appropriately,” Broadwater said in a statement.

That means somebody else has to do it for you, right?
