    I can't find one place in God's (YHWH) Word, the Holy Bible, where God (YHWH) commands government to provide direct aid to the poor; however, I can find many instances where God (YHWH) commands His People (the Church) to care for the poor (e.g. widows and orphans).  There are some caveats to this support.  The Church is to provide for those widows who are beyond marrying age and for orphans until they reach the age of majority.  The Bible is very clear in that "If you don't work, you don't eat."

    The system our Government has set up is riddled with fraud, waste and abuse, and is nothing more than a vote buying scheme.  The 88 means tested welfare programs are also what has caused the United States to be $33 Trillion in debt.  It is past time to end all of these programs and for the Church, which abdicated its responsibilities in the 1930s to repent and do and God (YHWH) has commanded and take back responsibility for taking care of the poor and needy.

    Food Stamps are to supplement an individual's contribution to their diet... It was not to be the sole source for their food.  There are other government and private sources for this woman to access. However, they primarily issue in-kind food items, prepared meals, and commodities. She is probably abusing her food stamps,  to purchase services other than food.

    The Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP food stamps) is a USDA program that provides food to needy individuals. In addition, there are many private and government food programs... food banks, meals on Wheels, soup kitchens, family and friends (God forbid family should intervene)

    Below are listed a few more government and private sources of food... America is not suffering from a food shortage or access to food.  If any food shortages exist it is in found in middle-class families... they no longer have the disposable income to eat as well as the poor...

    1.  WIC program (Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children)...  another food supplement program for needy pregnant and nursing mothers.

    2. School feeding programs... During the school year, needy children can get free or reduced-priced meals at school through the following programs:

    • The National School Lunch Program
    • The School Breakfast Program
    • The Special Milk Program, which provides milk for students in schools that do not participate in a federal school meal program

    School meals and food programs for children | USAGov      www.usa.gov/school-meals

     

    3.  The Older Americans Act (OAA) Nutrition Program, specifically Title III-C, administers the Meals on Wheels program. This federal initiative supports older adults through nutrition services. State and local aging agencies, along with nonprofit community-base...1. Meals on Wheels provides two main services


    In addition to government programs, many private food banks are available and provide billions of dollars in food assistance for those seeking the aid.  This woman appears healthy, well groomed, and dressed... she probably drives a relatively new car and is gaming the welfare system for every dime she can.

    who forced her to open up her legs and get in strangers beds

      Today, some women game the system for support... welfare is a multibillion-dollar franchise on the souls of those gaming it for a living.  The Democrats 'Great Society' and 'War on Poverty' have neither reduced poverty nor given us a great society.  socialism is a failure.  The Democrats use welfare to purchase the support of the poor who depend on it for a living.

    We need to define the requirements and justify who can get food stamps.  Just because you are a single mother should not justify me, a taxpayer, giving you any money for food.  Where is the daddy of the child??? If the father is dead, that is a different story altogether.  Food stamps are just buying votes and have been for Democrats for decades now.  I find it amusing that when I was growing up in the rural area of central Ohio, there was no such thing as food stamps.  There were twelve kids in our family.  Yes, we were hungry on occasion, but we all survived.  I truly believe we are stronger for it as we depended on no one for our food, heat, or utility bills.  If we did not have the money, we did without.  Young people today do not know how to do without.  They believe the taxpayers owe them food stamps, child care, WIC, child support, transportation, free school, clothing, you name it.  We are 35 trillion in debt.  When will it stop? Until we make the living daddies pay for their kids, or put on a chain gang to work for a wage that we can give to the mother, it will never end. It is time to get tough.
