Texas and Illinois are two of the biggest Welfare and food stamp states in the country. I’ve personally known people that have moved here (Illinois) from as far away as Maine and Nevada just to get on Welfare. There’s also the Illinois-Texas shuffle, where people use up benefits in Illinois and move to Texas, and vice-versa, every year or two as needed. So, needless to say, I was surprised by the following story.
A woman with children was denied food stamps in Texas. The outcome was a horrible tragedy, but please note she moved to Texas from Ohio (to get Texas entitlements). Somehow, she got screwed out of ‘em, and turned violent. Is this a sign of things to come? Entitlement recipients are, some day, going to be told “no” by the nanny state when they run out of money. If someone is willing to get violent for food stamps, what is going to happen when they don’t get direct-deposit cash, free housing and cell phones, free healthcare and meds. People have become violent while waiting for disability benefits, or have threatened to do so. Considering there are more than 46,000,000,000 people on food stamps, and 45,000,000,000 on Welfare, we might have a problem on our hands.

45 and 46 billion?! Might want to drop a few zeros there.
46 million on welfare is quite enough, thank you.
Well now , obamie strikes again!
entitlements breed dependency. That ain't good folks!
Disability and programs like welfare & food stamps are two totally different entities-not related at all.
Social Security"Disability" in this country is a joke too.You pay into SS all your working life only to be told you have to wait a YEAR or more to get a decision when you have a real illness that could kill you eventually,meanwhile your bills are piling up,but someone who NEVER worked and paid in can get SSDI and usually get approved for something totally preventable like alcoholism related diseases.I know of people who DIED waiting for Social Security to approve their disability but a man out West was in the news recently for getting disability because he has an "adult baby" sexual fetish and he wears diapers and drinks from bottles.Our tax dollars hard at work,America.
Also wanted to mention,a lot of people come here from just over the line in Virginia because Maryland welfare benefits are more generous.Some even double dip both states.
