Dem Congressman: We Need Food Stamps Because So Many Fathers Are In Jail

Democrat Georgia Rep. David Scott said that food stamps are necessary because of America’s “policy” of imprisoning families.

“Our policy of sending so many of our young eligible fathers to prison. Millions,” Scott said. “Our prison population went from 300,000 in 1975 to over two million today.

These are providers who are not there. This is why we have so many single female head of households. I mean, so when you look at everything we have done, we’ve got to correct some of these things first.”

Ok sir. Start by cleaning up your own neighborhood.

It's the other way around!

There's too much welfare and food stamps - it's kinda like the zoo and the park - don't feed the animals - they become dependent and stop fending for themselves!

Well, you need to get off the drugs for starters. Quit using the N word in your rap music that constantly threatens anyone outside of your culture. Then vote Republican because they are the supporters of business and allowing their policies to flourish will ensure there is enough economic growth to offer jobs to these guys so they won't have to deal drugs.

How about that point of view?

Same story going on for decades. Democrats need welfare or they won't have anyone that vote for them. Ironically a Republican started welfare to help families get ahead not be on the dole for generations.

This is so funny, it speaks volumes as to who is incarcerated the most, those doing the crime! Exactly as the FBI stats say, a certain race is responsible for almost 80% of all our nations crime. The truth hurts!

Sperm providers without question.

Any other traditional family support via nurture, positive role modeling, finance? Not so much.

Unfortunately.

If there weren't so many mouths to feed, perhaps feeding them would be easier. How can it be everyone else's fault except for the ones actually responsible?

Lesson: Never give an idiot a microphone, not to mention ELECT him to public office!
No doubt he is a product of redistricting to "better serve" the minority plight against repression and racism.

We all know that if you let all the baby daddy's out of prison they would gladly support the kids they brought into the world. It will never happen, and the baby mommas will never turn in the baby daddy's

According to 2013 data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which administers the program, 40.2 percent of SNAP recipients are white, 25.7 percent are black, 10.3 percent are Hispanic, 2.1 percent are Asian and 1.2 percent are Native American he wasn't just speaking for blacks. Republicans watch too much Fox news.

Once again a Democrat provides misinformation these are the real stats.

Source? You can argue SNAP stats with the dept. Of agriculture. Fact is both races are on welfare but blacks are demonized. Why?

Anonymous said...

Regardless of the stats, both whites and blacks use food stamps more than any other ethnic group. And, we know who abuse the system the most. White people.

I would be interested in seeing these stats as 'pre 2008' numbers. I'm willing to bet there's a BIG difference between the leading two categories.

Huge difference prior to 1960s, blacks not allowed to apply. Stats are just stats. It shouldn't matter. We are talking about women & children. Are we so greedy that we pamper the rich and kick the craps out of woman & children. Have you ever looked at an application? We talking 250-260 bucks a month for food. We spent 90 billion last year on corporate welfare and the companies were profitable. This discussion is silly. White against blacks arguing over who gets more than the other. If the woman need help , give her help. Cut aid to all foreign countries 1st.
