Gingrich's "Uncomfortable Facts" about Food Stamps Hold Water

I propose cuts to SNAP for white users based on body fat composition. Why should the gov't subsidise the morbidly obese. Cut em off and use savings to put those heavy-set recipients on low calorie low-fat diets. The Blacks are a proven protected group who scream racism, so you really can't touch their entitlements. What is the cost of diabetes related medicaid costs that we already pay for the welfare millions we have fattened up off the public teet? It must be an incredible sum.

The failure of the economy is worldwide - International banks failed to keep money ciculating through the markets. Business and community banks were deregulated and started trading in securites and commodities markets. Taking big risks with cheap 401K money. Handing out huge mortgages that could never be paid back and reselling them as good investment securities to anyone who would buy them ; giving guarantees that could never be honored. They knew what they were doing. The big question is why? Those in control grabbed all that they could and still have it. Some were big lossers too. Depends on wether their piece of the puzzle was big enough to cause a total collapse. I notice the very same powerful people are still in charge. Why? President Reagan started the dereulation binge and has continued even till today ! (lobbying ever ending lobbying) The average guy in the street doesn't understand high finance so who's gonna stop them. Answer is simple -The western economy is collapsing - capitalism is failing us. Gevernments (populas) are going to turn on the Banks and take away their power. Socialism is looming in our future- not great but better than starving us all to death. The Banks are now dictating to countries all over the world that they must work their people harder and longer to pay back loans to people who never worked a day in their life. While the banks print money more and more to restructure impossible loan agreements disabling the economy. Now massive school loans that are mortgage size loans extending well into 20yrs + will cripple the economy for decades. Banks are enslaving the world with debt. Adolf Hitler had the same problem untill he told all the worlds banks to go to hell - and put all the angry suffering people back to work. Rebuilt the economy of Germany in record time once he got rid of the blood suckers. Of course he helped it to self destruct just as fast by threatening world wide genocide and war. He was on the right track but derailed himself with fictional occultism. Seriuos lack of education and pure logic without a moral compass. Uuum just like banks and huge corporations. Only a simple goal Growth & Profit amoral at best. To hell the well being of the people - let the next guy worry about it I got mine mentality. The problem may be do to the son's and daughters of the superrich who forgot what happened in the past. So history replays itself. The monoply game maybe coming to an end I hope not a bloody one. Time is running out on Humpy Dumpty

Before we pass judgement on obama we have to recognize who put us in the economic downfall in the first place. I personally believe regan is ultimately responsible for current economic issues but I'm sure people will hate me for saying so.

I can't believe someone is calling soldiers lazy if they can't find work. What a creep you are. Why don't some of your coward selves do all the fighting and dying!
