[table][tr][td]Percent of recipients who are white[/td][td]38.8 %[/td][/tr][tr][td]Percent of recipients who are black[/td][td]39.8 %[/td][/tr][/table]
so, in theory the bigger problem is not what these Caribbeans are doing - but the system itself!

who cares.. let em do it. groceries = food .. let everyone eat. there shouldn't be a single hungry soul in this world. More people should pick up on this, the more the merrier.

well if they are starving themselves to feed their relatives in 3rd world countries I have no problems with that However if they are making enough money to be off food stamps and are still receiving food stamps and sending it to 3rd world recipients then shame on them.
I agree. People in America don't realize how easy they have it.

My x's brother had a business that specialized in this, shipping drums back and forth from NYC to Miami and Jamaica. I'll see if I can find the card. And as far as I have seen, W.I.C IS restrictive on what types of foods can buy with it. Have you never been behind one of them in line and the cashier is telling them they got the wrong kind of cheese, because they have to buy the blocks and not sliced, or the wrong type of milk, cereal, etc. They can't use it on pre-prepared food either, or things like cups and plates. Even with the food stamp card, you just swype it and the register deducts all the eligible items and then you get a remaining balance price on the stuff that didn't qualify.

I think the argument is that the food aint free - it's at the cost of taxpayers dollars ...who cares.. let em do it. groceries = food .. let everyone eat. there shouldn't be a single hungry soul in this world. More people should pick up on this, the more the merrier.
I do agree, we can probably give aid to vast majority of the world (in regards to food), but we rather destroy the crops at the governments request ... true!

The thing is many of these supposedly hungry countries could feed themselves if the food they were growing was primarily directed to their local markets. Instead, most of their land is used to grow export crops, which are traded on the international market and are subject to pricing structures outside of the producers' control. As a result, they make a whole lot of cocoa/sugar cane/cotton, and very little of everything else, which means that:
- the food consumed locally is usually imported
- such countries are extremely vulnerable to anything that increases the price/availability of food, hence the frequent hunger crises.

You're right, lets just print money and make it appear out of no where as if there aren't any consequences of this. I wish ben bernanke had thought of this idea before

Banks and the rich get bailouts, tax exemptions.
Poor people get Welfare, housing, insurance, foodstamps.
