Probably a rise in shoplifting.



Initially, sure.

But then some prices would fall due to lack of sales.

Some individuals would find work and earn some money to buy items as well.

It would be a painful period of time, but maybe a short period of time.

An Instructors first concern is student safety.

Food stamps are available to employed people who make little enough. Also, if you're working fewer than 20 hours per week (including if you're a full-time student), you have to both look for work (or better work), and perform volunteer work for an agency that records it, to complete at least 20 hours a week of work.

There are more recipients of food stamps who are working than who are receiving "classic" welfare (i.e. TANF, Temporary Aid to Needy Families). Many are retired on very small incomes, and of course now a decent number of people are on unemployment.

They're not all lowlife losers.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

The food stamp program is a federal program but it is administered by state and local agencies, it is not part of the Department of Agriculture and it never has been.

Also, the National Park Service is under the Department of the Interior, not the Department of Agriculture.

In other words your post is bullshit.

:S

Onward and Upward!

Of course you are aware of it.

the only difference is you agree with him and his posts
In those cases sources are unimportant

If you disagree with other posters you get all indignant like you did here

Need examples? Just search my search my sources please questions to him

those question that he does not reply to........

Sorry, not buying' it.

Show me where he's quoted and only left cryptic initials. That's the issue here and my only question about the original post. Everything else you've assumed is irrelevant.

Of course you are not buying it
Gives you an out

But the rules vary here I know

I have seen time outs given for the "get a life" comment

But life is not fair
I get that

But my asking billvon for sources is not in question
