Half of kids will be on food stamps

CHICAGO (AP) – Nearly half of all U.S. children and 90 percent of black youngsters will be on food stamps at some point during childhood, and fallout from the current recession could push those numbers even higher, researchers say.

The estimate comes from an analysis of 30 years of national data, and it bolsters other recent evidence on the pervasiveness of youngsters at economic risk. It suggests that almost everyone knows a family who has received food stamps, or will in the future, said lead author Mark Rank, a sociologist at Washington University in St. Louis.

"Your neighbor may be using some of these programs but it’s not the kind of thing people want to talk about," Rank said.

The analysis was released Monday in the November issue of Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine. The authors say it’s a medical issue pediatricians need to be aware of because children on food stamps are at risk for malnutrition and other ills linked with poverty.

"This is a real danger sign that we as a society need to do a lot more to protect children," Rank said.

Hold on there, Rank. Aren’t we doing a lot already by feeding these kids? What more are we expected to do as taxpayers beyond providing their basic needs?

The real danger sign is that half of all parents can’t feed their own children, and rely on the government to provide for their families. I’m not getting into WHY these parents can’t feed their kids. The point is that they’re apparently just unable to. And they’ve been told that whatever happens, the nanny-state will be there to provide for their needs. It’s Hurricane Katrina times a thousand, just waiting to happen.

I’m not rich, and every month is a little tight, but I’m still among the minority of people who pay taxes. And every paycheck a chunk of my money is taken for the purpose of feeding some other poor schmuck’s kids without my having a say in it. It’s not charity, since I have no choice. Nobody ever has to ask me to contribute or donate, they just go to the government. Since it’s taken from me against my will, it’s theft.

I have bankers and politicians stealing from my ass in one direction, and half of the rest of the country stealing from my ass in the other. And yet we wonder why the “middle class” is shrinking?

Here’s the modern truth: there is no middle class. There are producers and looters. There are rich looters, and poor looters, and a few of us in the middle who they feed off of. And when the SHTF, these food-stamp parents are the people who are literally going to be trying to feed off of me. A bunch of dependent, brain-eating, zombie bastards.
