83% of all food stamp benefits go to households with children, the elderly, or the disabled. The fraud rate of the SNAP program is just 1%. And there are strict limits on how long the unemployed can receive benefits.

Fox's airing of some California surfer is obviously a disingenuous attempt to portray all food stamp recipients as lazy bums, especially when the phrase "the new face of food stamps" is used. There's absolutely nothing representative about that guy.

Krazen logic: Anecdotes are always representative of the norm, especially if it involves food stamp programs or voter fraud.

I wonder why Walter Jones voted against the cuts.  I'm glad he did, but he's one of the most libertarian members of the House, IIRC.

Nothing anecdotal at all. The Clinton requirements have been waived in favor of extended parasitic leeching.

Wrong again.
