Thread: The strongest economy in the world

^ Illegal immigrants don't quality for food stamps. The children of illegals could qualify if they were born in America and therefore citizens. New immigrants are discouraged from getting SNAP. Whether it is true or not, they are told it will interfere with their green card approval and citizenship quest.

Retired people should be getting at least social security income. There is a minimum payment that, I would think, is too high to quality for SNAP. Maybe someone else knows.

As far as returning military, I don't know if they qualify or not.

Thanks for your ideas on this. Still think there is a lot that we don't realize about food stamps. I wonder how much this subsidizing affects prices.



I found another interesting piece about Madoff's views on the financial industry. All I hear out there just tells me that something is going to change in the US soon. It could come from the government or the people but the financial industry needs more regulation in order to survive its own doings and the eventual wrath of the American people. I was going to post this in world news but it would just get lost there. Since this is about economics and people interested in it are here, I'll just post a link and whoever is interested will check it out. There really should be a section on this site for world financial news. In the news section, the business news is listed as for Thailand.
