Republican Presidential Candidate and former Third Most Powerful Person in the Free World, New Gingrich said this about food stamps:
“…And we now give it away as cash — you don’t get food stamps. You get a credit card, and the credit card can be used for anything. We have people who take their food stamp money and use it to go to Hawaii. … You know, the Obama model: isn’t there somebody you’d like to give money to this week. That’s why we’re now going to help bailout Italy because we haven’t bailed out enough people this week, the president thought let’s write another check. After all, we have so much extra money.”
What an idiot. Anyway he lies. Find out the truth here.
Where does he get his information from? How would one even do this? They cannot get that much money on a Food Aid card. It’s a shame that someone will think that this is actual truth. This really burns me up. EBT cards were around before President Obama took office, how does this get pinned on him? :::scratches head:::
Wish I’d known this before- I can’t even buy toilet paper with my food stamps. What dimension is he living in? I wanna go there.
SWEET! A Hawaiian vacation! I’d only have to give up food….
See, your problem is that you’re still hung up on truth mattering. Once you can tell yourself that jumping is falling upward and not laugh hysterically/have your brain break it will all make sense.
At first, I thought this was as bad as Michele Bachmann claiming Gardasil cause retardation based on what some voter who came to a rally told her, but then I realized it’s considerably worse. newt presumably knows this is false and is demonizing poor people.
This is why lol

Newt’s greatest hits, 1990’s Welfare Queen has been digital remastered and released as Hawaiian Food Stamp Getaway. Good thing he isn’t against the 1% because that would be class warfare.
