Reply #86: What about law-abiding citizens who are turned down for food stamps for lack of funding?

What consideration do THEIR children deserve?

Are we supposed to let criminals run free just because they have kids?

Are we suppose to keep kids in the homes of felons?

Plenty of people in prison went there when they already had children. There are mechanisms in place for dealing with that. Children shouldn't be used as shields to allow people to hide from their responsibilities. If anything I would think children need to be protected from felons.

I see no reason to let criminals take money from more deserving recipients of already scarce funding resources.
