You mean slashing budgets and yelling at people hasn't created jobs?

Yeah, and I'm one of them. Didn't have much of a choice.
When I became disabled, I needed all the help I could get.

The odd part was when my SS/Disability came in, they told me I made too much money for food stamps and brought me down to $12 a month.

I make about $900 a month in Disability. That's apparently too much for food stamps..

That's because Chris Christie ate all of their food

Everything bad? Blame the president.

Everything good? Lawdy those Republican Congressmen done us good!

vpb:
That's outrageous. A family of four in NJ is probably rich enough to have a refrigerator.

I bet that have a TV too! Those freeloading moochers!

How many helicopter rides is that?

RexTalionis: RexTalionis: The state increased the income requirements from 130 percent above the federal poverty level to 185 percent in last year, meaning a family of four with an annual income of $41,364 is now eligible. The state has also streamlined the application process and launched a public awareness campaign over the past couple of years.

Oh, and:

In the last twelve months, New Jersey has let go of over 26,000 state and local government workers. The Garden State is one of many states letting public sector employees go to balance their recession-battered budgets. The outspoken governor Chris Christie has drawn national attention for, as he bragged on television once, leading the nation in public sector layoffs by percentage. - Source: CUNYontheEconomy

Clearly Obama's fault.

More like Mope and Mange, right guys?

This is the kind of change we need Christie to bring to the national level!

Actually you can get that change in the mail sir...Or directly deposited on your EBT card!

It's the hope you have to wait in line for

When was the last time Christie saw his own dick?

The pilot was out of smokes and would have had to flown to the Wawa anyway.

This is just a reality. During the housing boom, property taxes were through the roof, and state governments expanded along with the increased revenue. Now that that revenue is gone, states need to make realistic decreases in payrolls to balance their budgets.

OMG really, he's fat? Where is Ric Romero?

The Gov has sent the NJ national guard on an exploratory mission to try to find it.

So they made it easier to get on food stamps during a huge downturn, and the numbers have gone up. Ok.

Christie isn't in congress....

Casualties have been unexpectedly high.

I've heard from reliable sources that it's the Liberals that are causing unemployment and expanding socialism.

There are half a dozen dead Sherpas wedged in Christies butt crack from all the other missions that have tried and failed.

Howard Kurtz is the most reliable source EVER. So reliable, he has a show called Reliable Sources. John King is of dubious reliability though,

Gulper Eel: The state has also streamlined the application process eliminated meaningful fraud-prevention

FTFthe writer, who seems to be surprisingly naive as to the traditions of New Jersey state government.

More in your Romeroesque lead graf of the day:

With more than half the applications for federal emergency food assistance coming from Burlington County households that did not sustain damage in Hurricane Irene, county officials are concerned the food-stamp relief program is rife with fraud.

That's just the Irene-related fraud, but if you think that kind of a thing is an isolated incident...in New Jersey...I have some lovely pine barrens to sell you.

I wonder how many people would claim benefits if the government provided actual nutritious food to the hungry/poor, instead of an easily-gameable food-stamp program.

WORD (new window)

RexTalionis: /Dennis Miller Mode off

Does that mean i don't get my 15 bucks ?

Ya know that last joke of mine was worth a complimentary official Fark whoopee cushion.

I'm willing to settle for the fake dog shiat however

But then I was: NOOOO!! DAMN YOU, CHRISTIE! If we can't slip more of our operatives into government positions, then how can we bring forth our vast, leftist, socialist Xanadu?! Luckily we're getting more folks on the dole though, so we can suck that teat nice and hard. And that Christie sure has big ol' teats.

Is there any food left in New Jersey after Chris Christie has dinner?

Uh... that's completely wrong. You're in NJ? That would put you at 100% of the poverty level; you would absolutely be eligible.... unless you had other assets (car, house, etc) that may have disqualified you.

Seems like more people are getting the help they need.

Chris Christie, more progressive then Obama....quick we need some fat jokes!!!

Looks like they based the income off qualifications of Christie's yearly food bill.

A staggering 99% of Americans now live in poverty. In other news, the poverty threshold has been increased to $2,000,000 a year

Budget changes for the state of New Jersey, fiscal year 2013:

Dept. of State: - 4% for lay offs of additional personnel, especially union workers
Dept. of Motor Vehicles = + 2.4% to consolidate the two of the five windows open during peak hours, to just one open window Dept. of Noms - +35% for 13 extra deep fried turkeys, and an additional 1.4 tonnes to the yearly stipend of bacon, to be palletized and flown to the governor's mansion by the NJ Air National Guard

Indeed. If anyone in your extended family can afford the refrigerator at some point in their lives, past present or future, then obviously nobody needs government assistance and Obama is a kenyan muzzim.
