Further into danger

I am seriously not kidding when I say some of my writing has the potential to put me in danger. Displaying the tactics of those in power is a dangerous affair. 

I changed and expanded my writing about food stamps. Welfare is not mentioned but that would apply to the same issue by default, as the same principles still apply. I made it slightly easier to read. I try to keep things simple to reach the people it really needs to reach. However, I know I sometimes fail. I have to keep things step by step. 

So, here is how I have it posted now:

Are food stamps good or bad for the economy?

I know what you're going to say, bad. Incorrect.

Lots of people claim they create dependency and poor work ethic. Yet most people on food stamps already work but do not get paid enough to support their families.

Food stamps are good for the economy on numerous levels.

First, they create government jobs.

Then, the money from food stamps (and welfare) go back into the economy.

That money is spent in local grocery stores. This creates jobs.

What would happen if you decreased or stopped food stamps?

Grocery stores would decrease revenue. This could result in thousands of grocery stores closing. Many thousands of jobs lost. Managers, cashiers, stock people, maintenance workers. Gone.

Remaining stores would decrease both choices and amount of stock.

Decreased stores and stock means fewer truck drivers needed to deliver that stock. At least hundreds more jobs lost.

Decreased processing and packaging needed would mean hundreds more jobs gone.

Less need for imports would mean thousands more dock workers jobs lost.

Less consumption means farmers would have crops rotting in the fields. Because it would cost more to harvest crops than to sell them. Farm and field workers, thousands more jobs lost. Small farmers would largely cease to exist. Same with dairy farmers, chicken farmers and ranchers.

Meanwhile, cost of processing and shipping would remain constant while waste would increase. Cost of groceries would skyrocket.

A higher percentage of income being spent on groceries means less disposable income for other goods and services.

New car sales basically cease. More jobs lost.

Home improvements and repairs are deferred or forgotten. Thousands more jobs lost.

Less money spent on other goods and services means less profit for other businesses. This would result in more businesses closing, many thousands more jobs lost.

Decreased profits in nearly all areas would mean investments falter, stock market crashes.

People currently on the edge of poverty would be pushed over the edge. Foreclosures increase drastically. Savings and loans crash, property values plummet. Millions of mortgage holders under water. Homeless rate goes through the roof.

The two areas which see increased sales in such conditions are alcohol and illegal drug sales. Non-violent and violent crime rate increases rapidly.

So, who would benefit from eliminating food stamps? The ultra rich. Same people who oppose raising the minimum wage and in favor of eliminating it. Starving people will accept any work at any wage. Starving people are easy to control. It is used as a form of torture and brainwashing. There is not one person in our entire society outside of that group who would benefit at any level.

How are food stamps looking now?
