I can't speak for welfare, but from what I know Section 8 is only for 2 years, then you got to reapply and show hardship. Either way, without rent control in NYC for example a lot of people would be f*cked, you're gonna need some sort of welfare in an unequal society to keep everything stable.

[quote="blackzeus, post: 7175321, member: 2400"]Breh, think before posting. Food costs have already risen, Obama is trying to compensate for inflation. Food stamps have nothing to do with rising food costs. The idea is that if you have more money, then you don't need food stamps
[/quote]I was thinking, just approaching this from a different angle. Food stamps create positive economic movement at grocery stores, a huge cut in that can lead to higher prices at stores, due to a dip in profits. I'm lookin at it that way, because some people would still need the stamps, an extra dollar or two an hour isn't much.

Nah breh, where the f*ck did you learn economics, b?
Even street hustlers know the basic law of supply and demand. Food stamps are free, so the more you have, the more you buy. The more you buy, the prices start rising, because hey, the seller wants to see how much more you can afford before you stop buying. Cutting food stamps will lead to less demand, so prices will have to either go down, or the seller will go out of business, because all the cash buyers aren't willing to pay the inflated prices because it's not free for them.really, i didnt know about that. living in cali and ny gotta be rough
Breh, NY has the most billionaires in the world. Some random guy could buy your whole block out and build a house if he wanted to without rent control. In a capitalistic society, to not have a Ukraine type scenario, you need some sort of welfare for the lower class.

Food stamps don't last forever, unless you have children under xyz age. All of those food stamp customers stop buying everyone in the chain gets hurt. Prices will rise depending on the situation to compensate. Is that difficult to understand? Cutting food stamps wont lead to less demand. You'll see a rise in crime to support the necessity. So when you're place gets broken into or your mother gets stabbed for her iphone you don't have to ask G-d why. Seems like you need to work on your economic theory, friend. Or you need to read more than what your professor told you.
So to you, less buyers = higher prices?
Let's say wholesale cost of bread is $1, and every place sells it for $2. Let's say nobody buys for 1 month. What do you think is gonna happen, somebody's gonna raise the price to $3, or lower it to $1.50?

Do you actually believe a store is going to cut their prices because people who lost their food stamps are no longer buying?
They'll buy less of said bread and or replace is with a better bread because they've gentrified all the food stampers out. Maybe a sociology class will round you out.
Ok, now we're getting somewhere. Also, please note we were speaking strictly supply/demand, not food stamps. But let's continue with your train of thought. What is the bread distributor going to do when the retailer buys less bread?
