Newark Mayor Cory Booker preparing to live a week on food stamps

[Mister D]

I'd gladly take that challenge to prove a point.

"[Let's] you and I try to live on food stamps in New Jersey (high cost of living) and feed a family for a week or month," the mayor wrote. "U game?"
The user, "TwitWit," replied, "Sure, Mayor, I'm game."
"Great. Let's do this," Booker wrote. "I hope you live in New Jersey. Let's film it and see how we do."
Booker added that they would have to get a referee.

Do liberals actually think that people who get food stamps cannot get anything to eat except with food stamps. I know people on food stamps. Some eat often at shelters, some visit food banks, some have income from working under the table, and the food stamps are a nice freebie. There are a lot of food stamps recipients who turn around and sell them to get booze or drugs but they don't starve. Amazing, isn't it?

If Mayor Booker were a bit honest, that is not a Democrat, he would use food stamps supplemented by money he's stolen. Then, like these other liberals, he can use his food stamps to buy buttered rabbit and other gourmet food items.

What kind of a joke is the Booker, anyway? What is to be proved by living on food stamps for a week? Perhaps he should live on them until he leaves office.
