no surprise here but listen last week Fox News ran a one-hour special on the

Food Stamp situation is par that

John Roberts track down a surfer in California who is eating on the

taxpayers dime

the food stamp program was designed to be for a point in your life

where you were beer down things were going well

it's not quote a point in your life its gonna this is life for me

yeah this is

tower then cute chicks do anything

you know this is the way round do you really see anything changing

I got a paycheck coming in Psych of i joining us now from los angeles

Fox News Editor at Large Peter Boyer who also appeared in that food stamps report

so it's a headline for you on the story hey bill at I mean I guess in a way the

headline is

because I you just showed Jason Jason the surfer dude I mean if you have a

a federal program that has grown to be this huge it has grown

so rapidly that it cost

three billion dollars a year

just to administer I mean just to hand out food stamps a guy like Jason the

surfer dude

lawyer is almost inevitable consequence

when you have a this kinda

a situation where President Obama has knocked out

a by executive order a lot of the work rules attached to food stamps and other

entitlements

you know basically anybody can get on if they

know how to game the system in this guide is no way this guy should be get

government assistance at all he goes out in service all day

chases the women at night plays guitar doesn't care

where we support nice guy I tell you bill I talked to Jason today

and on he had a message for you which i'll convey to you why

get back to you are not going very well so everybody not tell everybody feels

this is message to me

he said he said listen and live in the rat life 5 you tell mister O'Reilly

although he didn't saying that you tell or I'll if there's a problem with that

he can

kiss my you know you're OK you know he's leaving Iraq life I agree with that he's

a rat

are yours as well point here's where you but your premises partly wrong in this

regard is not gaming

the system I mean as far as Jason's concerned and in fact

as far as the system is concerned he's not gaming

much value yeaa me I wasn't Peter let me can I tell you wise gaming at I took one

look at this guy and he's making money off the books

now I'm not going to make any accusation on national television about how is

making money

but this guy's just not say you know surviving on food stamps

I did making money not that you're at life you know entails a lot of different

things

and he's not declaring that money is put his pocket whatever he might be legal

might be a legal we don't know

okay yes but this is this guy is a parasite and my

contention is that the Obama administration is encouraging parasites

to come out

and you know take as much as they can with no remorse

and this is how a country declines that's the classic Fox trick

take the one person on food stands who is such a tremendous douchebag

and yes is committing fraud

and say well he's a you know the face of the program he represents the entire

program

know we doesn't he's

obviously an extreme case he's not the rule you the exception to the rule

when they seen the implication is well see how he is I mean I guess we are

never ever send program to see what happens

wrong wrong wrong let me give you some numbers

and we went over this yesterday over forty percent of people on food stamps

are hard working people they have a job they have a job

but they don't make enough money to eat and pay direct

I mean we have an entire class of people in the US

working poor working poor

so a lot of work a full time job but they all live

above the poverty line that's not a problem with them it's not a personal

problem

that's a systemic problem that's a problem with that

established system in the way works that's a problem with the economic

system

well we want to know toward a full time job more great jobs

that's unreasonable thats unrealistic now

the other people who are getting food stamps

but I don't work they're looking for jobs

you're looking for jobs but there are more people than job openings in the

United States on the math just simply doesn't work out

and the remaining people who take food stamps and don't work

they are over 60 and under-18

toroto who would you like to kick off a senior citizens are the miners

yeah I think one if you are capable of its gonna be all people

or the young people and let me ask you this question

seventy-five percent of the American people are living

paycheck to paycheck and this is what you focus on

in your expose the one asshole who is

leaching of the system why not do a story on

are a few dollars the actual fraud rate in food stamps

1 percent wanna do a story on the other

ninety-nine percent of people that need the food stamps are barely getting by

and are doing their best in life but the fallen on hard times

that expose doesn't happen on Fox just wanted to do spec

welcome the average person on food stamps makes about nine thousand dollars

a year

if you take away their program the either starve or become homeless

which one you want bill or do you actually want them to be home wasn't a

star

they're trying to make it seem like being in poverty

is somehow an ideal situation they're showing this guy is like

relax and hang out with girls playing his guitar

again they found no one percent of people who

take advantage in the program and they disregard the overwhelming majority

they wanna throw the baby out with the bath water and go back to a time

like we had during the depression where there was no suicidal safety net

and all you have is there are rich and the rest of us fighting for the crimes

that is Fox's ideal system
