Food Stamp Recipients In Baltimore Just Got Some VERY Bad News Republican Del. Patrick McDonough of Maryland stirred up some serious controversy after suggesting that parents of Baltimore thugs involved in riots should temporarily lose their food stamps. McDonough made the statement on a live radio program, after taking a call from a listener who introduced the idea of limiting welfare. Thats an idea and that could be legislation, McDonough agreed with the caller. I think if you could make the case that there is a failure to do proper parenting and allowing this stuff to happen, is there an opportunity for a month to take away your food stamps? McDonough concluded that the measure seems a little bit harsh but did not oppose it all together. He also called for a study of the thug nation, the group of people who are violent and brutal with a mindset that is dysfunctional to the point of being dangerous. What do you think of McDonoughs comments? Should the parents of todays violent youth be punished?
