Thank you for referencing that article amorphous. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.
The states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for a program like SNAP. So this is another example of corrupt senators failing to protect the states as the Founding States had established the Senate to do.
In this case senators hurt their states by wrongly helping the likewise corrupt House to pass unconstitutional appropriations bills, bills which not only steal 10th Amendment-protected state powers, but which also steal state revenues uniquely assoctiated with those powers, these bills helping to provide funds for SNAP.
The ill-conceived 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and corrupt senators who help the corrupt House to pass unconstitutional appropriations bills along with it.
Everything done these days is to make the general population more and more dependent upon our government overseers. It’s only be a matter of time now before they close that last gate.
