If it’s good enough for Obama it’s good enough for them.

10 pounds of rice - 5 dollars
10 pounds of beans 5 dollars
12 pounds of chicken 15 dollars

40 meals for 25 dollars. Nutritious, filling and inexpensive. Dinner for 4 at McDonalds 25 dollars.

EBT cards should only be used for certain foodstuffs. Sorry, you want steak and lobster get a job.

A 40# bag of dog food costs more than a 40# bag of pinto beans at Costco, which can be had for under $20.

Rush bought his mom a can-opener for her dog food.

Dog and cat food has bone particles in it and is unsafe for human consumption. We spend how many hundreds of billions every year on just food stamps?

I fixed the situation,

What exactly did you do to "fix the situation?"

Did you take them down to a local food bank, and show them ways to supplement their pantry? Did you show them how to sign up for public assistance? Did you take them to find a job? Did you buy them lunch or groceries with money from your own pocket?

There are many ways to fix the situation -- I can't believe with as many public assistance programs their are, public and private, that anyone should be starving in America.

Some of the doggie treats are really good, and they build strong teeth.

I like the Chicken that tastes like bacon.

If they choose to eat dog food, it’s their choice. Beans and rice are a perfectly good protein source. Ask anyone whose mother grew up during the Great Depression.

Dog and cat food is not cheap. It’s more expensive per pound than human food.

I could order off of McDonald’s dollar menu and eat for cheaper than dog food costs. I call BS on this.

Didn't the last time a CongressCritter pulled this stunt, a satirizing Rush Limbaugh say he'll buy his own mother a new can opener?

And, IIRC, didn't one of the idiots from CO, then 'critter Patsy Schroeder took to the House Floor to denounce Limbaugh, completely oblivious to the point of the satire?

Leftists never worry about telling their lies in public because the media never call them on it.

There is no reason anyone should be eating dog food if their food stamps run out. First of all, even if they are getting food stamps, they can clip coupons. Secondly, there are food pantries where they can supplement their food supply. Some use up all their food stamps at the beginning of the month, rather than stretch them out for the entire month. Maybe they should be given bi-weekly, rather than on a monthly basis. How can they buy dog food if they can’t buy food? That doesn’t make sense to me.

"Rush bought his mom a can-opener for her dog food."

Manual or electric?

With the popup tabs on cans, the can opener soon will be a thing of the past. Sad.
