Yes, the US could use some of Singapore’s ideas on acting like civilized human beings. There have been shootings daily recently. So many across the country that the Chicago numbers have gone to the wayside. Protesting that the sun rose this morning will be next. Enough with the protests. Why should ordinary citizens need to check where the protests will be in their city so they can take an alternate route to get their kids to school. Not that schools are any safer.
We both need to boot the illegals and lock down the borders. And stop the money flow. Illegals should never have received a dime of US taxpayer dollars. $3500 EBT, luxury hotels with maid service, cell phones, health care, education, etc.
The money also needs to be cut on SNAP. The maximum monthly SNAP benefit for a four-person household in Texas is $939. Remember the $939 SNAP is 70% (70/30 split) of the $1350/mo the government thinks it takes to feed a family of 4. That is 3 TIMES MORE than this household’s food budget, which we usually stay under, so thanks to us not living off steak and lobster so others can, grrrr. Duh, of course, they can sell their “food stamps” for 50 cents on the dollar since the beginning. With homemade breads and yogurt, yesterday’s breakfast was yogurt and oranges, lunch was egg salad sandwiches and dinner bbq chicken buns so nothing exciting but decent enough and stayed well below $3.75/day/person budget. If we can do it without batting an eye, certainly an EBT family can.
The maximum monthly income for a 4-person household to be eligible for SNAP in Texas is $4,125. Excuse me?!? We’ve never seen a monthly income of anywhere close to that much but are doing just fine. I cobbled together the Inauguration Congressional Luncheon with what we had at the house (no steaks or truffles and substituted fresh crabcakes with imitation crab) for $3/plate including dessert and had enough leftovers to make a $0 veggie soup the next day. Can’t imagine the cost we taxpayers forked over for that meal so no wonder they hand out $$$ willy nilly. I would love to make the menu for Congress’ dining halls for a week.
There are no food stamps in Singapore. Able bodied persons must work.
