**Cancel SNAP and let churches and families take care of the needy. My guess is that dead people wouldn’t be collecting benefits**
They would appreciate it more. Under SNAP they don’t have to say thank you.
As for voting the red states may be starting to do just that by cleaning up the voting rolls. Blue states won’t cooperate but Trump can withhold funding in other areas.
Charity used to be something for which people were ashamed and embarrassed to receive.
It is financed by government thugs stealing money from hardworking American families. What else could it be than a four letter word? 42 million SNAPPERS is a lot and most of them are huge, obese eating machines.
4 letter acronym D.O.G.E. looking into 5 letter words WASTE-FRAUD-ABUSE.
As for voting, I’d be happy enough if there were a nationwide law requiring ID to vote.
Oh, and restrict mail-in voting to those who really need it. To folks who cannot leave home for medical reasons, for example.
I know I’m dreaming here. Democrats like voting just the way it is - wide open to fraud. And Republicans are too meek to do anything about it.

Obama expanded SNAP eligibility to the point where middle class people can be on SNAP. It was his devious plot to get the middle class hooked on government benefits. Republicans never cut it back. Now we have a corrupt program that is adding to the deficit and Republicans are scared to cut it back to the truly needy. Not only should people have to reapply. Eligibility should be cut back to the disabled and elderly. The poor who are on it should be eligible on a temporary basis if they are not disabled or elderly.
Years ago, we stopped issuing Food Stamps and started issuing SNAP cards. Arguments were made that Food Stamps stigmatized those using them because it was obvious that the recipients were on welfare. SNAP cards looked like credit cards so it was less obvious. Also, SNAP cards would not decrease the self-esteem of those using them.
Lets go back to Food Stamps. Welfare should be stigmatized.
The best way to increase self-esteem is to be self-sufficient.
SNAP recipients should have to REAPPLY EVERY MONTH for benefits.
Food stamps were sold to the public as a temporary “helping hand” but have become a way of life for millions of recipients. The programn is now a total joke.
SNAP Fraud: A $50,000 EBT Card, One Person Getting Benefits from 6 Different States – This Is What Taxpayers Are Funding
Over 500,000 people were found to have been taking SNAP benefits twice, with 5,000 dead people receiving it.

Let the audits begin.
Periodic audits are generally a good thing. Everyone should have to “justify” their eligibility for government programs.
Most of us want to get rid of the waste, fraud, and abuse in the SNAP program, but I don’t think we can stop SNAP cards/payments altogether until everyone reapplies because there’s just too many people who are in real need. Making everyone reapply over a 6-month period might work.
A friend of mine recieves the benefit, he’s legally blind.
