Starting in October, average benefits for food stamps β€” officially known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP β€” will rise more than 25 percent above pre-pandemic levels.

Those of us who don't get food stamps won't be getting any 25% raises in salary, and Biden's inflation is driving food prices up for us.

If it’s any consolation, the Democrats already have a plan in place for the inevitable: blame racism.

Great, more welfare for the layabout crowd. Just what we need.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said that with the change, the U.S. β€œwill do a better job of providing healthy food for low-income families.”

Unadulterated BS.

I’ve lived (unfortunately) in welfare towns and seen what people buy with their free government money aka EBT/food stamp cards and eating healthy is NOT on their radar.

Not even close.

So have I, and I remember when they were paper “food coupons” that could be “exchanged” for money or other “items” on the black market.

The “news” media is as bad with that “former” with respect to Trump as they are with the supremacist capitalization of “Black”.
