johnny maga @_johnnymaga High calorie family in Los Angeles says they’re “afraid” now that SNAP is running out of money.
“We didn’t ask for these kids… and what are we going to do?”
Everything wrong with the American welfare system summed up.
“Alternatively, we could control the borders.”
We need to limit government funded employment to 20 years so politicians have a smaller incentive to buy votes.
That can be pretty much accomplished via federal income taxation.
Perhaps in exchange for saying capping SNAP benefits at $2/day/person, paid in daily so there is no monthly feast & famished cycle, the PPACA might have the original subsidy formula Obamacare the first six months of 2026, then Chuck’s subsidy formula the last six months of 2026.
Then phase Chuck’s formula out one month per subsequent year.
December 2032 would be the last month for Chuck’s formula. By then, most PPACA recipients would have received some care and would see a need to pay a little something for health care cost coverage.
Within a few months of capping SNAP, the demand and federal spending for insulin and Ozempic would drop sharply.
Note for $28 (the weekly $2/day amount for two people), one can buy:
two pounds of chicken for ~$5,
four pounds of pasta for ~$4,
seven cans of vegetables for ~$5,
a gallon of milk for ~$3,
two loaves of bread for ~$3, and
a box of cereal (or a bag of fruit) for ~$3,
and still have ~$5 left over for say buying
a 10-pound bag of potatoes one week, or
a bag of sugar and 100 tea bags another week, or
a pound of butter and two boxes of store brand macaroni & cheese another week, or
12 eggs and two boxes of cake mix yet another week.
Oh my...those poor souls are gonna starve...NOT! When I see a story like this,it makes me wonder what in the heck the reporter was thinking?? Did they think it was a great idea to put a family of hippos on video complaining about going hungry and they don’t get to eat every day?? Talk about out of touch and crazy virtue signaling!
It’s only 275 a month
It helps but still
One person on serious budget who cooks could live on it
Not sure max for households
from DuckDuckGo AI:
“Binge eating disorder (BED)...can lead to significant health issues, including:
Obesity and related conditions (e.g., type 2 diabetes, heart disease)
Mental health problems (e.g., depression, anxiety)
Poor quality of life and social functioning”
Do those symptoms sound and look familiar?
Paying SNAP benefits in monthly lumps is unhealthy. Spread the payments over the month, say at a rate of $2/day/person.
“People are afraid to come out of their houses to work.”
…ah… yup!
“Moo.”
So they sit home and watch “Da View” who are experts at scarring the piss out of them and keeping them in doors while they sit on the couch eating bon bons.
“It’s only 275 a month”
To eat as my family did in my youth would cost about half that amount per person.
My mom was a great cook and as a child of immigrants she didn’t scrimp when it came to food.
If you have those kind of condiments, you ain't starvin, but that salt vault half gone says it all contrasted next to fatty.
Newsmax host Rob Finnerty:
"It’s far worse than anyone realized.
In addition to high numbers of legal immigrants collecting food stamps (45% for Afghanis, 42% of Somalis) 59% of illegal immigrants are on federal food stamps.
NY Post reports:
“NYC welfare food is shipped in barrels to the Dominican Republic — then sold on the black market.”
Note: I have posted about this before but it was quite a while ago.
Disclaimer: When I use the word “chilluns” I am not being racist. All these people we’re talking about are incestuous white hillbillies, you racist loser, you!
* * *
Now that we’ve got that cleared up: Something about welfare people who have lots of kids: Having worked in various public-funded charities (”You’re getting welfare money for working!” my right-wing friends used to quip) where welfare mommies bring their dozens of chilluns for (free) medical care, one gets to read their medical charts. I’m never curious about some welfare gal’s medical history, but sometimes you have to read it so you just buckle down and do it.
Many coworkers in these tax-funded charities were Catholics, who would always bestow lots of support and praise for these “brave” mommies who didn’t opt for abortion, and rather had ten kids (with a handful of different dads).
Hey, that’s all right. I would rather a gal not abort those ten fetuses, and if she has to resort to charity to feed them, I’m all right with that too.
But then you have a look at the lady’s medical chart, and - I DO DECLARE! 😲 She has ten kids and she’s had five abortions and her last pregnancy resulted in abortion. She goes into the welfare place and gets support and people congratulate her for not having an abortion, even if she is poor and can’t afford to raise her children. (And even if they have read her medical chart; see below.)
One thing these chicks like to do (I was late to this knowledge, having never watched daytime TV!) is, when they find they’re pregnant (again) they go to the several guys they “slept” with and hit each of them up for money. A little squabble may erupt with demands for a paternity test and so on. The thing is, the real dad is likely to be a guy who already has him a wife and chilluns and he doesn’t want to have to go in for a paternity test, so he may cough up some money, rather than find out if the kid is really his or not.
If Welfare Mom can make some extra cash on the side by blackmailing the potential Baby Daddies she will delightedly carry the pregnancy to term and THEN claim more benefits for the new baby.
If she can’t extort money from people with the pregnancy, she will - usually without a second thought - run to Planned Parenthood to have the unfortunate child killed.
So really, these are not what you would call “poor people.” They get rich off gaming the system, people praise them for being “good mommies” and trying their best to take care of all those chilluns - and it’s not their fault when the kids become thugs employed by organized crime! they tried, oh Lord how they TRIED to raise them babies right!
I do see the compassion that they expect out all this drama starting to dissipate like mist before the morning sun, which in this metaphor is a large white male with flowing orange locks, who has thirty sons all riding on asses, and a hundred concubines attending to his every whim.
THANK YOU DEMOCRATS! You really screwed yourselves over this time.

hopefully this might stop the obesity epidemic among US poor!
They can feed it to her in a trough out back.
.If you can’t afford to eat, don’t breed them as I as a taxpayer don’t want to be your kids dad. I find it hard to say but it’s the truth.
What irks me is that the items she showed in the video are pricey, and all pre-made packaged food items. I did not see a bad of potatoes, or fresh fruits, or much of anything that does not come out of the freezer. This is truly messed up. this is not what the food stamp program was meant to be. Where are the fathers of all these kids? why aren’t they contributing to the mom?
