Liberal “thought”: “Spending lots of money isn’t working. Let’s spend even more money!”

Isn’t it true that Missouri has been voting in more and more libs over the past few years?
You don't have to be deprived to be considered "hungry." All you have to do is worry about it. This expanded definition came into play some years ago, and helps explain why the statistiocs don't match reality, if they ever did.
Follow some of these people in the check-out line and you will see that they are loading up on chips and pop. Baskets-full of junk. Ban 90% sugar items and snack foods from the cards and nobody will be hungry.
He'll tell you he's hungry ALL THE TIME.
You just have to give them all lots more money...and I will bet most will buy more soft drinks and HoHo’s.
George Orwell would have loved to see what we are seeing. Bureaucratic idiots citing extreme cold as a sign of global warming and these bureaucrats citing obesity as a sign of hunger.
I’m reminded of the guy that goes to the doctor with carrots in his nose and corn cobs in his ears. he says “doc, I don’t feel so good”...the doc says “well heck no, yer not eatin’ right”.
The poor have just as much access to “nutritious foods” but the left thinks that the poor is too stupid to find the produce section in the market unless we pay billions and the left shows the way.
He'll tell you he's hungry ALL THE TIME.
You will receive a visit from a Mr. Cleese from the Ministry of Post-pubescent Nutrition.
. . . the Ravenous Labradors will consume all of him but his bowler hat and his never-used umbrella.
“Food insecurity?” It sounds like there should be a 12 step program or counseling available for that. And fat people are NOT hungry, no matter how they try to spin that crap.
So, you are telling me with a straight face that one out of 23 Missourians qualify to be counted? To paraphrase Hillary: we have to suspend disbelief to accept this claim.
To compare, what percentage of Missourians are obese? Based on an informal survey at the local mall, I would say it is far more than 1/23. And what percent of Missourians who are “poor” are “at risk” because they are obese?
I recall a few years ago that we were scolded into worrying about the “homeless”, of whom we were lectured were in the “millions”. These numbers turned out to be so bogus the myth is still hard to correct even today. This is all just victimology and grant-seeking.
Expect as well a visit from the Ministry of Ravens and Odd Canadians.
The fattest poor people in the world live in America.
Ship these pigs to Ethiopia for a year and see if they don’t slim down.
Or, perish the thought, make them WORK for their freebies. I will not feel sympathy for the “poor” until there is not a scrap of trash on the ground or graffiti on a single wall.
Only nutritious food should be available on their too lazy to work cards. However, I saw stores in Corpus Christi that would sell anything for .50 cents on the dollar for food stamps including beer.
Scum will always find a way to get around the system even if their ten children are really hungry.
