While we’re fixing the food stamps, how about raising the maximum income for a family of three from $1809 a month to at least $2,000? Earn $1808, take out rent and utilities, and most families max out their food stamps. Earn a buck more and you get nothing.
Gosh, I never realized how punished I was for working hard to feed myself.
I better think this over.
Am I being abused? I just may be. /s
Ah the mind of a Leftist...
“”The President reportedly plans to make draconian changes in a key SNAP (food stamp) rule, cutting off basic food assistance for hundreds of thousands of the nation’s poorest and most destitute people,”
GOOD. Dont make me pay for your laziness and your sorry ass sob stories on why you’re poor.
I could count more than 100 times in my life I see these assholes driving BMW’s and using their EBT cards at 7-11.
This week I ran into a Jewish man I know who’s parents got him out of the USSR when he was in his late teens. (Late 50’s) They sent him to Israel and he eventually ended up here.
I was telling him how my Grandfather went through the Russian Revolution, they were dirt poor, but the Bolsheviks still took everything they had.
He said to me “These kind of people will punish anybody who they think have the potential of being independent or productive.”
He nailed the current Democrat party and most of the Repubs.
also limit what businesses can take food stamps. currently you can shop at seven eleven and Mini mart . I would force businesses to bid with there pricing in the store on goods to be able to except food stamps with only the most cost effective stores being allowed to except food stamps. I would also push for picture id on the food stamp card so it is difficult to sell the cards nd then use them
Whaddasupprise.
The problem with these efforts to reform welfare is that they usually exempt those with dependent children from the work requirements and those are responsible for 98% of the welfare abuse. Going after the few who don’t have kids and making them work is good but in reality it won’t save much money because the big money is going to unwed mothers with several kids and they’re usually put off limits because nobody wants to risk the wrath of the news media’s blitz on starving kids.
If we’re going to make a dent in the enormous state we’re going to have to stop making it profitable for single women to have children. I live in Mississippi and see it daily, teenagers who have no desire for any career other than to start having children and collecting benefits. It’s a way of life for a good portion of the population. We have to stop making that more attractive than working for a living.
And all democrats are mad - they want more people to not work and to be dependent on your and my money.
IF the members of Congress would have the GUTS to actually go to these ‘food banks’ & see the people that are coming there, they might get a clue.
New cars-—jewelry—manicures—styled hair-—really nice clothes.
MANY people are not destitute & in NEED of the food. All that is happening is that the FEDS are freeing up their other money so they can buy more drugs.
I live in rural Nevada. I know there are people spending the gas & time to go to 3 or more different food banks to get FREE STUFF. One of those food banks is even in another county.

One lady went to every food bank she could find for years-—and he husband was making over $1000 a week driving truck.
