If your kid gets 3 meals a day “free” at school, your food stamps should be reduced drastically.
If you get food stamps for your kids, their baby daddies get food stamps for them, and your mom and sisters all get food stamps for them, then there needs to be a cross-check to discontinue the duplication.
If you are under 60 or 65 and able-bodied, you should be limited to a certain number of months or quarters for receiving food stamps.
If you receive farm subsidies from the government, you should not be eligible for food stamps.
You should NEVER be able to get “cash back” on food stamp purchases.
The only beverage items eligible for food stamps should be (and I am being generous here) coffee grounds, tea bags, milk, and juices (in economy size cans, not $4 single-serve bottles).
No meats or sea food items that are priced above a threshold, say $8/lb, should be eligible for purchase with food stamps.
If you are under 60 or 65 and able-bodied, you should have to meet a truck at 8:00AM Monday thru Friday to go out and clean roads, parks and high litter areas BEFORE you get food stamps OR welfare checks...PERIOD...
“You should NEVER be able to get “cash back” on food stamp purchases”
No such thing as cash back on SNAP purchases within the system.
You are being far too generous with my money.
Powdered milk, powdered eggs, bread, and spam.
Don’t like to eat that stuff? Get a friggin’ job!
I’m for cutting out that free lunch program in schools-if a parent is getting food stamps, they can damned well pack their kid a healthy lunch-meat/cheese sandwich, fresh fruit, some raw veggies. I have never asked for or gotten a single food stamp, welfare payment or other taxpayer funded benefit, even when I was a single mom with a baby juggling college and work-and I’m very proud of it.
Since I’ve been widowed, I’m technically one of the working poor-and like most everyone out here, I intend to work as an independent contractor/small business owner for the rest of my life-retirement is not an attractive idea at all...
If I can pick myself up after being smacked down economically-more than once-so can everyone else-I’m fresh out of sympathy for anyone not totally disabled-no more f’in welfare for snowflakes...
What?!? No more lobster and filet mignon? Jes dang!
I'd cut that in half.
