Good first step. Now cut the massive number of Americans, including middle class Americans, who are on food stamps.
He’s working on weeding out American’s sponging off the welfare system that’s been screwed up for decades and decades and generation after generation. The local welfare secretary got fed up with clients hollering at her their kids didn’t have milk yet they brag to each other about getting their hair and nails done and new outfits to party on the weekend. And, of course tats. She crunched the number to prove they were getting more sitting on the couch than she was working 40/hrs week. She quit that afternoon.
My household is not on any sort of assistance but have always only spent 1/3 of what the government thinks it takes to feed a family. One third. We eat just fine so they should as well. It is no wonder they can sell their food stamps for 50 cents on the dollar or work a deal letting others use their EBT cards. They have plenty of time to cook at home without all the prepared junk. Junk food used to be excluded. Big woo the gov banned sodas recently.
Being on SNAP also gets them free phones, free internet, free event admittance, discounted utilities and some states have programs for double the food allowance. Now, why, should SNAP not deduct the 360 free breakfasts and lunches and sometimes free weekend food boxes for students? Why shouldn’t it deduct free summer lunches for ages 0-21? That seems like double and triple dipping. SNAP gets them into any food pantry including income limited ones and they can go to however many they wish. Then there are churches and other charities.
Check out the dozen or so charities specifically for Somalians in Minnesota. Same around the country for other groups. It’s all a grifter’s paradise.
