Evil democrats are just keeping the government shut down to destroy Trump’s presidency. It’s not about starving children, health care or anything else. Democrats are trying to crash the economy just like they did during covid. They want discord, violence and chaos as long as Trump is in office. Nuke them!

Republicucks could just end the filibuster (or even better make the Dems stand up and keep talking like a real filibuster)

Many SNAP recipients are morbidly obese and would be a lot healthier wit a few months of restricted benefits.

It's time to end the Obama Era pause of work requirements and life time limits on welfare.

They need to replace snap cards with boxes of food . No more getting to choose junk food and soda (or selling the cards for cash)

It’s been suggested the snap benefits be replaced by cases of MRE’s.

If it’s good enough for our troops, it’s more than good enough for welfare recipients.

SNAP has become not just a way of life for 50 million Americans, it has become an integral part of our economy with huge retailers like Walmart relying on SNAP for much of it's revenues

Heck , even McDonalds, Jack in the Box and Circle K are very dependent upon revenues from SNAP benefits.

One out of every eight Americans receive SNAP benefits.

Re instituting work requirements and life time limits on SNAP and welfare are vital ending this cycle of dependence.

There is no surer sign of a neighborhoods impending doom and decline than the sudden appearance of SNAP/ EBT Cards accepted signs appearing in the windows of stores and restaurants

I’m sure someone must have run the numbers , I wonder how much we could be saving using this method

[escapefromboston]

Walmart relies on SNAP to subsidize their employees too.

[rdcbn1]

Yup - and not just Walmart.

SNAP has become the self licking ice cream cone of corporate America.

The Party of Death and their Dipstick Court skanks and their pimps helped the communist lefties steal the 2024 election. All the BS we’ve be hearing since January has been wiped away by King Skyhook Hakeen and AOC’s’ Pineapple Squawd. We didn’t “win” ****.

The SNAPPERS are a happy group of little piggies today. They’re happier than Chunky Schumer.

Loaded “Oink! Oink!” cards.

Has anyone here ever known an American that starved to death? Anorexics sadly excepted.

[ridesthemiles]

EXACTLY

[ridesthemiles]

THAT AMOUNT IS OVER HALF OF MY ENTIRE SOC SEC MONTHLY BENEFIT-—WHICH I WORKED FOR-—AGE 16 TO AGE 65.

[themidnightskulker]

My food budget is about $200/month.

I can only imagine what I could do with $750. (including donating $400 a month in food to local pantries.)

[doc maverick]

That’s the proof that we have become slaves.
Illegal immigrants are automatically elevated to the middle class courtesy of the taxpayers without having to work for it! Free food, free medical care, free mortgage subsidies on their homes and tax credits for every kid they have!
It is grossly unfair and should be ILLEGAL. All these freebies while peoples health insurances are increasing exponentially to pay for the freeloaders and our citizen elderly and vets get nothing but a kick in the financial ass…..barely getting by.
People born to US citizens and who’ve lived and worked in the USA all their lives are SLAVES to the democrat freebie agenda for their illegal alien voting base.
It’s a CRIME. The RIP OFF of the century!

I was a 2nd Lieutenant 49 years ago, undergoing Airborne training at Fort Benning. My car was broken into en route and I had to use my available funds to replace the broken window. Fortunately, I had a case of C rations in my trunk, which kept me nourished during those weeks at Benning.

It wasn’t a big deal, C rations were normal fare when I was working as a forest firefighter for two summers in college.

We also ate a few meals at Country’s Barbecue in Columbus.
