Here It Is---Trump's New Food Stamp Plan: A Basket Of U.S. Food, Direct To Your Doorstep!

[dcbl]

I think Trump believes that the government can deliver like Amazon does. If that was the case, then why the miserable response to Puerto Rico?

2 reasons

for one; deliveries made that have to cross a body of water and out of the country are more complicated and difficult than deliveries to a physical address in the United States is fairly simple

this is especially true when there a bunch of deliveries to people living in a condensed area (IE - public housing)

second; part of the problem with our relief efforts in Puerto Rico was outright corruption and theft - people stealing and selling the stuff we sent over to help people

our post office is actually pretty damned good; if anything, it is under priced

what I mean is, a letter from Miami, FL to San Francisco, CA SHOULD cost more than a letter from Miami to Tampa; but it doesn't

the delivery of the food is not that big of an obstacle & this plan would absolutely reduce theft and abuse in the system

...We are trying to feed the people, stop being so negative If it was Obamas idea, you would have a chubby going

Yeah, but by resurrecting a long-dead bureaucracy and logistics arm of the government, you erase and then greatly surpass any so-called savings...

In the end, such a plan represents Spending a Dollar to Save a Dime...

Good Stewardship of taxpayers dollars it's not.

Why do Republicans have to act like such pricks when it comes to the poor?

They just gave billionaires a $1.5 trillion tax cut and to make up for it they have the poor drinking canned milk and eating Spam?

Once again, Trump is doing the right thing!

Getting actual food to the people that really need it and reducing the opportunity for fraud and theft in one fell swoop.

Progressives will, of course, complain about this and find fault

Why do our friends on the left want poor people to go hungry?

Have you even bothered to consider the logistics in doing something like this? Home delivery of food baskets? Who's gonna deliver them, and how often?

Yep this is another kindergarten idea from the child in chief.

What you mad you might not be able to sell your food stamps for crack?


This is what it's all about, get a clue.

Trump should hire that lady in Atlanta to do it.

Great idea. Recipients will learn to cook the basics while getting rid of some of the junk food: microwave pizza, TV dinners, chips, etc. Eat healthier, better food.

Then you'll feel really good - so you can get off your ass and get a fucking job. Lol.

Sounds like Michele Obama's School Lunch Program... and THAT went over real big, didn't it?

households receiving $90 per month or more would get a portion in shelf-stable milk, ready to eat cereals, pasta, peanut butter, beans and canned fruit, vegetables, and meat, poultry or fish. The remainder of the benefit would go onto the debit card for use at approved grocery stores.


Looks like C Rations
Why can't we send them real food?

Canned milk, meat, poultry and fish?

It looks better the Michelle's failed school lunch program

I love it. The plan is winning!
Hopefully, this will avoid shopping carts full of stealing, lobster and junk food.I’m for it!




Trump’s new food-stamps plan: A basket of U.S. food, direct to your doorstep

This won’t work though it’s a great idea. Food stamps aren’t to feed people. They are a handout to agribusiness and Walmart. There is a reason the Department of Agricultural handles food stamps.
Walmart employs several firms in Washington to head off any tampering with food stamps.

They don’t have to act like pricks, they want to.

Michelle didn't cook those meals
Republican school districts did

Hmm, government cheese went away for a reason. What was that stuff really, anyways? Does anybody know? All of a sudden, the cheese in my fridge is going to get a day older.

I'm sorry, but to me it seems like dredging up a proven failed idea.

Bureaucracy will make short work of mopping up any potential savings.

They celebrate punishing the poor

It is very bothersome that these people can not see that.

Spam, and canned milk is nothing but processed shit.

Hey maybe this means the milkman would make a comeback...

Makes them feel better about their own miserable lot in life.

Nah it’s just a poorly thought out plan that will never happen
