42 million Americans will be starving starting November.

By the way, I just "updated" this previous post to show you an example of what caring for others means. Go back and re-read it.

You have no way to show how you care about others?

I could give you an example of what I did to help out a poor person just TWO HOURS AGO. But I hate the way you libs make false accusations against decent, caring people - and then demand they defend themselves.

It’s a nasty way of trying to send your enemy off on a tangent to deflect from the fact that you’re full of lies.

I NEVER lie. I learned early in life that lying is stupid and harmful and have made it a point (an objective in life) to never lie about anything.

In 95% of all my posts here, I offer tangible proof (through data, statistics and facts) to support what I say. Lying is idiotic because it is so easy to prove someone being a liar.

As such and with your statement about me lying, PROVE IT!

Marjorie Taylor Green disagrees with you. She blames the Republicans for the shut down. You ask how someone who has been such a Trump supporter like you are can say this? well here you go with proof of it, with herself saying it!

Greene voted for the CR

So your excitement is misplaced

Not as much as good stamps costs

BS. Prove it!

I never implied that she didn't. What I stated is that in many things that the Far Right Republicans want, she is now against. I showed you the list.

Address the facts of the OP and not deflect to something that is not in the OP

You back up your assertion

AI Overview

The estimated annual cost for the government to perform drug tests every six months on all members of the Food Stamp Program (SNAP) would be in the
tens of billions of dollars, with estimates of the total program cost to the government running approximately $70 billion annually, before factoring in additional administrative and legal fees. This immense cost is primarily due to the large number of SNAP participants, the frequency of testing, and the significant associated administrative overhead.

Now prove your point!

If the high cost is due to the high number of participants, then using drug tests to cut down that number will save money in the long run. Wirhin six months or less the program could be saved!

Wow, you certainly live in a fantasy world!

AI Overview

Compromise has been a regular feature of American politics, including between Democrats and Republicans, throughout U.S. history. However, the willingness and ability of the two parties to compromise have varied significantly over time, with periods of strong bipartisanship interspersed with intense partisan polarization.

I never proposed testing every SNAPPER every month

testing them the first time they apply and banning them for 6 months, and then random testing afterwards with 1 year ban 2nd offense would save billions

Each ban saves government far more than testing

Bullshit.

$70 billion dollars / 42 million SNAP members = $1,667 per drug test. No way, no how.

Neither of us can “prove” we are right

There are too many variables

But as long as MAGAs control government we should do it our way and see what happens

That won't help the homeless people you describe. Even with assistance for housing, food, medical, counselling, and employment, they are still living in a primative state. They need close supervision, or they will harm themselves further, no matter how much money is on their ebT cards.

The homeless aren't monolithic; some are drug addicts who will spend a huge percentage of any money they receive to feed their habit.

Imho, they would benefit from your solution.

There's another group of homeless who would use the same amount of money to put a roof over their head as I did when I turned 62 and became eligible to receive SSA benefits after spending the previous 14 months living on the streets.

I wanted to go to this food bank give away but I don't have a new truck. They said by that I would have to be one of the people handing stuff out. The vehicle lines were over a mile long.

'Counting pennies': Houston families seek food aid as SNAP hangs in limbo

More than 300,000 people rely on SNAP benefits in Harris County, where most of Houston is located, according to Texas Health and Human Services.

What sort of change do you envision?
How much would it cost?
Who would pay?

"Wealth inequality is higher in the United States than in almost any other developed country and has risen for much of the past 60 years.

"Racial wealth inequities have persisted for generations, reflecting the long-standing effects of racist policies, not individual intentions or deficits.

https://apps.urban.org/features/wealth-inequality-charts/

"In a nation that professes that those who work hard and play by the rules should be rewarded with social and economic upward mobility, these persistent disparities are a stark reminder that, as a society, we have not achieved this goal.

"These charts tell the story of wealth inequality in the United State..."
