Facts about forcing the use of the emergency fund:

It will take $9 Billion to cover all Americans using EBT cards, Partial payments will cover most

After they drain the EBT piggy bank, that's IT. Emergency fund will dry out and people who have been selling their EBT for cigarettes, alcohol and Lobster will have to go without their Winston's and their Cool cigarettes and Lobster tails. .

Trump admin warns 42 million Americans could lose food stamps as shutdown drags on. ​

USDA is warning that SNAP funds will run dry starting November 1st. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) said it does not have the ability to independently reshuffle funds into the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), commonly known as food stamps, according to a recent memo obtained by Fox News Digital.

The Government shut down is causing a lack of funds. Trump is not going to do anything about it. He is using this as a tool to get the Democrats to give in on the Government shutdown position.

I do know that the Trump supporters will be saying that this is Chuck Schumers fault as he is the one that advocated for the Democrats not to give in. Nonetheless, the man in CHARGE is Trump and the responsibility falls on his shoulders as he is in a position to fix this, either by giving in to the demands of the Democrats not to cut Medicaid and Medicare, or by finding the funds to give to the SNAP program so that these Americans do not starve!

This will show if Trump truly cares about Americans or if it is all about power and control.

If that bothers you, then you shouldn't be a Democrat. As they always do, they manufactured the crisis.

Hey, I don't know what is allowed or not allowed to buy if using an EBT card.

I support this SNAP, but what can they buy with it, and what can't they buy with it.

I just want your opinion/knowledge.

Who can provide the information about what is allowed to purchase?

In My Opinion, SNAP purchases should be
limited to 'certain' products.

Acceptable items. I'm sure to miss a few very acceptable items.....So name the acceptable ones I missed.

1). Canned, bagged or fresh vegetables, nuts and fruits.
2). Canned or Bottled...... Beans, Chicken, Condiments.
3). Dairy Products..... too many to list, but all are acceptable.
4). Bread Products.......too many to list, but all are acceptable.
5). Protein..... like Jerky, Fish, Pork.
6). Tofu.....yuck, but sure.

NO to the following, I'm sure to miss a few, so once again, feel free to add to the list.

7). Steak, because I don't even buy Filets or Wagyu or Kobe. Flank Steak, Chuck, or Roast, OK.
8). Age restricted items, like tobacco and alcohol.
9). Candy and Chips.
10). Hardware, well everyone needs tools, but NOT on EBT.

Thoughts?

If Costco can limit my 2% cash back to certain items, why can't EBT do the same thing with purchases?

Many Americans need welfare due to economic hardship stemming from low wages

It's apparent we may be addressing the symptom vs. the disease there Lucky

AI Overview

Many Americans need welfare due to economic hardship stemming from low wages, a lack of savings, and unexpected life events like disability or unemployment.

And that can all be traced back to a person doing nothing beyond high school to get some career or job training, often due to having a baby out-of-wedlock - or simply not wanting to put in the effort. Even someone of mediocre intelligence can get a Pell Grant and take a vocational program.

(The minorities that have above average incomes - such as Asians and Jews - emphasize the value of education and the stigma of having an illegitimate child.)

Being shiftless and lazy has a lot to do with it. Lefties would have you believe that all moochers are hard-working people down on their luck.

Not true

They always defend the wrong people. They defend shiftless, lazy, conniving people who scam the welfare system while mocking hard-working blue-collar people as “morons in flyover country.”

People are human, You going to punish them for that?

You actually believe that Trump will negotiate thereafter? Hahahaha, if he believes he can win without having to give up anything, he will not negotiate thereafter. The Democrats believe this (exactly as I do) and that is why they are playing hard ball. They are playing the same game that Trump is playing. They are following the rules set by Trump. If you play in his court, you have to follow the guidelines set by him.

Oh, and by the way, do you not see that Trump has been holding the nation "hostage" since January? How hypocritical it is to blame the Republicans for doing the same!!!!!

The line has been drawn. No more money to illegals. Democrats would see Americans do without to protect their pet invasive species. Republicans will deport the invaders.

Is this the same thing to you?

Is punishment not giving people free stuff they haven't earned or taking stuff from people who earned it?

Who exactly is being punished?

They can be punished for their own bad judgement, even if they are human.

Did they actually cut off the SNAP benefits? I haven't heard.

I’m not punishing anyone, but enabling their bad and irresponsible decisions just robs them of any motivation to do better. We have generations of families on welfare for that very reason: they know that if they don’t take action to be self-supporting, other people will just pay their way.

P.S. Reducing food stamp allotments so they can’t afford expensive steaks or shopping at Whole Foods is not punishing them.

These libs also think deporting illegals aliens is “punishing them.”
