About 12% of the population in on SNAP

None of that (except the part about Congress getting paid) is true. Poverty is to Red States as water is to the ocean.

What is tragic is that most SNAP recepients work. And even thought they work, they still have to rely on public assistance.

Look up the cities instead dumbfuck....what r u scared of?

I'm scared that I may have to pay your psychiatrist bills. You're clearly in need of vigorous mental counseling.

At the same time we know that 37% of Americans are clinically obese. How do we deal with that?

Nope, we have a revenue problem compounded by a wealth inequality problem.

The US government collects more than twice what the next highest revenue generating country (China) generates.

The rich get richer, the poor get poorer and more dependent on government. The ironic thing is you are creating the problem you hate so much.

How does stealing more money from producers solve this problem? BTW if you confiscated every cent of wealth from every Billionaire in the US you could barely fund the Government for a year. So tell us again we dont have a spending problem.

Says the guy whose party brought us 10 of the last 11 recessions (soon to be 11 of 12.)

Well, when you're done with the Billionaires, you move on to the Millionaires. Easy-peasy.

No, we don't have a spending problem, we have a revenue and wealth inequality problem.

Also, these ******* parasites don't produce jack shit. We could dump all the billionaires on a desert island, and they wouldn't produce anyone without workers and consumers to exploit. They'd probably resort to cannibalism.

You are just being intentionally stupid at this point.

What's stopping the workers from making all this stuff without the billionaire parasites?

Lack of proper investment. We don't need billionaires. They are parasites that have convinced you they are a vital organ.

You sound petty and jealous because you are a loser

Nope, I'm doing fine because I just earn what I need.

I'm sure 500 years ago, you'd have been fine with the King taking half your harvest because he was the King and he deserved it.

We don't need YOU, but here you are.

And rubes STILL think he cares about them. Incredible.

No, I am all for lower taxes. That's why it really grinds my gears that Dems have shut down the Govt because they want to take more of my taxes and give it to big insurance companies as a bailout

These are the voters democrats hope to motivate to vote by cutting off their food supply as they implicitly trust the very people who use them as political leverage as they watch them all starve.

Will it work?

Not to worry though, Congress is still getting paid.

About 25% of Kalifornians receive assistance.

California is providing two free meals to all her school-aged children without regard to need or income ... {Cite} ... maybe you-uns don't understand just how much food is grown in California ... 45% of America's vegetables and 75% of her fruits and nuts ...

Can Florida even feed herself, or have all her agricultural lands been urbanized? ...

Has anyone given any thought at all about retail grocery stores? ... if 12% of Americans stop buying food at Kroger's ... wellllllllll ... somehow I don't think this is good for Kroger's ... or ADM ... or any of these large international corporations ...

Good thing Trump-era tax cuts for the shareholders are in effect ... now Congress needs to get busy with refundable tax credits for these companies ... they're too large to fail ... I'm sure glad I'm not paying taxes ... with the IRS gutted, only suckers pay their taxes ...

Investment from whom? It's truly comical that you think that these major companies could just be run by the workers and that the people running them are of no value. If anyone could do it, everyone would. The reason the workers dont do it is the same reason a beaver doesnt use a chain saw.

Actually, it's been my experience that the people running companies are basically clueless and if they learned to listen to the wage slaves, they'd probably run things a lot better.
