DEMOCRAT BACKFIRE: The Government Shutdown Has Awakened the Public About How Many People Are on Food Stamps

[BluesLegend]

Nearly two thirds of illegal aliens are collecting food stamps, meaning that most of the people getting food stamps from the U.S. Government and the U.S. Taxpayer are not even Americans.

Step right up get your FREE food stamps. Just sign this document pledging to only vote for Democrats once we give you amnesty.

One aspect of the government shutdown that probably wasn’t anticipated by Chuck Schumer and other Democrats, is that it has revealed to the public just how many people receive food stamps.
Years ago, when the program was still called ‘food stamps’ it was seen as something that struggling families might use temporarily to get through a hard time. Then it was re-branded as the ‘SNAP’ program and destigmatized. People were encouraged to enroll. Now there are many more people using the program, many who probably don’t even really need it.
The longer the shutdown goes on, the more reports there are about this and it’s stunning to taxpayers who did not realize until now how incredibly huge this is.
Look at this report from The Hill:

It really is shocking and now that Democrats have prolonged the shutdown, more people are going to be talking about this.


Commentary:

Nearly two thirds of illegal aliens are collecting food stamps, meaning that most of the people getting food stamps from the U.S. Government and the U.S. Taxpayer are not even Americans.
That is what Democrats have accomplished in the 4 years of the Biden era.
The DOGE program initiated in January did uncover the fraud within the SNAP program that also included Medicare and Medicaid but I guess bo one was listening.
There have been some honest investigative journalists like like Oscar Blue Ramirez, Ben Bergquam, and Michael Yon that have reported and sound the alarm about what the Biden regime was doing. It was proven that NGOs like Catholic Charities, the Red Cross, and the UN were orchestrating the invasion. They got the proof that the illegal aliens were given Social Security cards and debit cards at the border before they were bussed up to the hotels in the sanctuary cities. And once they got settled into the hotels, they were given welfare benefits and healthcare. The illegal themselves bragged about it on Tik-Tok. Vegas-Axis on Youtube reported it too.
And why haven't we been talking about this since January? What other major benefits have they been getting? Section 8 housing?
It's no wonder that we're going bankrupt in America and becoming a Marxist Socialist country.
It appears that Obama was true to his word. He Fundamentally Transformed America into a Marxist Socialist State.

Lots of just straight up cash assistance, too. Particularly for illegals. Literally government employees just handing illegals a stack of cash as part of their "welcome" benefits.

I hate seeing sports injuries. I hate getting into a hot car in the summer.

That's pretty much the extent of my hate.

I'm not like you. Thank goodness.

You don’t hate Trump, both the politician and the man? If not, you have fooled everyone on this message board.

 

[sparky]

We just refuse to fix this "system".

what would you do if elected into a bankrupt nation Mac?

Here is where Mac provides a list of his preferred policies, most of which align with Trump and Republicans, but “orange man bad.” He has one of the more acute cases of TDS I have ever seen.

So basically SNAP formerly known as "Food Stamps" became a vote buying governmental dependency scheme or a dependency by design creating program, with it's all to familiar dependency growth mechanism to be encouraged per the FREE give aways involved), and all in order to feed the Democrat machine by way of that dependency and explosion of the new dependent reliance upon the now recreated by design program targeted at the heavily dependent Democrat base ..... Everything the Democrat machine does is by design, and it's usually a bad design with terrible future results.

That is a huge number no question. This is the end result of sending millions of jobs overseas. All of the West is suffering in their own way.

Congressional Dem's tried for years to pass legislation designed to discourage companies from offshoring jobs. Repubs blocked those bills every time.

Senate Republicans block bill to end tax breaks for outsourcing​

Proof Schumer is holding America hostage on a political stunt. CRs are for funding already negotiated and voted on programs, not new programs.

Since board Dimtards are avoiding my education thread like it's a job.............




Summary

The program activities of most federal agencies are generally funded on an annual basis through the enactment of regular appropriations acts. When those annual appropriations acts are not enacted by the beginning of the fiscal year (October 1), one or more continuing appropriations acts (commonly known as continuing resolutions or CRs) may be enacted to provide temporary funding to continue certain programs and activities until action on the regular appropriations acts is completed.

There are six main features of CRs.

First, CRs have provided funding for certain activities (coverage), which are typically specified with reference to the prior fiscal year's appropriations acts.

Second, CRs provide budget authority for a specified duration of time. This duration may be as short as a single day or as long as the remainder of the fiscal year.

Third, in recent practice, CRs have typically provided funds based on an overall funding rate rather than in specified amounts.

Fourth, the use of budget authority provided in the CR has been prohibited for new activities not funded in the previous fiscal year.

Fifth, the duration and amount of funds in the CR, and purposes for which they may be used for specified activities, may be adjusted through anomalies.

Sixth, legislative provisions—which create, amend, or extend other laws—have been included in some instances.

Getting rid of dead weight who aren't Americans would be the first step.

In progress, but as the Democrats say oh my "whose going to clean the toilets and mop the floors" ? They just can't rid themselves of their slavery loving mentality, yet meanwhile their children watch violent video game's in their basements unknowingly preparing for their future mental breakdowns or if that doesn't happen later, then it'll be drug overdoses taking them our by the thousands first.

The war on drugs should include the going after corporations that are using illegal labor in preference over American labor in which has the devastating indirect consequences or affect of losing hundreds of thousands of our young citizen's to drug overdoses and mental break downs that render them useless or worse dead as a result of.

Food doesn’t cost more, devalued fiat Monopoly money buys less.
Thank you Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Barak Obama, George Bush II, Bill Clinton, George Bush I, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, Richard Nixon and their lackeys Jerome Powell, Janet Yellen, Ben Bernanke, Alan Greenspan, Paul Volker, William Miller and Arthur Burns.

 

[beagle9]

Step right up get your FREE food stamps. Just sign this document pledging to only vote for Democrats once we give you amnesty.

It's also subsidizing cheap illegal labor for corporations that no longer want to pay or work Americans in a majority, and therefore it is truly a subsidy that has been used to subsidize rich corporations that hate American labor and their own fellow future American citizens.

You know, we've had changed out the administration's every 4 and sometimes every 8 year's, so why did this system of corruption get so out of hand and so entrenched over such a long period of time ?? Like JWbooth said below when listing the administration's he felt must have been kicking the can down the road, that they must have been complicit in it all. Don't think Trump is involved in anything but trying to fix the crap now, so hurrah for Trump for finally trying to put America first, and addressing these issue's head on. The Democrat resistance should tell everyone who the real culprits have been. It's the Democrats......................

Republican administration's are usually tied up trying to undo the damages in which if it takes a few year's to do, then it makes them look as if they are ineffective at their jobs, otherwise if the clean up overrides the progress of any repub administration that gets bogged down in the crap the democrats had created.

I'm not so quick to give Trump credit. He's been pounding Powell incessantly for more cheap money.

Again, he probably needs it to help the American people in order for them to break the vicious cycle that the Democrats had created for them. Can't break the cycle if can't get money in order to apply it in a better way for the American people that are all ears now.

That doesn’t seem possible. This is the best economy in the history of the universe and everyone is super rich.

“There are 42 million people in this country that need food stamps on a weekly basis.”“

And we’re saying ‘people’ deliberately instead of Americans because most of the people that are on food stamps aren’t even from this country.”“

45% of Afghanistan immigrants are on food stamps.”“

42% of Somali immigrants,

34% of every immigrant from Iraq,

23% of Haitians.”“

59% of ALL illegal aliens are collecting food stamps, meaning that most of the people getting food stamps from the U.S. Government and the U.S. Taxpayer are not even Americans.”


No way -
Democrats have assured us that people here illegally do not get Government aid.

Like the opt suggest - the crime has been exposed now. Some Democrats probably deserve long sentences in prison for what they've done in all of this.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

If we really want to 'make America great again', we need to return to the Golden Age of American exceptionalism, when one income could fund a family, and the wealthy paid 75% and up in taxes.
Now the wealthy hoard huge fortunes, and the majority are struggling to feed their kids.

No one ever paid 75% in taxes.

 

[Lockback]

Doc, I believe the greatest contribution Trump has given America is his ability to fully reveal to the American people just how corrupt the government really is. For example, 10 years ago concepts like the Deep State were fringe topics, now it is generally accepted that the government has been and is still largely controlled by unelected establishment players. He showed us how corrupt the judicial system really is. He showed us how easy it is to cheat in elections and get away with it. He showed us how the democraps fund their globalist agenda with stuff like NSAID, and he is showing us how the democraps are mismanaging social safety net programs for their benefit. Trump has forced the democraps to reveal just how nefarious they really are. Like him or not, people better understand why their government sucks and the dire need to get the government back on track to represent all of America in the most frugal way possible.

So, so true. Well said!
