First SNAP Ban on Candy and Soda Set To Become Law

[Polishprince]

Good idea. Cigarettes and liquor are already not to be purchased either, due to those products unhealthiness.

If you consider all the perks they are eligible for, it's equivalent to something close to $20,000.

It’s actually more…..about $26,000.

 

[Lisa558]

So we subsidize them at living standard that is comfortable enough for them to not want to improve themselves?

Exactly. Where’s the incentive? And where’s the incentive for their children to want to do better?

And these leftists are acting like these kids will be so deprived if they have to go without a candy because their mom decided to spend her cash on something else, like a pack of smokes or another drink.

We WANT children to see that there is a difference between earning your own way and being on government assistance. Otherwise, the cycle is perpetuated for generations.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

let's not punish the children

How about putting that dangerous spawn in highly disciplined orphanages? Worthless or unmarried parents have no right to their children. If we can't force abortion on them at the welfare hospitals, we must guarantee that no more inevitable criminals are tossed back into their breeding pools.

you have to remember that for progressives continual governmental dependence from these systems is a feature, not a bug.

It's easier to please serfs than citizens.

Ahh.. so if you get free shit from the government, they own your ass, eh?

Ever hear the expression, "Beggars can't be choosers".

The liberals are talking about taking children away from responsible parents for questioning their transgender choice, and yet we allow irresponsible parents who can’t even feed their own kids to keep theirs.

My parents grew up during the Depression. They got a treat on their birthday. The rest of the time, they were grateful they had a chicken wing and watered down soup. They sure as hell weren’t demanding OTHER people buy them a soda.

 

[ThisIsMe]

Most poor folks, the really poor ones, have some form of other income.

Whether it be AFDC, child support, SSI, etc.

. . . or they work.

If folks want a treat? They need to pay for it out of their budget.

They need to choose, junk food, or cable and streaming services.

got it

All poor kids are criminal?

When all things are considered, it's not too bad a deal. Housing, food, medical, phone, disability. Sell a little something for the head on the side, and you're all set.

For those that are disabled & kids in a bad spot in life, this is a pretty offensive and ignorant thing to write.


. . . if you could have everything taken care of by the government, but you have to be blind or crippled, or be raised by drug and alcohol addicted parents. . . . . which, "deal," would you choose?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Why stop there? The needy, sick and disabled should be barred from seeing movies, having desert, having children, or enjoying life at all. Just put them in a cell and feed them bread, lunch meat and water, right?

They can't live in the arid areas of the Southwest?

I think children should be removed from drug or alcohol addicted parents. We should bring back orphanages. They’d be better off.

If a social worker finds out that a parent is unable to care for their kids because of alcohol and drug problems, they are already removed and placed in the system.


. . . not sure what your point here is.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

I'm going to have to make minimum wage for 1 year and 6 months when my social security kicks in.

After that I can make as much as I want.

Weird-ass law. (Don't ask me, I didn't write it).

Don't retire early and you won't have that problem.

My point is…..good. As it should be.

Good idea. Cigarettes and liquor are already not to be purchased either, due to those products unhealthiness.

George Burns smoked cigars--- chain smoked them. He lived to be 100.

Dean Martin drank like a fish. He still lived to be 78.

If cigarettes and booze are unhealthy for welfare recipients, they must be unhealthy for everyone. Maybe the government should go back on prohibition and take everything bad for us off the market?

I still am missing the constitutionality of how in a free country based on self-determination, we are somehow voting for the government telling people how they should eat? More then telling them, trying to use the force of law to MAKE them eat a certain way, with no clear benefit in doing so.

Where does it stop? First one group, then another. First it is just candy and pop, then it becomes a ban on violent TV shows, wrong thinking and fast driving.

I'm just amazed at how the same people who would revile the government arresting people for "misgendering" another with the "improper pronouns" can sit here willing to let the same government oppress others simply because they had the misfortune of needing the government's help.

Maybe we WILL end up some day where our government treats us all like little children and doesn't let us smoke, drink, have unprotected sex, more children than two, or eat or drink anything sugary, fattening or sweet, own a fast car, or live in our own choice of home, job, career or pick our own spouse.

We are already taking steps in that direction with banned words, unable to offend certain groups while others are protected.

Gonna ban hot dogs? They’re not healthy.

How about bologna?

Technically we can improve the quality though.

Seems to me more a demonstration of ignorance and hate, than anything intelligent written by you, TBH.

If I PM you my PayPal will you send me fifty bucks for a movie and concessions for this weekend for me and Mrs. Flops?

Or am I barred from movies and snacks?
