Kentucky wants to ban junk food from SNAP (food stamps)

[Mac-7]

There are military personnel who are on food stamps, you arrogant, ignorant clowns are fools. Just thank God you don't need it.

The lower, entry level pay grades are not ment to support a family

Single soldiers do not need food stamps

No, public assistance money should only purchase staple foods. If welfare recipients want junk food and luxuries they should get jobs and pay taxes instead of sponging off the taxpayer.

That is the stupidest shit I've ever heard here.

Think about it. Do you really want some crazy evil woke piece of shit corrupt communist delusional government bureaucrats to decide what is and is not "junk food"?

Man, I've been a USMB forumer for quite a while, and seen a lot of really stupid ideas brought forth here, but that one takes the cake. Perhaps you did not think about the unintended consequences of your proposal.

They need to go back to directly handing out foodstuffs. The good old days of government cheese. Problem solved!

If I gave them the money, you better damn well believe I can tell them what they can and can't buy with it. Why do you blacks always feel you have a right to other people's money?

Probably for the same reason white folks do, you don't mind giving your Orange God 20 million to attend a sporting event, but you will ***** and moan about children receiving school lunch.

Bull, that’s a thing of the past. A private E-2 makes $2,400 a month plus food and housing, a married corporal E-4 makes $3,600 a month plus up to $4,000 a month housing allowance (that number fluctuates depending on where he is stationed), plus a food allowance. That’s over $94,000.00 a year. The average American salary is $64,000.00 a year. A private E-2 which most troops get within six months makes $29,000.00 a year plus free food and housing which probably pushes that base pay up to the national average.

If he pays taxes yes he does.

The government should not ever dictate what the people eat. That is some Orwellian shit there.

We should pay for their bourbon?

 

[Rawley]

Good idea.
Really ought to return to the old commodity programs.
Flour, cornmeal, salt, bacon, butter, beans, canned goods, and such.

Need some proteins

Having been a recipient of government cheese, those weren't good old days.

They are paying for it, not us. It is their money, not yours. You seem to be very misinformed.

?? SNAP money is the taxpayer's money. You're really down with the recipients using SNAP benefits on liquor?

uranidiot. When the taxpayers for it, we have a right to say what you're eating.

Don't forget rice. A very cheap food and good for you.

 

[StatesRightsForever]

Stop being a racist asshole. People of all races take welfare and SNAP and all behave the same way.

Hey einstein. Know what a percentage is?. The % of blacks on welfare is 10 times the % of whites.

For the slooowww section; i should have said paying for it...

All the more reason to get off welfare. But I've eaten it before and it wasn't bad. That cheese slicer was a pain in the ass though, and the powdered milk tasted like soap
