Look at all these junk foods that Amazon lets people buy via SNAP.

America wasn't founded on sloth and gluttony.

So now you are going to tell me that no one is forced onto SNAP food stamps unless they are a lazy, fat pig?

Please tell me you are not that obtuse.

America was also not founded on authoritarianism and fascism. It was founded on small, limited government, liberty and self-determination.
 
It really amazes me how anxious conservatives who are supposed to stand for limited government are eager to give the government control now over what they eat, foolishly thinking that it is OK just because it only affect that "other" guy, stupidly forgetting that once that door is opened, government will be coming after all of us as well.
It's your neighbors money

You like statistics. I like data.

So, what happened?
 
As a taxpayer i could care less what the pittance of snap buys. Snap benefits are of little cost.
SNAP is designed to help people avoid the reality of their situation. If you can eat like a middle class family you're doing ok.

Statistics are built upon data.

Data is meaningless without statistics.

Statistics is the analytical crunching of data to sift out of it what we can glean from the data, so, one is worthless without the other.
 
Dont people have more to worry about than what snap benefits can buy?

Statistics is like an invitation to a dance.
Data is actually going to the dance.

Has anyone considered that it’s probably the junk food companies themselves that are lobbying the government to keep their shitty products SNAP eligible?
 
Wrong. Stick to carpentry, you are not a scientist.
Scientists examine the data, then write confusing statistics, then burn the data, so all that's left is confusing statistics.

"There are lies, damned lies, and statistics."
 
So if all forms of welfare (Cash, medicaid, food stamps, subsidized housing, subsidized childcare, food banks, SSI and many other government/tax payer funded programs) were eliminated......what do you think would happen???

Would there be enough jobs available? What about those that can't work?

If you think the poor & homelessness is a problem now, how do you think it would be impacted without such programs???
As if it's working now. Keep lowering your standards and enabling people.
 
Hey, look at it this way: The more shit they eat, the sooner they’ll “move on” and the sooner you’ll be rid of them.

No doubt there are problems and abuses of those programs,, but they do help more people than those that do abuse it. Has nothing to do with 'lowering standards'. I'd rather a portion of my tax dollars go to pay into that system to help our citizens, than to some foreign country to help theirs.

My point was that there are consequences, if those programs were stopped and would create bigger problems because of it.
