People receiving welfare are complaining they now cannot buy candy and soda with tax money they are given

[BS Filter]

Im for healthy food but in moderation candies are healthy too chocolate is good for the brain

What's soda pop and chips good for?

They can have all the junk, Twinkies, and other garbage they want by spending their own money.

They have money of their own? When you beg for your existence, it is not unreasonable to apply restrictions that reduce further costs to the rest of us by running up medical bills based on a shit diet. The same with people who DO have jobs. If you are paying for your own health insurance, you can live whatever lifestyle you wish as long as you aren't committing a crime.

For people who are truly in dire straights, I’m not opposed to allowing them some treats, but that’s just me. It gives them a little normalcy to their lives.

It is in the GOP Playbook

Instead of going after corporations and the wealth for not paying sufficient wages and benefits to the working class, they point to poor people getting assistance to eat and say…..THEY are the reason you are suffering.

First, I don’t point at wealthy PEOPLE, they are not the problem, now, if you want to go against the corporations they run, I get it.

Second, there are 2 types of poor people. There are people who are really down on their luck and there are people who are fully capable of earning a living but refuse to do so. I don’t blame the first group, but I certainly do question the second group.

It's not funny how you Democrats love creating more poverty so you can bellyache about how Republicans hate the poor.

Democrats are nothing but a bunch of con-artists bent on destroying our economy.

Fact is, poverty shouldn't be a constant or generational....but Democrats need a poor population to sell their BS to.

So they create poverty on purpose.

Poverty relief doesn't cause poverty any more than Chemotherapy causes cancer.

Lefties are generous with other people’s money.

If I have to pay to prop us Israel, you have to pay to feed poor people.

I dont back leftists.
Speaking of welfare, did you hear your messiah is going to bail out an airliner?
Corporate socialism is even worse than redistribution to the individual.
I am sure thats ok, though. Right?

If you are against MAGA you do give aid and comfort to some really bad democrats... so at this point in time we must stick together because the alternative is the end of America as we know it.... Why can't you understand that?...

Poverty relief in the form of money and free stuff does created poverty... it freezes folks into a life of being poor and a slave to the democrats.... it becomes generational...
Your kids and grandkids will also live a poverty stricken life...

I look at it this way.
The poor learn to exploit the welfare system
The wealthy learn to exploit the tax and subsidies system

The only difference is the wealthy have an army of lawyers and accountants to help them exploit the system.

Boy, the vile dems sure get pissed when taxpayers make decisions on how EBT money should be spent.

Were it up to me this would be what they get.

Processed Potato flakes, and tang are nearly as bad as candy and soda.

The only problem that I see with this policy is that it isn't a national policy, it is a state by state initiative.

Soda, candy cut for many SNAP users starting Jan. 1. What states are affected?

At least 18 states will implement changes to the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program in the new year. Five of them face changes on Jan. 1.

I was outraged when I first watched someone first use SNAP at a McDonald's in my state.

Whitmer partners with Michigan restaurants to allow SNAP benefits for meals and liquor buyback program

The liquor buyback program is similar to the one administered earlier this year.

The old song that the rich cheat the tax system is untrue today... believe me dude the IRS does not let the "rich" get away with shit.... so there you are wrong... but you are right about the poor... they do exploit the system because of the way we set the system up....

Yeah its going real good right now.

Buy half of Halloween and Easter candy and freeze it.

Saves lots of money.

Take 1/2 the money spent on hair and nails and use that for candy and soda.

Those are loan guarantees. We are not loaning the money.

So do soda pop and candy.

I don't expect them to be able to buy junk food and run up medical bills that the taxpayer has to foot because of their junk diet.

I don't support the bailout of Spirit Airlines, and if you were paying attention, most of the GOP opposes bailing out a twice-failed airline.

I don't support bailing them out because Spirit was the worst airline I have ever flown and I didn't even have to pay for it!

The phrase "promote the general Welfare" in the U.S. Constitution refers to the government's responsibility to ensure the well-being and prosperity of its citizens. It indicates a concern for issues such as poverty, housing, and social welfare, emphasizing that the government should act for the collective good of the nation rather than just individual interests. This concept is a fundamental goal of government, as it aims to provide for the welfare of the general public.
American Constitution Society+3

Nowhere in this mandate is mentioned "education". Our government, through the "education" system, keeps the citizens dumb as a rock and dependent. Worse, people are content with this.

Total horseshit from an undereducated boob! You should have studied more!
