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

[WorldWatcher]

I agree in principle that food stamp recipients should not be allowed to buy random junk food with it.

I also don’t really think it’s that big of a deal one way or the other.

It’s certainly not worthy of the multiple threads on the subject

You guys really hyper-fixate on minor trigger-issues sometimes

That pretty much sums up my opinions on the matter also.

Lefties, if this makes you cry….go buy soda and candy for people on welfare.

Lefties are generous with other people’s money.

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.

$100 plus oil sure isn't helping.

IF THIS BOTHERS YOU, GO BUY SODA AND CANDY FOR PEOPLE ON WELFARE YOURSELF.

PROBLEM SOLVED.

Lefties, start a non profit…provide IDS for those who cannot get one, and provide soda and candy for people on welfare.

Call it “ID & CANDY”.

Democrats declare people shouldnt have rifles.

Poor people should not have rifles

The issue very clearly bothers your side far more than the left.

You’re the ones fixated on it and triggered by it.

There’s bigger fish to fry than some low income, uneducated single mother buying a pop and a bag of Cheetos with her food stamps.

Tediously categorizing exactly which food products can and cannot be purchased with the card, and then enforcing it would cost the taxpayers more than simply leaving it as is

I watched the video. Seems many are bothered.

Glad you agree with no soda and candy for those on welfare.

Good for you.

Poor people should not have rifles

Poor people should not have free speech.

And what do you figure your personal out-of-pocket expense is for providing the losers with candy and soda?

 

[Nostra]

It seems you guys love punishing the poor for being poor.

Why not put a big loudspeaker above each cash register when someone uses and EBT Card that calls out, "POOR PEOPLE, EVERYONE, POOR PEOPLE!!!"

Good idea. Maybe we can shame them into noy being deadbeats.

Interesting. Requiring a person put money confiscated from others to good use for their families buying healthier food instead of junk food that's nothing more than calories is punishing.

Think that over carefully, everyone.

I think the whole thing is petty and micromanaging.
Treat people like adults and let them buy their own food

 

[Nostra]

Yet you are fine with the fruits of your labor being given to the Military Industrial Complex.

Yep. Cuz that is in the Constituition.

Free meals isn't.

Pettiness is a sacrament to that bunch.

 

[mudwhistle]

$100 plus oil sure isn't helping.

I remember when you liars were saying $10/gal gas was an indication of a strong economy.

Why is expensive energy good under Democrats but bad under Republicans?

Because you leftist are full of rubbish.

 

[Nostra]

Trump declares the poor cannot buy candy and soda because it is bad for them.

Then maintains a diet heavy on soda

Do as I say, not as I do

He pays for his. They can do the same, stupid.

Nobody said they can't by candy and soda, liar.

 

[Nostra]

Lefties, start a charity, set up tents outside of stores, and buy soda and candy for people on welfare.

That would be using their money, so it won't happen.

And adults take care of themselves and have responsibility.
They should spend the fruits of THEIR labor on whatever they want.

As soon as they start acting like adults and support themselves.
