Responsible SNAP Budget

[Lisa558]

(Not sure where to put this, but mods can move it.)

Welfare beneficiaries will get half their monthly SNAP benefit for November. Let’s see how, with responsible choices, they can stretch that out. For purposes of this exercise, let’s say it’s a single mother with two little kids, who normally gets $750 a month. So…..how can she stretch the $375 for this month?

1) Four packages of chicken (16 main meals) at $35
2) Two pounds of ground beef (8 mains) @ $15
3) Box of spaghetti and sauce (4 mains) @ $5
4) 3 bags of frozen veggies @ $10
5j 10 cans of fruit @ $15

All dinners: $80 total

1) 2 Dozen eggs @ $8
2) Two boxes cereal @ $5
3) Juice carton @$4 (mix with water to stretch it out)
4) 3 gallon of milks (not sure, let’s say $10)
5) Package of cheese @ $3
6) Two loafs of bread $8

All breakfasts: $40

Kids get free lunches, so for Mom only (and weekends for kids)

1) Five tuna cans @ $10
2) Another loaf of bread @ $4
3) mayo @ $3
4) packages of sliced Turkey and bologna @ $10
5) apples, bananas, whatever, let’s say another $15

Lunches: $42

All basic meals: $162

Add in another $40 for pudding snacks, jello, bags of chips, etc., etc.

Still comes in around $200 for a basic “charity” diet for November.

Trump says SNAP will be half funded in November. What does that mean?

Give em beans, pork, rice, maybe some cheap beef potatoes cheese, some fiber supplements, a nice muliti vitamin.

The best balanced nutrition our industry has to offer

Our maybe seeings how everyone loves chinese products we can pay the chines to make welfare nutrition bars. We can be real charitable and make 5 or 6 flavors

Looks like they’re going to have to cut back on the steak and lobster they’ve been feasting on at our expense.

I would remove, by benefit restrictions, the pudding snacks, jello, bags of chips, etc., etc.

Real whole foods only.

Welfare bums know that they can buy the costly stuff (lobster) with SNAP and still go to the charity food banks for the rest

Plus children get free lunches at school

So dont expect to see dead bodies in the streets anytime soon unless they are overdosing on drugs

What a crock

Snap beneficiaries are not routinely buying lobster you dick

They buy fish, shrimp, and the like and people like you see that “seafood” item and claim falsely that they are buying lobster

Dishonest

 

[Zincwarrior]

Maybe do something about an economy where 12% are that poor.

Yeah that's it. Derp derp.....

The shutdown will be over this week. No need for special budgeting.

The numbers aren't consistent -- the source I read said that there was $5B in the contingency fund and 42M recipients. Simple math--5B/42M=$119 and change. How is that half? Someone, on one side or the other, is lying.

Dishonest

There are a number of SNAPPERS popping up on the internet and popping off about simply stealing

how do you know how often they splurge on expensive foods?

I wasnt born yesterday but maybe you were

So show us proof that buying lobster with EBT funds is anything CLOSE to a common occurrence

And not some bullshit tik tok video. That would be just stupid. You’re not stupid right?

 

[Mac-7]

Why do I have to convince you?

We have enough political support to reduce SNAP abuse without you

 

[Lesh]

Why to I have to convince you?

Why? Because you’re a liar

And you’re gleefully taking food outta people’s mouth. Many of em fellow Republicans

The shutdown will be over this week. No need for special budgeting.

I would submit you are not far off, and the reason has nothing to do with SNAP, the ACA or anything else.

The nationwide air travel system is breaking down. We are having normal days of 10,000 flights being cancelled or delayed now. In three weeks the Thanksgiving Holiday occurs and absolute millions will be attempting to fly. Screwing that up is a career ending event for both Congress and the Executive. They will need a week to get operations back up to speed.

So I figure next week.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Maybe do something about an economy where 12% are that poor.

Maybe that 12% could make better choices. The fact of the matter is most people end up where they are in life due to their own life choices, good or bad. Few people are victims of circumstance and even in those cases, that's not always a defeat.

 

[Darkwind]

Maybe do something about an economy where 12% are that poor.

There are 42 million people on SNAP. There is no greater indictment of the government than that.

The economy is not responsible for feeding you.

YOU are responsible for feeding you.

That means you don't buy votes by handing out other people's money.
